No, in fact 3 main types of tyres exist
Qualifying tyres [short life super soft]
Race tyre dry
Race tyre wet
Most if not all used the qualifying tyre
Bayliss used a race tyre not a qualifying tyre during SuperPole, Ducati
found a edge:
www.ducati.com
"Australian former world champion Bayliss, who returned to Superbikes
this year after three seasons in MotoGP, was the only rider to dip
under the two minute mark as he powered his 999 to a time of 1m59.696s
to take the first pole of the year, while his Italian team-mate Lanzi
more than made up for yesterday's qualifying session by grabbing the
second place grid slot, three-tenths behind Bayliss.
***********Both riders took the unusual step of running race tyres in
the one-lap Superpole dash, because Ducati Corse engineers had
correctly judged that the performance of the Pirelli race tyre on the
999 was better than the qualifying tyre over the entire
lap.***********"
