You doing a TD, race or thinking trying them on a mountain twisty? If you happen to be coming to RA in a couple weeks hit me up...
You can get Michelins new at a deal thru Motorace's page on eBay.
New Dunlops thru Racetireservice.com. *Deals to be had under specials.
New Pirelli's at mphbikes.com
I've got a couple new sets of D 211 gpa's but u can buy them shipped thru link cheaper then what I've got in them.
Right now the Mich's and Dunlops at at great deals, because all the racers have bought 90% of what they'll use this year.
Usually I have sets I sell but I've sold all I had earlier in the year, and I switched to slicks/Pirelli's and I have 5 days at Road Atl (1race+2prac+4td's) on a set and they're still good.

( My take on used tires vs new- new is just insurance... )

I'm using them for the track. I'd really only buy used ones that had minimal wear, I scored a few sets here like that a while back. The Michelins and the Dunlops are what I'm leaning towards, my racer buddy uses Motorace for his. The only downside is no V front.

Motorace has Va & Vb fronts, they're in the sets, usually don't have them separately. But you can call Dave at Motorace he'll sale them to you.
There was a 289 deal on dunlops 209/211 combo, if u get the med/med u should get 4/5 days on them. Then they had a 389 deal on slicks. One frt med with two soft rears! If ur using tire warmers that'd be a great deal!
What's ur next track day? If u ride with STT come down to Road Atlanta Aug 18/19. RA is Always fun!

I'd like to do RA. Really just depends on costs. I did go STT last time. Went to RA to help a friend compete in WERA and was pretty blown away by the track. The 289 deal is probably what I'll do. Is the 209 front good though?

Yeah the 209 is a good tire. It was the AMA spec tire up until 2010. Your basic difference is it won't last quiet as long the 2012 Ntec's, but is really close to last years 211 Gpa's that weren't Ntecs.
