Rear rubber for me Hornet, track days?

[nzspokes]

Im not enjoying my PR3 on the back. Feels like it moves around a lot on hot days and at a recent track day. Would a Pilot Power 1 or 2 be better? Or a PR2?

Got a track day in a week so putting some thought into it.

Yikes, looked it up. Have a set of pilot powers on the 750, great special awhile ago...
A new matching PAIR of anything known brandname sporty should be ok.

Chuck a set of Metzler Racetecs K1 front and K2 rear for the track would be heaps better. Swap them back when your all done on the track.

I really liked Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas on mine. Didnt stop me decking it at a trackday but thats due to my lack of talent

only a rear? what's on the front?

PR3. May do a set. But the front feels fine. Although it has an odd wear pattern.

I've been advised to get Pirelli Super Corsa's for my next set on my track bike... lots of real racers swear by them!

I'd change the pair if I were you....
Don't use race tyres if you plan on riding the bike on the road.

IMHO The Michelin pilot road series are a good bet, I race my Ducati in clubmans with them on and they are very predictable. They wear evenly on well balanced rims and are good in the wet.

They tend to when you're only using half of it.

The 3s are the first ones Ive had a problem with. I may try Power 2CTs.

Fair call.

Yeah that wasn't a dig either. But modern 120/?/17's are near on impossible to use up on the street unless the fucking thing has just fallen off the side stand.

Its got a 1 high, 1 block low thing going on with both tyres. They are a great wet and to and from work tyre. But on a hot day they feel to squirm. Not saying Im a Rossi though, just would prefer a different feel to em.

guys go pretty bloody quick on regular old powers. $420 for 120/180 set from 'treads is a bargain I reckon.

Sounds very like rebound, stop playing with your clickers and get someone to help you set the bike up. Bike "squirms"? Unless you are on wets, tread pattern, compound and construction are unlikely to be at first fault- look at set up and pressures first.
