Not sure if the same guys were there or not, but when I got Dunlops mounted at the track during the CRA weekend, my rear was mounted backwards on the rim. :o

I went back to Michelins this time...

Ike all I know is they will have 2 to 3 new compounds in July for us to try. Will see what happens then!

I don't think my 1:49s and 50s were fast enough to tell how a tire was working. But they didn't do anything funny. I was running an old set of 207GP Stars.

The dunlops on my 1000 held up perfect the whole time, I was just running the standard compound 240 rear.

I think the tire issue at MAM is a suspension setup problem more than anything to do with tires, or at least it appeared to be that way this past weekend.

There are issues with certain tires at speed at MAM. Ask Wait. Jensen just waited him out like a shadow and clobbered him when the Pirelli went off. It's the polymer based asphalt.
