Interesting reading and I'd love to try slicks one day just to see what they are like - not that I could really do them any justice.
This weeks MCN has Colin Edwards riding his M1 Yamaha with Michelin track day/road tyres and although the bike was put on it's mildest settings he was only 2 secs off qualifying for the GP on them.
I reckon Rattler is right - they must be grippier so I must be able to go faster on them (mind over matter)
