A Dunlop dealer, who has raced at Bonneville, told me not to use the Daytona tire. Yes it is hard in the middle but the sides are two different compounds.

I was told the same thing from the east coast dunlop rep. His suggestion was the KR108 N-Tec 6680 for the rear.

I think thats the compound my guy said to use.

Interesting. I spoke with a Dunlop rep at Race Tire Service, and he suggested the Daytona 211GP.

I couldn't find a Daytona take-off at the time, and I wanted one that had been worn and heat-cycled. I ended up with a set of 6680s.

Then I found a set of wheels with trackday 7704 (med) 211GPs mounted, metal stems, and bought them too, cheap. I will take them as backups.

But I'm still looking for a worn set of Daytona takeoffs. The road racers I've talked ot tell me it will be hard ot find them, as Daytona is very hard on tires, and in any case the tires are often asymmetrically worn.

So hopefully the 6680s will work fine for my relatively slow, naked 1000 this year.

Now thats the sort of info i was after 
question still how much influence the differing side compounds realy matter on the salt ??
and how tires that are designed to operate at a very limited temp range will respond to cold starts, will cold tearing be an issue should we be using warmers ??

We will be running Michelin Racing Slicks (not DOT's) on our rides going forward.
If you need help with Michelin Racing Tires, let me know as we get a decent discount from our Michelin Racing tire distributor.

You can send me a PM for more info.
