Is my Power One front OK for track day?

[Corse1]

Not flattened off anywhere and nice and round still. 3mm in the middle. Never had one of these fitted before and it came on the bike when I bought it. Dealer service guy told me it was shot?? Track day next week so was just after some feedback.

Was he just trying to sell me a new tyre......I know these dont have tread all the way around so tell me what you think.

Nope, that's fucked.

[onearmedbandit]

Really, 3mm? Can't see it in the pic, all I see is a tyre due to be replaced. Oh and from your pic it does look flattened off in the middle.

^^What fatty and lefty said^^

Shit my front tire looked a fair bit better than that and I had a new one fitted on the weekend.

Get it replaced bud, that's fucked.

[Marmoot]

And I found Pirellis and Michelins seem to lose significant grips even before the tyres are as worn out as Bridgestones.
Expensive tyres are cheap insurance, I keep telling myself now.

[Corse1]

there we go then. The experts have spoken

[spanner spinner]

This ones stuffed, time for a new one, I have used these and even if they they have good tread the compound goes off long before they are completely worn out. Once the compounds gone off they turn into a unpredictable monster, they do good slides when they stuffed which is not so good on the front. I wouldn't use one of these I didn't know the history of.

Make sure you replace it to, save you taking someone else out when you lowside on a corner................its not all about you
(just saying)

[Corse1]

Nope, that's fucked.

Better picture

Definately 3mm in the centre two grroves and the next outer ones. Then 2.5mm in the 3rd ones from centre.

Yep managed a better pic with the rim off and ready to try one of the new S20 Bridgestones. Dont like the sound of unpredicatbility when rubber goes off

ummm... yeah well, it apairs so...

[Drew]

That is a better picture, and if I'm honest I would probably ride on that tyre.

Number of heat cycles might mean the tyre is fucked, but you'll know that when your 999 becomes less shiney.
