For racing, the compound choice depends on the track and the conditions of the day. For the street, I use whatever is left over from the track.

Same front and rear

SteveP · 01-20-2009, 02:29 PM

Numero uno for me.

Pirelli Diablo Stradas on the SV, and Diablos on the Ape.

Tires nowadays are tested together for profile, construction, and compound. They work better together and I am not going to pretend to be smarter than any brands R&D dept.

I don't care which brand I choose (usually whatever is on special) I try and get the matching set. I almost always pick a hard compound for the street (Diablo Strada, BT021, Pilot Road) and always go for a DOT tire at the track. I have enough confidence to run any brand to my limits and sometimes the bucking and sliding can be fun (as long as I am not trying for a podium).

Whichever brand and set I pick however I am always mindful to make the necessary adjustments to get it to perform as promised. Keep track of your ride height adjustments and make sure pressures are set appropriately for what your doing...

1) Because I run my track scrubs on the street. Metzler Racetech greens front and rear. When I was having to buy street tires I'd always get a matching set though.

1) Must have matching tires and matching compounds front/rear

2) I like a soft tire up front and a harder compound on the rear

4) If it's rubber and rolls I can roll with it because no one can stop me and you can only hope to contain me.

Probably #1. I don't really know if the compounds match. I just buy the tires that match up and that is what I go with.
