Session fit
How today's setup scores
Overall match for these conditions, your skill level, and planned workload. Grip is highest when the tire is inside its temperature window — softer is not always grippier.
Session overview
Your bike vs the call
Grip = the tire's bias (Grip / Balanced / Durability) — not the same as compound. Compound = how close the rubber formulation matches the rec. Temp fit = how well the tire's temperature window fits today's track temp. Real grip on track depends on being inside that window.
Overall match for today's conditions, rider level, and workload. Grip is highest when the tire is inside its temperature window — softer is not always grippier.
A lower-grip tire can outscore a more grip-biased one if it covers more sessions, needs no warmers, or better matches your heat-cycle plan.

Compound is the rubber formulation (Soft → Medium → Hard). Grip is the traction you actually feel on track — and it only reaches its peak when the tire is inside its temperature window. A softer compound does not guarantee more grip if today's track temp pushes it outside that window.
Recommended scores 6 pts higher under your current weights & session profile.
Today's workload favors a harder compound for life and consistency.
Vertical line on each bar = current track temp · bar fill = tire's ideal window
Estimated track-surface windows based on Pirelli, Michelin, Dunlop and Bridgestone compound guidance. No tire maker publishes numeric track-temp windows — actual tread temp depends on pace, pressure, chassis load and ambient. A pyrometer reading after a session is the only authoritative check. See References below.
Step 02 / Recommendation
Front and rear picks
Front and rear recommendations differ for this session — each axle is scored separately.
Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsa
Street-legal DOT. Pirelli does not publish a track pressure chart for this tire — pressures shown are a generic trackday baseline.
- Rated for dry track conditions.
- Track surface temp 28°C / 82°F is inside ideal 12–42°C (54–108°F) window.
- No warmers needed — heats up on out-lap.
- Balanced compound matches intermediate pace.
- Comfortable life for this workload.
Starting points only. Adjust ±1 psi per session based on feel, tire temps, and feedback from your control rider.
Bridgestone V02 Slick Hard
Hard slick chosen for ENDURANCE / long life on heavy bikes, NOT peak heat. Wide window; soft compounds remain the peak-grip choice on hot tarmac.
- Rated for dry track conditions.
- Track surface temp 28°C / 82°F is inside ideal 15–50°C (59–122°F) window.
- Warmers in use — race compound will be in window from lap 1.
- Endurance compound matches a long workload — one set covers the day.
- Comfortable life for this workload.
Starting points only. Adjust ±1 psi per session based on feel, tire temps, and feedback from your control rider.
Step 03 / Comparison

Pressures are starting points — final cold/hot targets depend on chassis setup, ambient, rider pace, and tire-temperature feedback. Pirelli SC1/SC2/SC3 baselines use the cited Pirelli trackday guidance, normalized to a Superbike chassis and nudged for lighter classes. Other brands use general baselines.
