Track tire question.

I love my Corsa III's but I'm going to ask anyway.

If you were given your choice to pick a set of tires for track use only, what would you pick?

I can't out ride my corsa's yet but I'd like to stop abusing them on the track and get a set of tires for track day use only.

Would like slick and non slick picks.
I will NOT be using them on the street at all so mileage does not matter.

I've riden on corsas and their equivalents for the past three seasons. Great track tire. No need to change to anything else. If you want to go with a GP tire (supercorsas, power race, BT-03's) you should get tire warmers, and a generator to limit the amount of heat cycles. Unless you race, I can't see GP tires being worth it. I ride in the advanced group and I don't feel that corsas ever limit me. There are many coaches in my org. that use corsas. BTW, I ride an R6 on the track.

I've had more problems with GP tires than the corsas. GP's can be downright dangerous on the first two laps without warmers. And my experience is that they are more sensitive to setup and can wear at a faster rate when things aren't ideal.
