Cheers, RH
I'm going down to Bike Tyres of Leeds for a set of Michelin P/R3's later this morning, they're on offer with free fitting to bike @ the moment so I'll ask them or get Michelins Techie number.

I've been in touch with Dunlop technical and they say 34/34 wet track and 30f/28r dry track for the SportSmarts on the Ducati, based on the recommended normal road pressures. I had originally planned to do Snetterton on the Ducati but it was the thought of binning it that led me to get the SV. Not that I'm planning to bin the SV of course but the amount I paid for it was rather less than, for instance, the Termignioni carbon cans on the Ducati!
Never done a track day before. Apprehensive, but I'm sure it'll be O.K.
