Long-winded post:
I got a friend who gets slightly used race tires and sells them to everyone around here. He can get me a couple of D207GP's for $180 mounted balanced and all and he claims that they only have 1 heat cycle and about 40-50 miles on them.
When I start looking around at what a new set of street tires and mounting costs it very much seems like this deal is worth a try.
I have heard a few different viewpoints on this subject. Race tires don't last anytime on the street, You never get them up to proper operating temperatures, They are only good for a few heat cycles and then they're junk, They're not made for the street.
Then there's the other side of the story: You can power wheelie in the rain, Street compound tires are scary...blah blah blah
I have gathered that everyone around town that has race tires on thier bikes absolutely love them but I wanna hear it from other people besides the local squids.
