Hey fellas,
I've put about 4k miles on my bike, and I would like to replace my stock tires, Dunlop D214. They are not the greatest even when it's new, people usually throw them away after few thousand miles as they don't have great traction and they don't last long. Sizes are 120/70/17 (f) and 160/60/17 (r)
My driving style is usually spirited (but no wheelies - burnouts etc.), I like to lean/corner and I practice a lot, but I don't go over 90 on the highway or anywhere. Sometimes I commute to work but I try not to ride if it rains, so it's very rare. I am also planning to go to few occasional track days (open lapping) next year.
So long story short, I'd like to get a tire that can last over 10k miles and good enough to handle few track day session if possible.
I did a quick search and people usually recommend Rosso III - Angel GT/Pilot Road for my type of usage, but I was actually wondering if it is good for occasional track days? I'd like to hear your experience.
Thanks in advance
Dan
