Treaded Tyres for the track...

[Devilish]

Need to get some tyres that will do Rain/Hail/Shine riding for PI and also EC eventually as I am sick of sittin on the sidelines when it rains. I want to get out there..

Thinking Ractecs as I used to use them... of the new M5 Metzelers...

Has anyone got a good treaded tyre they use? Has anyone has any experience with the Michelin Power Pure???? :thinking:

Any other good tyre for all round track riding??

Am doing 2 Superbike schools and 2 trackdays at PI and I don't want to miss a minute of tracktime if it rains :)

used pirelli diablo corsa iii when i had my road bike on the track.. found they were pretty good in the wet and dry. think they have now been replaced by diablo rosso or something like that

buy some spare wheels and get some wets

Spare wheels might be prohibitively expensive for the orange bike, can't say I've seen too many around the wreckers. Unlike those green bikes that are just so common... :p

yeh marchesinis and marvics are common as house bricks

Race tracks plus wet = slippery in any circumstance bar using wets, even then there are limits.

Maybe try some of Whiteys intermediates, cheap all rounder option, i payed $260 fitted,
i think there around the $300 mark now.

spare set of wheels aint gonna happen in the next few months... too much $$$ hence I am just swapping to a treaded tyre..

Anybody used the michelin pilot pure??

Anybody used the michelin pilot pure??
No not the pure but i used to use power race few yrs ago (very good) which is equivalent to the pure i have always liked michelin tyres!

Zeno Swears by the Pure's.

And if they are a improved version of the Pilot power, than they would be awesome.

Pilot power is the best sports tyre ever!!

haha - yes, I like Michelin's these last 10 years..

Hated them back in the 80's and a large part of the 90's; but there were reasons for that, largely falling off when I made crap decisions at high angles of lean - so basically my fault! :dohsmiley:

The latest Power, the Pure is pretty good; but I think a few people will try and let the air out too much and then not get on with them.

I would be interested to see how the fork goes with them Special K, but mine being curious is not enough that you should buy 'em!

So far I have found my wear to be pretty good with them on the street & have found they worked well at "the farm" too; but it should be added that I am using TTX as well as a 30mm front end on a CBR600, so expect geometrical and stress differences... oh and they worked very very well on a wet Putty yesterday!

Thanks Jim :)

After this year I will get a second set of rims... come on ebay! bring me a bargain!!! haha

[jasonbw]

Jim, how can you say you hated the hi sports :D Revelation that they were!

Pilot Powers rock, can't go wrong there for mortal laptimes, the pures sound interesting for sure.
