Let us know......
 

....what price you get the D207RRs for, if you decide on those...

Tim:frog::frog::frog::frog:

£136 from busters

or

Approx £145 from Mike Davies (DSC member), who can fit them aswell.

Rattler,

D207RR's
Demon Tweeks - £145
M and P - £148.99

Although i was originally tempted by Michelin Pilot race for £129 a pair at Busters.... but then thought better of it!

Is that £145 for a pair ? My local just tried flogging me 208's for £185 fitted ?

Mackster, yep prices are per pair!
although obviously not fitted.

If you want scrubbed 208GP's I can probably get hold of quite a few sets...

Roughly £100 a pair if that's any use

Thanks JPM but i think i will go with the middle ground D207RR's

Much appreciated offer though :)

on the metzeler rennsports what does it mean when it says "designed to cope with heat cycles, 4/5 heat cycles only"

cheeers

Dazza....
 

That relates to the heating up and cooling down of tyres as they are used.

Depending upon the compound of the tyre, a tyre is designed to work at an optimal (optimum!!) temperature. The softer the tyre, the higher temperature it reaches and as a result, the stickier it gets.

Certain soft tyres can only cope with getting hot and then cold again a certain few times. And generally, the softer the tyre, the fewer times it will cope with these heat cycles. )If they are harder tyres, they won't heat up a lot anyway (and provide less grip), so this is less of a problem.

If you look at slicks, these are less likely to cope with heating up and down and hence need tyre warmers to keep them from cooling down and going through this cycle.

The more durable the tyre - read harder - the less it will heat up and hence the less sticky it will get.

On Moto GP the tyres are only designed for one race anyway so as long as they heat up once, they don;t care once they're cooled down - they just bin 'em.

Did that make sense?

207RRs
 

Can't comment on the 208s but the 207s are the dogs doodahs. Switched from Dragon Evos and cannot believe the grip and feel is so much better. They warm up quick too. 2 days of the European Superbike School at Brands 16th/17th June so will report back then on track use.:biaggi:
