Best Tire Options

Most people will either pick slicks or rains and take the gamble. Sometimes you’re right sometimes you’re wrong. I’ve not seen many people with an intermediate option as the mixed conditions don’t last long enough to make it worth using.

 

The day I became a BB fan! What an incredible race from all the guys on the grid honestly.

 

Yeah, I've done that for years; hence my curiosity about a possible third option. My sense is that it is more of a track day rider thing to do, where guys don't have rain tires.

 

You know I understand what you're trying to do, but the factor that makes the biggest difference is a wet track. Rains are soooooo much better than a DOT I don't see it's a viable option. And if you're racing forget about it.
For me it's like driving on all seasons up here in the great white north or using snows. The fuckin snows make a huge difference just like rains do!

 

We had a day at Tally February last year that was very humid and light rain occasionally, so the track was not drying, but there wasn’t much water on the track. I’d call that the definition of mix lasting mixed conditions. I opted to go for a rain front and Dunlop Q3 rear with advice from Stickboy. This worked perfectly for the entire day. The rain front was chosen to have wet weather grip and the Q3 rear was chosen so it would not tear up and still work on a damp track.

 

Hope you bought a lottery ticket after that

 

I've always wondered how well something like the Michelin Road 4/5 would work in mixed conditions at the track.
