a tire brand?
how about DOT slicks?
is the investment (and continued investment) in slicks worth it for your goals?
would a spare set of wheels with your race tires be worth it for a street bike?
before you settle on a tire those are some important questions to answer

Heres the thing. I think I am almost certain that the bike will only be doing race school, and then be relegated back to street duty again. As much as I would rather not spend the money on another dedicated track bike and just use that one, too many people have told me the internals on that engine are not up to the task of full time racing.
If it were going to be used as my main track bike, I was told to NOT waste the money on slicks until I am on a non-vintage bike. This coming from the series owner....
