I've heard great things about them, but haven't used them myself. I've been using the Bridgestone 090 on all my grey bikes. They're quite good.

I don't get on with Bridgestones... I'd rather use Chenshin! Laughing

I had them on my old 300. Were brand new for the Llandow trackday!
Matt had recommended to somebody about trying them, if I remember correctly. So I thought I`d give them a go.

I had the soft compound front & rear.
I thought they were really good, didn`t take much scrubbing in. Plenty of grip & feel.
Did about 200 miles that day. Was still able to use them around town. Sold the bike with them on too.

You were rather bloody quick that day too Roy! Very Happy

The soft/soft combo is what I have in mind.

Power Races

These are excellent track day tires, I use the Soft Soft Combo as well...110fr/150rr, I also use tires warmers to get them up to temp and they are very sticky and perform really well. Michellin slicks are best though for racing.

Hope that helps.

As much as I hate oversize tyres, Steve's F3 felt superb (even on a very cold winters day) on a set of hand cut 120 & 160 Michelin Pilot Race slicks.

The two standard bikes I've ridden with oversize tyres by comparison felt bloody awful!

Run slicks on the NSR but running them on my nc35 (track only) and really like em. Good for 4+ trackdays so far at a good pace. Have not had them do anything sketchy. Heard the Corsas are good too but I can't get them nearly as cheap. I run soft front and soft/medium 160 rear.

We've got Supercorsa Pro's on the Forum Racer, but like you say, they are expensive! The cheapest I've been able to get them so far is £196 inc VAT a pair in 110/150.

What are they for Andy? Your bike or a track bike? I'd always recommend D209GP's for the NSR as they're pointier than the Pilot Race's and Corsa's and a proper race carcass. Don't confuse them with the GP racer Dunlop do...

I'm using 120/165 cut slick's on the 300 and they are effin' amazing. Used with warmers they feel way more stable than any tyre I've used and handling is perfect, but I'm also on the correct 3.5/5.25 rim sizes for this 250GP size combo... If it's a track bike, try them, they're KR106/KR108's and I'm using them in the medium soft/medium hard compounds. They wear very well.

I had a pair of those Chenshin Skidmaxx Pro's (Death Master) on my bike back in the student m/c courier days. Lasted a few months as I recall.....that was about all they were good for.
