OK - i need some expert advice - so before I go to find an expert I figure I would start here with the TWs  actually I trust information I get from here more than other sources. I'm doing Thunderbolt this Sunday (11/14) with TPM - fortunately the weather looks to be decent - probably around 40 in the AM with a high of 60 degrees and mostly sunny. I'm currently running the Superbike Pro track day slicks with warmers. I put these on in the summer and I do like them. I also have a brand new set of Rosso Corsa's on a second set of rims. I got these for when conditions are not the best for the slicks. Given these projected conditions is this a situation where I should swith to the DRC's? I figure even though the temps might be reasonable the track will be pretty cold - I'm not sure how the slicks will react.

Disclaimer:
1. I am not an expert
2. I've never used either of the tires you are asking about
Assuming we are simply talking about temperature and not precipitation, I would say go with the slicks with warmers. No matter what tire you ride you will need to get heat in them and the warmers will somewhat help. Don't be fooled and expect to be able to pull the warmers off and go wide open throttle...no matter what you do you will need to take it extremely careful for a few laps and slowly pick up your pace. The only true way to get adequate heat in the tire and keep it there is laps.
Only other piece of advice I can think is to closely watch your tires and air pressures to make sure you are not cold tearing them early on, and this would go for either tire.
Good luck and ride safe...

What Nate said  The new Pirelli slick is pretty different in compound from "typical" slicks or at least it's being billed that way. I'd probably run them as well. But like Nate I'm no expert nor have I used either of the two tires (I have run Corsa III's and SuperCorsa SC's quite a bit). _________________ Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς www.WickedRacing.com - Go Fast Parts & Gear for Riders and Their Motorcycles PM me for "TrackWhore" special discounts

I liked the Corsa III's. Ran them a couple of times on the track and they have been my street tire of choice for the last 2 years.
Got a little greasy on me a couple of times (at the track) but it was during really hot weather. Supposedly the DRC is better yet.

Used the SBPs with warmers on Sunday at NJMP t-bolt - worked out well. Weather was sunny and 60+ degrees - great day to end the season.  See tw's are experts Can't wait for Jennings
