| I'm trying Dunlop Slicks next weekend for the first time on my new racebike at Snetterton.
I've only been timed there when I took my ZX12R there last year. It had K-tech front and rear suspension and was only the 2nd time I rode it so it was set the same as when I picked it up. On D207's (rear nearly shagged) my best lap was a 1min 25.
Later with a scrubbed 190 section rear Metzeler sportec M1 I clocked a 1min 24 with a lot less spinning and sliding.
Even though it's winter I'm expecting to get sub 1 min 20's on 16.5" slicks as the bike was in BSB last year and still has most of the trick bits. The motors stock now with a full race system but should still go well it's a ZX10.
I'm not sure slicks would work well with road suspension and they're a bit of a gamble if you havn't got spare wheels.
Dunlop D207RR's are the best all weather track tyres I've used so far. |
