ive got a 160 Michi Power One. Med compound - awesome tyre
used only at last round at manfield. heaps of tread left (im getting another one anyway so you can have mine)
$200 - (RRP $360)

also got a 120 supercorser sc1 front tyre, done wanganui, paeora and 1 race at taupo.
$100

Thanks for the offer.
A 160/60/17 - so slightly wider? Would that still be alright on a 4.5" rim I wonder?
Being slightly wider than stock fitment would create a slower tip in would it not? But then the GPR100 I have on the front has quite a soft curve to it, so they may work well togther.
Just a bit worried about the Power One being quite 'slick' like. I am hopeing to have the RGV out at the next Vic round, and with no warmers, and the 'always possibility' of a wet track, + the rider that is no-where near good enough to get the best out of a good tyre....

I'll keep it in mind, and see what else comes up.

Thanks.

slightly slower tip in, i use it on my stock zxr rims and its fine. i like it better than the 150. It has less than 5% tred so almost a slick, works fine without warmers but prbly not so good in the wet.

I have 2 supercorsas (SC), 160 width though.

One has done one race weekend and suffered a bit of cold shear but has quite a lot of tread left. The other is worn more, but still not quite down to the wear indicators.

I would like $150 for both.

I have BT090's on Trade Me - not computre literate enough to add the link but search them and you'll find them.
They're supposed to be good in the wet also.

(Remembering I haven't ridden on any of these tyres, and have no idea how good they are other than what I read.)

Thanks Deano. Supercorsas, once again - without tyre warmers, in a short sprint race on a wet track at Manfield... May not be the best idea for what I need. But if you bring them to the track, I would have a look at them.

090's may be a good tyre for me. Would probably only want the rear.
Lets talk after your auction finishes if they aren't sold.

Thanks.
Any one else?

Hey racey,

i have a GPRa10 rear 150/60/17, i purchased it before Paeroa, used it 3 times total, paeroa, one race at taupo VMCC, and the threw it on in the arvo at rnd 2 long track. :wari:

I won both F3 and Post classics races ( OUT RIGHT in PCs INFRONT OF THE 1100's ) on this rear tyre.:Punk:

it has 3.7mm on sides and 4mm in the middle left - great tyre as its an incredibly soft street based tyre - with tread to the edge. I ran them all last year on my ZXr400 with my 4.5inch rim. Very good in the wet because of the tread to the edge which pirellis and michi dont.:rockon:

used with me ohlins so good wear on it

pics added - let me know as i use them as intermediates on my bike now!! and ill get a new one if you buy this one

$150 free postage:gob:

Hmmm. Tempted.

In my mind (rightly or wrongly) GPRa10's are a similar tyre to BT090's.
I guess you used warmers on them?
What ever I get will be a compromise between dry grip and wet. Not that I'll be riding very aggressively, as this will be my first time out on the RGV in a race, and I'm really just there to have a play and compare it to other 250's in superlites.

Give me 24 hours to think about it. Will get back to you.

[neil_cb125t]

road/proddy tyres are what you'll be looking at - yes i used warmers, if you have them you use them - road tyres will warm up faster. Particulary 090's or gprs, both are a street based tyre. ( i used 090's on my vj23 RG )

you just want something that will heat up fast, with tread to the edge.

Suggest making both ends have the same "grip" if you have a sticky rear and poo front your gona ask for trouble - ive done it!!

no worries - as i said i still use mine - and will always have them as an intermediate tyre.
