hello...
I have track day for two weeks. Track is relative speedy and have very sharp asphalt (track for bikes - grobnik - croatia). I just buy two sommer pair used tires. One in original size for rear 235/40/17 kumho ecsta spt (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....odel=ECSTA+SPT) and two litle bigger 235/45/17 bridgestone potenza re050a for front. (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Potenza+RE050A). Both pair tires is old only 1 1/2 year. Tires have enough profil.

Is it dangerous this combinations two manufacturers/two model/two dimension tires on track like this?

I'm no expert, but I know running different tires left/right is bad. Front/back not so much.
