Re: whats a good trackday tyre?
Supercorsa's are in my opinion the best you can buy. I have a set of scrubs for sale. I also have a set of Bridgestone BT003's up for sale too. They arent as good as the supercorsas for racing but for a track day tyre they are superb.
I'm in Lincolnshire too by the way. |

Best value v's performance, Supercorsa pro's. if you're buying new.
Or obviously, as Typhoon says, any scrubs. C |

Re: whats a good trackday tyre?
I've run Rennsport RS1 front and RS2 rear and Supercorsa SC1 frt and SC2 rr on my CBR600 and find they feel about the same. I prefer the Rennsport front because I use a 120/60 rather than a 120/70 and just like the feel on turn in over the higher profile - you couldn't get the Supercorsa in the correct 120/60 size last time I tried to buy new ones. I have mis-matched with Rennsport front and Supercorsa rear with no ill effects.
I am led to believe that Pirelli and Metzeler use the same carcasses but slightly different compounds and tread patterns |

Im going to give a set of the new BT003 rs rear and a 003 rs type 4 front in Feb next year a go. raced them this year on the CB500's and they were good and didn't break the bank.

+1 on the Supercorsas.
I used a set of scrubs and they were miles better than Michelin Pilot Powers which i though were pretty good at the time. (Still are good tyres...)
