In other words since I am a novice and don't want to tear up tyres from the lack of knowledge about them, would it be moire cost effective to run the SP's for a while till I get faster. Or am I just over thinking this.
Yes you're right, SP are for road. (The poster above that stated R1's & 1298's sic came on SC was confused.)
If you're not in the fast group I would consider selling the SC's & buying something more suitable, like any sports road tyre. (M7RR, Sportssmart, Rosso Corsa, S20 etc.)
