Straight from michelin north america... Sean I had the opportunity to view some the messages on your message board this morning particularly with the discussions about Power Race tires. It seems their is some confusion even in our ranks...so to set the record straight I have prepared a sheet for you to identify what tires are designed for street vs track. ( See Attachment). In Short... Pilot Power is the premier street/trackday tire, other great trackday tires are Pilot Sport Cup and Pilot H2. Power Race Soft, Power Race Medium offer very limited use on the street (20%)...these are real race tires! Most riders will go faster on these tires than the S2/M2 from last year. Power Race Medium Soft, PR1- PR5 are 100% race track due to complex compounding which do not work well on the street. This type of tire was only available last year to the very top riders. For 2005 all racers have a choice because these tires are available to everyone. I hope this helps clear up the confusion on your chat room.

Diablo Corsas rock the house, well for some anyway. :wink: BD

Lol... Just trying to clear up any confusion on these tires. Dc's are good tires...just not for me.

It seems the PR1-5 are vastly diff from Michelin DOT tires from years past in that the overall carcass construction is more supple. BD

The feedback and predictablity is also a million,zillion times better. I never liked michelins,the pilot sport was awful. The pilot power is so vastly different it's silly.

I've used both the Diablo Corsas and Pilot Powers on my 10R. The DC's are GREAT, but the Powers are absolutely INCREDIBLE. For now, the Powers are the only tire I will use.

Gotta Try Some Of Those...

Never used the DC's but I'm totally sold on the PP's. Still going back to a 180 though. The 190 just feels "lazy" to me. Slower turn in. Besides, with the 180 I use all the rear tire on the street (no chicken strips). With the 190 I've got strips. Fuggs with my pose'n points! LOL

WTF is that ya can't use a 190 edge to edge.......no fuggenwonder pesky own's your :moon: BD

sheeeeeeee- Pesky has over 7k on his front tire and still hasn't worn off the yellow stripe!!! He's straight line only.

Besides, it's b/c i get off the bike. not a lazy old fuggar sittin square in the saddle all the time!

I always ran 180's but switched back to 190's as recomended by michelin. It has more side grip for sure. I pulled my forks up 10mm to compensate.

Ouch....ball To You Bd

LOL miykl, Where having a track Day at No Problem the 28th Mon. come over and you should have no problem getting rid of thoughs CS's.LOL

hey Visla, good to hear from you again. nice photo, is that at Jennings?

+1

Found a set of the Pilot Power ( yes a set 120/70/ZR17 front & 190/50ZR17 rear) for $228 plus the $25 for shipping. Still @ a grand total of $253 it's a steal seeing the rear lists for $213 by it's self.

Hey guys... Yup,thats jennings. $253.00 shipped is what i pay for them at my cost at a bike shop.....It's a steal.
