Sorry to bug everyone again but after the med/soft D209 fiasco I decided it wasn't worth running in the hot temps of summer on the (apparently) abrasive tracks of MAM and MPH. I called the TrackdayStore up and spoke with someone (Brian? Can't remember for sure) and settled on a set of D211GPAs with a hard/med rear. Got them mounted up and ran one day at Motorsport Park Hastings last weekend.
Info:
Track - MPH: Hastings, NE
Bike - 08 CBR1000RR
Suspension - Stock, baseline settings done by ducati omaha
Tires - D211GPA
Pressures - hot on warmers 33F, 23R. Off the track I was seeing 36F 25-26R
Pace - low 1:40s give or take.
The rear doesn't look to bad to me. Hastings is supposedly more abrasive than MAM, which is already pretty hard on tires. The front is what worries me . I've never had wear like this before.
Rear left side looks pretty damn good:
rear right side looks similar to the 209 soft/med (albeit the 209 looked worse than this after one session and this was after one DAY.)
---ran out of room for pics, see more in next post
