Hey guys and gurls.. so i have been using the Pirelli sc1 and sc2 on my cbr600rr 2005 on the tracks for last season.. just bought a pair of Dunlops Ntec Slicks (med) Front and (med+) rear... i have never used Dunlop before and for the compounds i chose those 2 because Dunlop were recommanding them... I am a fast rider looking forward to racing next year,, what do you think of the dunlop slicks? should i be very very careful.. or people are going nuts on the grip vs pirelli'ss :surprise:

Second hand info from the track, is (was?) that Pirellis have the most pliable carcass, while Dunlops have the stiffest. This could be a big change depending on how a rider is exploiting their tires. I can't guarantee it holds true still, but the tire guy at your local track should have some great advice, even if they are a vendor for a specific tire brand.
