[puddytat]

Im going to Ruapuna on the 2nd sept for a track day on me r6 & the dunlop qualifier on the rear is down to about .5 of a mm off the wear mark in the centre of the tyre....will it do? Still plenty on the sides. Whaddaya reckon?

just depends if you're gonna corner or not?

is it square? if it is then the transition will be fun in corners. if it were me, i'd swap the tyres out then you don't have that worry in the back of ya head..and you can use another far fetched exscuse for being slow instead

Nah, its not too square,& I will be slower I reckon than on the Bros as I dont know it as well & its got lots of expensie plastic...hmmmm I got my new tyres waiting(pilot roads)@ the shop but dont think'll get to town b4 the day,yeah its a bit 50/60(%) @ this stage

If you've got plenty of meat on the sides then you'll be be fine getting one last track day outta the rear. Take a squiz at some of the race take-offs advertised around the place and even if they are well worn the centre section is in far better condition than the sides.

Nah get new ones, rolling from the centre to the sides will feel yuck and definately wont install confidence in your riding.
if you want to nanna around they should be okay

I second that...your due for new tyres anyway by the sounds...

Also, on the fronts usually, there's a step at the edges from road riding. Many a rider has binned due to crossing over the step and washing the front...

Definately recommend a new tyre...
