What are the best tyres to use?

The best tyres to use for most participants are top end supersports road tyres. These offer virtually the same level of grip as slicks and are far longer lasting and less temperamental. Should you choose an intermediate race tyre, you can expect to get about 2-3 days hard track use out of them depending on your ability. Slick tyres are only recommended for experienced track day riders. They require a lot more temperature before working and significantly alter the handling characteristics of your bike.
