So there’s a 70% chance I’ll be attending my first track day in the near future and wanted to get a couple opinions on my tires. I’m currently running Shinko 009 Ravens with 2500 +/- miles on them. Most of my riding is commuting, which is why I chose them, and I am aware they are not designed for the track. Can I get away with them this one time or am I in for a miserable experience? I don’t want to drop money on new tires that don’t really match the majority of my riding, plus I figure I’ll have plenty of other things to concern with myself with on the track and I don’t want to add getting accustomed to new tires to the list. (At least I’m already familiar with how the Ravens feel.)
I also ordered new brake pads as I’m still on the stock ones after nearly 8000 miles. They have a bit of life left, but not an amount I feel is sufficient for the track. I’m starting to read thru some of the track info on here, but if anyone has any quick pointers or words of advice, I’m all for it.
Thanks!
