for those that have two sets of rims/tires
whats your combo?
street/track (for example PP/PR)
track/rain
street/rain
im considering getting another set of rims, considering being the key word. if i do just wondering what you guys run with them.
i think my personal best choice would be street/track combo.
btw side note: the rims im looking at are 150 for front and rear with rotors and cush, straight and true from a proven seller off the wera boards. would you buy?

1 set for rains
2 sets for dot's / slicks
Makes it easier instead of having to run your wheels to the tire guy after a race and having to wait while they may be busy..... However street use id say just get a set to mount your trackday tires on

Race/Race/Race.
Combo is determined by the weather outlook. Typically leave rains mounted and stored in the basement. IF I ever race again, we take them to every track no matter what.
But, I usually only have two sets with me at track day events and they are mounted with race DOTs or slicks on both. I don't ride in the rain unless I can get money...

"If you don't race in the rain, then you are not a racer" you pussy!! lol. If i've driven god knows how many hours to an event and it rains, please believe i'm racing! Shit, I ran mid-ohio for an STT trackday. Helps to get that rain setup dialed in
Ofcourse I would only be at a race if there was money involved....

Did you not read my post? If I am going to a race and it rains, I'll race. But, after 14 years, I've earned the right to choose when i ride and what conditions. I don't need practice rain riding anymore...

lol, i love it when monte yells at the instructors who say "but i've only got slicks" when it rains. those are some classic moments. rain can be fun, if you're on a bike you dont care to crash...
