I wish i had a tire sponsor....
I need a tire sponsor that will sponor me based on love of the track and not talent  Every two days is going to cut "deep" into the budget next year 
even if i had flipped them, it would have been the same outcome, i think.

IMHO, I think you have a suspension issue as well. It seems to me as if there are tears on both sides of the tires. I am no suspension Guru, but take a look at this video from Dave Moss and maybe you can see what could be possibly tearing the tire.

This is the only bad thing about the Dunlop tire, they are very sensitive to set up (tire pressure, suspension, tire temp and etc). When I ran them on my 06 GSXR 600 race bike it took about 3 full track days to get the settings right on them. After that, they NEVER looked like the pictures posted in this thread.
I will let you guys know how the Michelin Power One's are after my next track day in 2 weeks.

I've seen the video before, and you're probably right. The suspension is all stock except for some drop in Ohlins 10.5 front springs, spring install and SAG was done by thermosman. BUT, that was with the Q2s on board. However, the bike feels VERY good and planted with the 211's. So until the talent level and bike feel tells me more, imma stick with what i have. I thought i seen some tearing on the early morning runs that weekend, due to the low temp. But, i decided to go with how the bike felt rather than what my eyes were telling me. Mostly looks like snot, to me?
**Edit: TP was spot on BTW, 23 off the warmers. Also, i dont know if comparing a liter bikes tire a 600 tire is apples to apples?
