Starting to get excited for another riding season... street and track.
With that, was hoping to get some thoughts on what tires to run this year.
I have a 2004 Aprilia Tuono that handles both my street and track duties, and I am about 290 lbs... so I def. give tires a good work out, and I run a mid-pack Intermediate Pace.
Wanted to see what people could suggest for a decent track/street tire?
I know I could go the Diablo SP-v2 or BStones RS10 route.... but I have read that people only get maybe two days max out of those. Also hear good things about the Q3's, they seem to be the consistent and stable tire... but tend to get greasy when pushed really hard. But being a heavier rider, they might get greasy quicker; but they seem to have a better lifespan... 3-4 track days perhaps?
Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on what you think would be a great tire that can take the loads, and have a moderate longevity... but also give good feedback and feel planted. (I know.... I want it ALL! lol)
Any and all thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
