It's up to you but I know what I'll be using a racing tire next time.
I somewhat have to disagree with you, most of the time a rider will not max out their tires. Usually bad riding is what causes a rider to lowslide. or not warm enough tires.

how many laps before you went down.

note: i'm not saying your a bad rider. I'm just saying i've seen too many people go out on the 1-2 lap and hit it hard and wonder why they lowside. And usually blame the tires.
