I think that's a Michelin soft front. You didn't note the brand. Is it a Michelin?

1225 is medium. 1246 is medium-soft. 1226 might be a typo. You want a 1225 for hot days at aggressive tracks. I stick (pun intended) with the 1246 everywhere and live with short life at hot, grippy venues. Tear it up! My fucking goodness but those are some great tires. Superb steering and they grip like an ugly girl you fucked by mistake.

PS: Do NOT get the Michelin rear slick unless you run a 420. The 180 x 17's are designed for a 5.5 rim and just don't seem to work on a 6.0.

I decided to buy a set of bridgestone BT002 medium, since Im not an expert and Im racing for fun on a zx12r on a shhort track and very hot.
A expert on tires told me, that a soft on that bike will overheat very fast.
Thanks for your advise.

Any decent set of slicks or DOTs will have you ejaculating in your leathers. Have fun.
