I tried slicks last year and liked them but we aren't allowed slicks in NoLimits series. I prefer K3 rear and K1or 2 front. Use them on track and finish off on road.

The K2 and 1 are more dedicated race tyre but I'm just not fast enough to justify putting them on the rear. They are meant to wear pretty damned quickly.
