Power Race? Has anybody tried these yet? Tyre bloke where I get mine was telling me how great they are but wanted to see if anyone had any feedback from use on a Duc. Will be needing some new tyres after a few track days and contemplating a change as the deal being offered is very good. |
Michelins ????? I wouldn't .... |
i think its a bit to soon to get much feedback about the power race i have tried the power and was impresed would be more than happy to use the race version |
Not sure about power race, but I used Pilot Race 2 on CBR600 last year. Great once they're warm, **** when they're not! As long as you're careful and warm them up(ie not too much throttle on a cold roundabout!) they're good. [Edited on 16-3-2005 by MaccLad] |
I use the old Pilot Race Soft on my Gilera Saturno-take a while to warm up but grip like a very grippy thing. Not much good at this time of year or in the rain-but then again something resembling a cut slick won't give much wet grip................ Spoke to Luke Plummer(Ducati UK) who had tested the new Pilot Power race and reckoned they were very grippy-couldn't get them to slide at all. Not all of us have a blind spot when it comes to Michelin. John |
Michelins...I definitely would, in fact, I have. Last years' Race 2s were absolutely ace. This years race tyres by all accounts are even better. If I didn't already had my allotment of tyres for the year, these are what I would be getting. Mind you, even though they are technically road legal, I wouldn't dream of using them on the road. Once properly warm, which they won't on the road, they are super, super sticky. The lean angles are outrageous. |
OK, mixed replies..... Freak doesn't like Michelins either, but I have not had any experience with them. They sound like a good tyre from the reports, but how much is marketing hype? I think I will wait for a few more people to test them as I will be using them on road and track. |
