I've had Evo's last a season+ on outdoor tracks that are by no means "nice." I have some G+'s waiting to be glued up and expect similar, but make no mistake, they are 100% race day tyres.
Yeah - they definitely would be race day only. I just bought a FFWD rear disc and they will be going on that.
My current wheels ( and what will continue to be my front wheel in combination with the disc) are shod with Continental Tempo II tyres. These are pretty decent but i thought i would opt for something a bit nicer for the disc. I usually run the Tempos on the rollers before a session - they seem to be robust enough and not having to carry training wheels everywhere makes a big difference to travel convenience.

Ive always had matched tyres in the past - any issue with having mismatched front / rears if they have different max PSI or grip for example?
