Re: Ducati 748 - Road to track/road
I would like something that is 50/50 track and road really for now.
I do have my other wheels stored away so when money permits i might put some Supercorsas on those.

Re: Ducati 748 - Road to track/road
Assuming your only going to use it in the summer, I'd be tempted to put some SC2s on your light weight wheels and wets on your old wheels.
I've run SC2s all year round and they were utterly fantastic in the summer and a lot better than you would expect in the winter.

What Monty said makes sense 
Maybe buy sport touring tyres for the other wheels though so you always have the option of riding on the road in colder conditions if you so wish

M7rrs for all year round or the Z8s if you want something cheaper.

Good deal on a set of used SCs here Duke. Not sure on the date stamps but look to be 2016.

Re: Ducati 748 - Road to track/road
There are loads of Supercorsaa in a 180/60 rear on eBay from the Ducati challenge. Might buy some after Xmas and stick them on the spare wheels.
