    I have a Dunlop KR108 6680 slick rear with two sprint races and 10 practice sessions on it in my trailer at the moment. So lets say... 80 laps total on a 160+ horsepower Stupidbike.... I'll take a pic of it tonight for y'all.

    As yes, personal preference has a lot to do with it as well as what works with your bike.

    I destroyed a set of Michelin power ones in less than 50 laps. Hated them because they kept snapping loose on me, not sliding in a controlled and progressive manner I'd get with other tires. The Diablos held up really well but not as good as the Dragons I found. Also I didn't like the feel I got with the low pressures they run. The dragons will work great or crap depending on the pressures. I find for my style and bike F31 R28 hot off the warmers works best on a summer day. I also got great life out of the Type 3 BT-003Rs.
    TMP
    4 Days - 1 being a reverse direction so.....
    1:22 range (few faster) but 1:23 ish all day long without riskin myself or the bike
    = Ridin 85% = (havin fun) except for a session or two "playin" with some friends....
    These WON"T be involved in any "playin" but probably would do another day at 1:23's or less for ME.
    No warmers but I do a lap or so and ramp up my corner speeds to let em get up to temp
    Too many variables including ridin style to say for anyone else.

    However, with temps stayin below 18 ish say , I WON'T be trustin these ones 100% so a second set on tires on rims will be commin with me incase these are a bit slippy for me.

    Thinkin about it takes all the fun out of it !

    I hear CBRJOHN is selling some MINT tires. You should jump all over that, he may be willing to include some blinker fluid AND stickers. You never have enough blinker fluid or stickers!

    Hey,

    I want that back.

    I think I had a season of racing on that tire before you got it.

    I doubt John's shagged tires are any better than mine....

    I could use some washer fluid however...
    Mine's a little low.
