Help: Tire recommendations?


2016 Kawasaki Ninja 650 w/ ABS. Completely stock but might see a suspension upgrade.Looking for a tire with decent grip that'll give me at least 5k miles. My riding style includes a lot of parking lot time and occasional track. No canyons. No commuting. No long trips. No joy rides (maybe a few here and there). I spend about 10 hours of week practicing.. hard braking, pulling off on corners, lean angles, quick shifts, and acceleration maxing around 50-60 mph as that is the limit of the space I have available.Tracks are expensive for my budget, to attend regularly, but I want a track lifestyle, so I must practice when and how I can. Occasional track days is the best I can do as of now.My current options are Michelin power 5 tires vs. Continental ContiSportAttack 4.I've been recommended the Michelin Power RS. But the 5 series is supposed to be an improvement over the Power RS with the power being more aggressive tread pattern vs the road 5. The biggest issue with my options is that they are new and have no reviews. The reason I consider the ContiSportAttack is its single compound vs. other brands being multi-compound. There has been comments about the transitions (straight up to lean) having a noticable transition (i.e. wiggle) as a result of the compound changes.In the future when I dedicate a track bike, I intend to go with the Dunlop Q4 Sportmax. However, it seems like the Dunlop Q3 are in a similar category as the Power RS and therefore Power 5.Recommendations?
