The main reason that I run an "R" compound tire on the track is to reduce costs.Most R compounds cost about 50% of the the stock PS2's and will last much longer than a street tire with a little bit of care.I think the stock PS2's do a darn good job and my Toyo r888's are an OK trackday tire but far from being the quickest available and to take full advantage of the grip available there are things that should be done(alignment),but I will not do as this would ruin the everyday livibility of this car.If I get real serious about track days in the future,I will stop doing bike days and my Ducati track bike will be replaced by a proper dedicated track day car with full safety gear.
