Smooth operator , what tires are you running at the track ?
I currently run and love the pirelli diablo's . I got 5000 miles from the rear and just threw on a new rear . The front still has quite a bit of wear left on it , but again has 5000 miles on it . Would the front still be safe to run at nelson for practice . It looks fine , nice even wear , no flats , not near the wear indicaters or blueing or really anything wrong with it . Im asking cause I know its not always what the tire looks like that matters . I've only had them on the bike for about 2-3 months . What do you guys think ? Is it safe for a practice at nelson ? Or do you think the chances of me losing the front is to much .

I'm running Dunlop 208gp's. I have a extra set of rims,and I use them on the track only.Then I have Conti road Attacks that I switch back to for the street. I'm not sure about the Diablo's(compound/profile),if you did alright with them last time, then maybe your good to go. But I know a good set of tires not only helps in performance,but rider confidence as well.

I'll be back to Nelson Ledges on the 27th. Another local friend is going along too with his sv650. He raced it a few times but a new daughter and home improvments has kept him out for awhile. I'll do the morning practice and the 30 min. mini enduro. See how much my lap x times improve.
Roamr, if you can make it there,see ya then. I did see a Bandit on the mound watching the 3hr.enduro last time I went. Stopped to say hello,it wasn't anyone from the list.
