Heard Bridgestone dropped the BT03's - I ran a set on the Ninja 250 two full race seasons and still had tire left - those things wear like iron and I never had a problem with grip. I plan to run the Pirelli's on the R3, then see what the track tire guy throws out as a suggestion.
Track Tire choices
So with any small bikes track tires choices are very limited.
I know there is always the trusty and economical Diablo Rosso II
Then there's the new Supercorsa SC which some people are using already.
Then Dunlop came out with the Alpha 13s which I haven't seen people use yet other than supermoto guys.
Then there's the old Bridgestone BT003s
So if you have any opinions/experience with tires you like, please post them for rough data purposes

Same here, been racing on DR2's for 2 yrs.
as that's the ASBK production racing 250/300 Homologation tyre of choice,
27psi rear/31 front on the warmers.
As the day gets hotter and the tyre starts working well I'll drop to 26/30.
R3 seemed to like them 2 weeks ago and they were old well worn ones I used.
Dry track days I throw a SC1 front on as not allowed to use it for racing.
(allegedly I may or may not have snuck one on for a race or three
)I notice far better feel with the SC front but its hopeless when its wet.
Cant wait to get my hands on the 140 as I dislike the 150,, just wont work on 250's as cant keep the heat.
