If you mean tires that have harder rubber down the middle of the thread
and softer on the sides: have those, Michelin, Pilot Road 2ct. I can
certify they have lots of grip right down to scraping pegs, but I only
have them on since about 1500 km. Hope they keep longer than the Dunlops
that were on before. Those were gone after less than 6000 km.
