I actually wore out this last set of BT003s to the point that being hard on the gas made them slide, but not much.

If your going to run on the street only, then you can run the 016s...but on the track, go with the 003s. Personally I like running race tires on the streets because I only do "laps", so there is no long distance done to wear out the center portion.
Take a guess - the Govenator.

And my issue is I don't know how much street use my bike will see. CURRENTLY I only do trackdays, and go out for fun on the weekends for the same "laps". HOWEVER if my girl loses her job AND gas shoots back up to $4 a gal, I'll be riding to work to save THUS putting me in a predicament on my next set of tires.

However I have 2CTs Pilots on there now which are fairly new. They're actually starting to wear to a point now Whereas before the moron before me who traded the bike in on a harley, decided flat and wide was a better tire choice. (190/50 )
