Tim, I have used Michelin, Bridgestone and Metzler Slicks..
I used Metzler in 1995 when I was racing a few rounds in South Australia and Victoria.. They were Ok then but as I'm sure you'll agree, Bikes and Track Surfaces have changed.. I used Michelin for a year or two after and they were unreal. But, Things change.. In another post, Ben Stronach posted that he like the Bridestone's... particulary the front's .. Now, As I'm not anywhere close to Ben in lap times or Talent, I do agree with him that the Bridgestone slick works a treat.. The front is excellent as is the rear for a rider of my capability...Those first 3 laps when the tyre's are new are something else.. You can put the bike anywhere ( dont go for the walls though, they hurt) ..I never had issues with the front tyre, Only the rear after about 6 laps ..I dont think any rear tyre does the job everytime but the Bridgestone's worked for me..They always lasted the day..
Remember though, Slicks only really come into there own when the rider is up to pace straight away... My example would be the A graders at Wanneroo, Then churn out 57's and 58 all day.. I dont think that a Slick works correctly until the rider is at least doing 60's... Correct me if i'm wrong..
