Should know more about whats happening this year after tomorrow , But the landrights stuff will not be finalised till closer to the event..
You want fairly hard tires, touring more than full sports soft ones overheat easier and can chunk,
Double check the speed rating..
groove shape seems to make a difference, something that has no crossing of the tread grooves seems to last better, where the grooves cross there is a less supported piece of rubber that is dragged into the gap and released as the tire rotates causing localised overheating and chunking
I used these to 220mph in the US http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/tirecata...asp?id=101 and previously used 208's
Good examples here http://two-wheels.michelin.com/2w/front/...44&lang=EN
the Sport is very much the wrong shape, though not as bad as the anakee would be , Power is a good shape but probably too soft , road may be a good option if this is your preferred brand.
How you ride will also determine tire life, full throttle constant hard wheelspinning is not good, some wheel slip is unavoidable , there is a sweet spot where you maximise drive .
