Tyres And Tyre Pressures

With so much choice, and so many variables, how can you get the best from your rubber?

Most of the time I have a selection of slicks for dry riding and a pair of wets just in case, with my preferred choice being Dunlop as for the past couple of years I’ve used the GP Racer slick – purely because it’s handy to get away with using the same compound in all conditions! It’s not the same level of grip as the mighty Dunlop KR full race slick, but for my fast track day coaching in the UK and Europe, the Dunlop GP Racer gives me good grip, feel, longevity and is fairly priced (which is bloody important to me).
