Curous to know if anyone has tried them at high end yellow/low-mid red group...
Ran into a fellow using them at GB in the combined green/low end yellow group. He loved them, but I would like to know some more info from someone at a more advanced pace.

Thanks in advance!

“High end yellow/low-mid red group…”
LOL
 
I have no first-hand info, especially as they're relatively new, but MCN did a quick write-up on them recently that highlighted that being slick, you can flip them around on your rims to get more life out of them.

Otherwise they seem to fit in with the new Pirelli Supercorsa TD's and Dunlop Q4's as track day tires that don't need warmers. If they're like those tires, my understanding is the biggest drawback is how fast they burn up, way faster than race slicks.

They are the same as the pirelli superbike pros. I love them myself, and can get 3 days out of a set if I'm not spinning the rear for fun. Same bike as your new one. did you keep the KTM?

Sold the KTM a while back… I was intending on making my street KTM my track bike (1190 and dual spark vs. 1050 and single spark), and buy a new Ducati Streetfighter. Ends up the company l worked for lied. State of the union address said everything was awesome, making more money than expected etc. 2 weeks later (3 weeks after I sold the track KTM) everyone in my building was let go, and the jobs transferred to the Arizona offices. Then, Covid…

Grabbed a GSX-r750 at the beginning of the season. Been running Bridgestone RS-10’s this season, And they’re pretty good. Been using warmers on them as well - come of track, put the warmers on. When the session before mine goes out, I power of up generator. So far so good!
