[Ducati] Are these ok track tires??

[Ducman]

I have these tires on my spare rims, no ride height adjustment needed. I use
29 front/30 back for track, 33/35 Street. They won't get alot of miles if
you commute with em compared to the BT012's or BT010's.

A buddy gave me a brand spankin new set of Bridgestone Battlax BT014 tires
off his '06 Gixxer 750, as he is a Michelin man.  I am replacing some very
shagged Pirelli's Super Corsas with these tires.  He was stating that they
are more of a street tire, not a heavy track DOT legal tire.  I thought
these were the tires that are coming on most Ducati's now anyway.  So, I am
assuming that they are perfectly fine to be used on the track, but I thought
I would ask.  I could be wrong, but I thought the British mag "Superbike"
just named them in the top three tires out there now............

Two tech questions on these tires;
1) What would be the pressure I would run on the street and then on the
track?  There usually are not any Bridgestone tech at the track days around
here.

2) Do I need to compensate ride height adjustments with the change in tire?

Thanks in advance,

Dave
