If he’s just looking to get practice as a newbie, any tire will be good. They are a harder compound, used for many slower club classes. If he’s looking to practice to improve his race pace, then I would use the same compound that they race on.
Thanks David. He’s just looking to get practice as a newbie and I think having a more consistent tire, even if it is harder, will be of more benefit for the time being. I’ll let him know.
