    If that’s off your bike, you need to look at suspension settings that has looks like really bad shear.

    Hotter it is the softer you want the tyre and vice Versa, that’s all you need to know 😎

    SC2, SC1, SC0.. cold to warm to hot.. for me (and my setup) the best tires.

    I understand it as this:
    The hotter the weather—–

    You want a medium or hard front

    With a

    Soft or medium rear

    Having said that, if your running dunlops…..

    Number 4 rear is perfect for all conditions

    2&3 fronts are very good

    Thanks for the headsup, cold tyres + cold day, not good combo.

    I run an SC2 rear SC1 front but you need to keep the heat in tyre if you aren’t quick enough they don’t work properly also the pressures are crucial too I run 31.5 front 29.5 rear hot you will need to experiment but all a waste of time if the suspension doesn’t have a good base setting and need a good setup up for for your riding style.

    Depends on how you ride. If you are a rookie. Street tires are ok. Intermediate then DOT like supercorsa s2. Of advance. Then slicks. Don’t waste money if you can get the most out of the tires

    Actually slick can be dangerous if not ridden hard enough even upon leaving paddock with warmers.. inter tyres have loads of grip but will wear out quick if riding vry hard 🖒
