another tire decision - Ducati.ms

I am kicking around a couple tire choices for the R6 track bike. The bridgestone BT003 RS $255 shipped, or the michelin power pure $259 shipped. Does anyone have any experience with any of these tires? I intend on running them on the hyper on the street after they aren't able to pass tech.

I ride in the A group but havn't made the investment towards warmers yet.

Used the power pure twice on to different track bikes and i thought they where worth the money. One day it was a cold track day and the other day was about 110 on the track and both times i had no problems. I just tried the n-tex ama spec tire and i love them but over 400.00 a set. I ran 9psi in the rear great tire but rides rough. Its a hard tire.

thanks for the info. I ended up going with the BT003RS's for a few reasons. They are recommended highly on here, I can run them out on my hyper with my present BT16's ( I don't mind mixing different model tires as long as they are from the same manufacturer), and I found a nice deal on therm.

I am interested in hearing other opinions.

I've used the BT016, 003, and now the Dunlop Q2s, all really good street/track tires, you won't be sorry with any of these. Aloha Alex
