I got on really well with the Dunlop KR106/KR108 (number 1 compound front, 2 compound rear) at Almeria. They lasted really well and the grip doesn't drop of a cliff towards the end of their life like the Pirellis can. I chewed up my Pirelli SC0's after just a few sessions.

I can't say what they are like yet but I plumbed for CompK RR's for my first foray into slicks. Will be on Andalucia 10-13 March. Almeria 1 month today

Alex: ill see you there - im doing the split: Andalucia then Almeria ��
I like the idea of sacrificing a little performance for longevity - i'm not that fast!! So i might avoid the soft SCs then. I have a set of warmers so i think i should at least try something from the slick-shelf!!
When i arrive the bike will be shod with newish supercorsa SPs, so ill run these and then make the shift when the grip drops off.
Thanks for this chaps!

Pirelli Tyre Pressures
If you are using Pirelli tyres on track you may find the following link useful regarding pressures.

Bridgestone v02 slicks, grip all the way through, last 3days plus, and cheap....Lots of ppl using them
I too am going to V02 in Jerez once I take the CompK training wheels off. www.fwr.co.uk recommended that the CompK RR's would take me to 7-8/10 for pace. The V02's would take me to 10/10...so they are the daddy...
Don't flick the switch from 7 to 10/10 too quick lol

Alex. Did they give you any guide pressures to work with for the CompK Slicks ?
Yes as Per Ryan's link the CompK RR's are listed...

Tyre Size & Profile
In truth you are unlikely to notice the difference between the two unless your running a very fast pace. That and tyre sizes and profiles vary significantly between brands and tyre type. You can also alter suspension setup to aid turn in and direction changes.

Re: Tyre Size & Profile
As im shopping for new hoops i thought id ask what most are buying and run with that
That's the thing, ive used both profiles on both Bridgestone and Corsas and couldnt tell the difference.
