A buddy races with them on his SV. He seems to like them.

Get over the 180's. I was forced to step up to a 190 when I switched from Michelin to Dunlop and I haven't looked back.

Afaik, Michelin and B-stone should still have 180's readily available.

Did you ever try the 003 race compounds? Good tires.

Try the D211 N-tecs in a 190. GREAT tires. Steep pricing but they last forever.

Keep in mind, we are riding the same bike.

I have 190 GPas. Love love the grip and feel but don't like the profile on my 5.25 rear. I can't find a retailer, either locally or online that will sell me the BT003 race compounds, they keep showing up with RSes, which I've run at the track and found myself slipping around like crazy on. I'm not really a fan of Michelin prices. Thanks though.

I thought of the GP-A's after I posted. Those are probably a better buy for you than the 211's.

PM 101lifts.

He had a guy selling the 003's (race compound I believe) for crazy low prices.

If you are stuck on the 180's the B-stones are a good tire for the price.

Yeah I'm not racing. I think I know where 101 gets his rubber so I ordered from them. They're far, but they'll ship, so I ordered a set of 003s. Race tires are expensive.

I go but I am a mere mortal and am still using street tires. Most of my faster buddies use the bridgestone 003's

There are quite a few here that go to the track, but most are mainly street riders, and run street tires.
The main racers I can think of on here are CEO, DLIT, anyexcuse2ride, 101lifts, Achren, azoom, and I think Kathrine and the Chi do quite a few td's.
