    Trackday tyres that don't require warmers

    Hi All,

    I'm contemplating doing a couple of CSS classes in the near future (i'm a newbie rider, run around in yellow group at EC trackdays). From what I have been told of how the days are structured, it's impractical to fit tyre warmers between track sessions and classroom sessions. My new track bike (08 Yamaha R6) has Metzler 'Racetech Slick' slicks on it (K1 front, K2 rear) and from what I can find its inadvisable to use these tyres without warmers, especially if you're only using them for short sessions where they hardly get to temp before cooling off again.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent track day tyre (that doesn't bust the bank) which can be run without warmers?

    Even better, if anyone is selling some second hand ones that fit the above mentioned conditions, please let me know (I'm based in Sydney and I'm chasing 120/70 - 17 front and 190/60 - 17 rear).

    Thanks,

    Kris
