Motorcycle Race Tires

Newbie looking for current suggestions on motorcycle tires -- records in the classes I'd be in are 221 mph and 223 mph. Thanks

Bridgestone BT03 I think is their racing tire that works at Bonneville... but search this site, there was a lot of discussion when they went to racing tires at 200+

Thanks Stainless

I'm most of the way through that epic 2010 thread.  I see the BT003 became the universal solution. 

I'm assuming I want the T2 compound in the BT003s?  What about the Bridgestone R10 DOT Race tires?  Are they the replacement for the 003s?  Or just another line of tire?  Have the treaded race tires done better than slicks?  Or do the slicks hold up better?

Any other feedback on tires for relatively heavy production based bikes typical in 1350 MPS classes?

Thanks,
Chris
