15,000kms on michlin powers

[Cajun]

Toast - if you read the information about powers, they run the dual compound. hard center soft sides.

speedmedic - i will nana you boy

[Lou Girardin]

Do you mean that it has a different compound for the sides and middle? I didn't think that this was so for the Powers, only for the new Pilot Race series...?

Pilot Powers are awesome tyres though. My personal fave

Good point, the importers blurb only mentions dual compound on the Power Race model. We certainly can't do Power Race sets for under $550.

never knew they had dual compound.... might have to try them for my next set....

I agree Lou. I think only the Pilot Races are dual compound.

Looks like they have expanded into dual compounds after-all.

Yes i will be trying those after my pilot races die


I am sure some of the older material i had on the normal powers said they were dual compound.

No matter they got a dual one now. so should be even better

Was going to go powers, but i've scored a deal to try out the new Metzeler Sportec M3's. Just got them on the bike so will post a review soon.

Due for a complete set of rubbers in <1000Ks. Was thinking Sportec M1's but would like to hear what the M3's are like ?

Has anyone tried these or know of anyone that has? Recently converted to PP's and although a highly impressive tyre the rear is being spat out the back due to some above average acceleration from the back of my scooter

On a slightly different note I also have been trying out a 180 instead of a 190. Excellent responsive turning etc but have found myself riding off the side of them which surely ain't part of the plan. I'm concidering a 190 next time and was wondering what others experiences where when swapping back...
Cheers

Now i am waiting for the rear pilot race to die before i put on a 2ct, but saying that i don't think they are even in the country as of yet.

[Bren_chch]

Sorry... I thought this was a thread about sniper!

[SPman]

Put a set of PP's on the SP, but only did a 1000k , afore disposing of said bike to Frosty, thence on to Mental Trousers.
Great tyre for the coromandel.......

Yup have been great on the VTR1000, sharpened up the slow steering a bit and very fast to warm up. I had Diablos a while ago they were a bit skittery when cold. These are great. Agree on the high for sports tires mileage too. They seem to let me know exactly whats hapening, happy to roll on while tipped over with these puppies. Coming up for my third set - not intending to change to anything else.
