Used race take offs from Nick. Think they run $100 plus shipping for a set.

If I didnt ride on the street... yeah. But since I do all kinds of riding .... I try to stick with street tires. Metzler M1s or Pirelli Diablos
Like today for instance... I could have used some Aquatread tires..... fucking rain....lol

Agreed. The stock Dunlop D207/D208 on ZX12s works fine to about the 9.50 range. I went high 9.5s on it no problems at full pressure. A shink will help consistancy at a track where traction is limited. You don't need a drag tire unless that's all you use the bike for.

If you don't ride it on the street . . .
Nothing hooks like a slick .
And they last longer .
