A mate has offered me new michelin race's for £110. I think I'll wait until a bit closer to my track day in May before fitting them though.

Err, michelin power race mediums? I think.

They are possibly overkill for me!

I'd consider Sportecs... Sticky enough, IMO, for anything you can reasonably do on a road, but moderately durable (PB considers them "long-lasting tyres" ) Better in varied conditions than many stickier tyres too.

Lesson learnt is do some homework before selecting what keeps you between the bike and the tarmac. Great advice on here thanks guys
