If you want to experiment, try some more rounded profile tyres MEtzler, pr dunlop depending on what aspect of handling you want to change

I know have the pilot power on the back on the Mitas Sportforce in front.
Met some other XT riders that use their bike very hard on track and they all had problems the Michelin dual compound tires.
For sportbikes they work fine but on supermoto's it gives lots of sliding..
Will try a new set of Mitas Sportforce after this one and maybe get a pair of semi slicks just for the track!
