I'm looking for some recommendations.
I have a 2004 r6 that was a former race bike. I am using it only for track days. Unfortunately at my last track day I high-sided in turn 4 at loudon. The tires I was using were Michelin Pilot pure which felt great all day until the accident. When the back end slid out it felt really greasy and it didn't seem like I had any feel as to what the rear tire was doing. This was at the end of the last LAPS day where it was about 95-98 degrees and the track was probably around 130 degrees or something. It was HOT!!! I am wondering if I may have overheated the tire and maybe I should start using a race tire or something else. ( of course I do realize the tire could have spun up due to rider error but I really wasn't pushing it too hard when the accident happened.) The only problem is I only have one set of wheels right now so I would need something that could be used at a wet or dry track day. Also, I do have tyresox tire warmers which came with the bike. Any recommendations?
