Default Dunlop D209GPA 2 Rears and 1 Front

Found this set of three tires, 1 medium front and 2 soft rears, for about $400. Just wondering if I should pull the trigger or just get a set of 211's in medium or a set of K3's. My riding will be 40% riding to canyons and back roads, 50% riding in those canyons and back roads, and 10% on the track. Anyone ride on either tire?

Alright, I purchased these tires from dunlopracing a few months ago and I like them. I did a track day at putnam park road course a week ago and had no problems. I followed the recomended tire pressures and had a great day. I plan on doing another track day with the same tires next Sunday as they seem to still have life left. I'd say the rear will need to be replaced after one more track day. I hope this helps your decision.

I use BT003's on my GSXR Soft front with a Medium rear and they are really great, I use to use the BT002's before they stopped making them, and loved the grip on those as well. I'm on the stock tires for now, as I have only put 1000 miles on them and am just playing around on the bike till I get some sticky icky like on the GSXR. You might look into these.
