    I am riding on Michelin 2ct about two months old and 1300 miles. I have many years experience and am confident in my tires. Will these tires work for my first track day but most important, will they pass tech. Thanks in advance.

    Absolutely. Any tire is fine for your first day as long as it has more than 50% of its life left.

    How much wear do the tires have? What group are you riding in? These tires will work great for you if they are in good shape. Below is a link to the bike and gear requirements for your reference. If the tires are not completely squared off and worn down to the wear bars you'll probably be ok. Worst case, buy a new set of tires or be prepared to purchase a set trackside and have them installed. Sportbike Tire Service will take good care of you at our events.

    The tires are not square, no commuting miles only sport riding. They look like they have plenty tread and not to the wear bars. I will ride the novice class because it's my first track day also will be my son's first track day. I have raced with WERA but that was a long time ago. I might buy new tires but would like to try these and definitely not buy race dots. Thanks for the reply.

    Not to the wear bars, just wasn't sure how tech measures fifty percent tread wear. Thanks for the reply.

    Most likely you will be fine, especially if you are running in Novice and they're not squared or completely worn down. Feel free to post a picture, if you get a chance to get some additional feedback, if you'd like.

    What event will you be attending? Welcome to your (soon to be) first track day!

    Thank you me and my 18 year old will be attending Talladega in June. I have a pic of my rear tire but the file is too large, I will try later.
