    So my question is not based on what's better or what you prefer but need info on the difference between the two.

    I'm racing this coming wknd at NJMP and Dunlop doesn't have contingencies and Bridgestones do.
    I am use to running Dunlops up here in the CSBK (official series tire) We run the slicks 180/60 from Medium, soft to super soft. Quite enjoyed the super soft at my last wknd event here and don't care for the Medium.

    How easy or hard is it to adjust from Dunlop to Bridgestone ?
    Are the carcases about the same ? I know that Dunlops are very hard in comparison to Pirellis.

    What advise would you have towards suspension ajustments when switching from Dunlop to Bridgestone ?

    Any advise and suggestion will be greatly appreciate and put into play.

    I run a '13 ZX636R with Ohlins FGR (gas cartridges) interns and rear shock.

    Cheers
    Alex

    There's a new R11 that just came out a few months ago. I don't have much data on it yet but @stickboy274 should be able to give you more info on it. He's East Coast but I don't think he goes to Jersey. He should be able to point you to who will be there and give you some info ahead of time.

    This is the WERA forum. How did you expect to get this to slide? Seriously?

    Do you buy a Happy Meal at McDonalds then walk across the street to sit down and eat it at Burger King?
