I've seen that ad - anyone care to compare an experience with a 209 front to a 211? I've only run 211's.

I used to run the 209 front and loved it. I'm guessing it's not quite as good as the 211, but I know there are plenty of riders out there that have gone faster on the 209 front than I'm capable of going on any tire...

I'm sure it's more tire than any of us need (goes without saying :) ) What sort of wear did you get out of it?

The Dunlop fronts seemed to me to wear forever. Once again, I can't compare to the 211, but they definitely seemed to last longer than the Michelin fronts I'm running now.

How many days did you get? I've managed to get 4 or 5 out of a 211 front.

It's been a while since I've run Dunlops but I seem to remember running 2-3 rears per front tire. I actually still have a couple 209 take offs in the garage that look like they could go a few more track days no problem. I don't think you'll have any trouble getting 4-5 or more days out of a 209 front. How much are you paying for the 211 front/rear combo?

I think I'm paying around $375 for 211's - this seems like a deal so long as the front holds up close to the way a 211 does.

For $85 less, I know I'd be gong with the 209/211, at least try it. Get a set and throw in the garage so they are ready to go for your next track day...
