    Pirelli Sport Demon I think is most common at the track.

    What wheel sizes are you running?
    1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
    2005 KLR685, Aztec Pink - Turd II.3, the ReReReTurdening
    2015 Yamaha FJ-09, Magma Red Power Corrupts...

      One thread on each subject is sufficient. Cross posting the same question in different forums is discouraged here.

            You can get Bridgestone BT45's in both those sizes. They suit older, heavier chassis vey well.
            We've used BT45's on racebikes here quite a bit. Used them to beat bikes on slicks more than once....

              Good point, brains are in the rider, not the tire.
