So, what are your favourite tyres to use on track?

I've only ever used Supercorsas and Bridgestone R10s so far. The supercorsas are my favourite as the R10 front didn't give quite as much feedback, no issues with the rear however. Currently got some D211's on ready for the next track day to see what they're like.

Never tried full slicks as I'm always worried about any damp patches on the track.

Only tried Supercorsas or Racetecs so will be interested to hear other opinions.

Rosso Corsa or Racetecs for me Thumbs Up Not tried any others but given the feel and feedback I've got from them I won't change.

Racetecs for me. Don't like Michelins, they seem to let go with little warning when hot compared to the Racetecs.

I have tried most of the road legal race tyres.

My favorite has to be the Dunlop 212's long lasting, super grip on all compound levels. And Dunlop wets are amazing too.

The D211's are just as good, just a slightly older model. You won't be unimpressed by them, used the D211's on a 4 day trackday in Almeria back in January.....Loved them too

That's good to know. Was hoping to try out the D211's yesterday at Silverstone but it rained so heavily they sent us all home without even going out once Shocked

Even worse from cold - never found them THAT bad from hot, but really, really shockingly bad from cold.
