What tyres are you likely to put on it next time out, and how much wear did the Powers show after the day? Also what slicks did you use to run on the 9, and how many days would you get out of them?
I really hope you can afford to get out to the track more often, I go through serious withdrawals between bouts.
The wear on the powers was very little, I use to tear through a set of slicks on the 9. The powers didn't tear or bubble up in the slightest, just light wear on the edges from accelaration. If I could choose I'd probly go for a pilot race or similar, they last longer than slicks and can be used on the road.. sort a.
I was talking to a guy out there who has 10 and he swears by the bridgestone 002's..
I prefered the Dunlop slicks, particularly the fronts as they had a higher profile which helped the 9 drop into corners. The rears were good too and so were the michelin rears. I'd get about 5 days out of a front and 2ish out of a rear.. It was better value to buy 2nd hand slicks, especially the dunlops, as they would work fine right to the end of the dot..
