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

Tyres And Tyre Pressures

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!

So, following on from Big Mac’s deep dive into these four reprobates last month, having been in the saddle tearing up His Majesty’s highways, it’s time to crank things up a notch and bounce a few limiters off the walls around our favourite rollercoaster Cadwell Park. Armed with little more than a genny, some tyre warmers, and late autumn sunshine, here’s what went down when we let them off the leash...

UNIDENTICAL TWINS

KTM 990 DUKE On track...
