pilot powers work good for me.

1.46's around EC, Blackies left right and center...
rear


front

Bridgees only for this puppy but I haven't had much of a chance to shread em in the dry yet ... waiting till next month!

Went to the shop last week to get a new set of 002's but they were out of stock

So i got a set of Corsa III's instead

I like them so far

Wattie, I really like the look of your Power's thats the way they should be treated!!

Nice!!

Unfortunately they dont make them in 190/55's and 55's rule

The Corsa III's i've got on the bike now, have done 3 track days ( 1PI & 2 EC ) and 3000 kms and they look like they have another 3000 to go.

what can i say? i just love the powers

190/50, the diff is negligible Ive been told, bump the rear up 5mm if it really bothers.

I love pilot powers, however I am moving to a pilot power front and pilot road2 rear..certain hooligans I know rate the road2's as well as the powers on the back...

320 psi .... you need a truck tyre pump OK .... now fark off to Bali ....

Nah.. its just that I got told there is max about 5mm diff in ride height is all between them, but with the difference in profiles between the manufacturers they are actually both really close anyways ?

I still cant imagine a difference big enough to feel ??

Taken the Crim out a coupla times this week, i must say except for the front one going out of round & "Pattering" I'm quite fond of the "Pilot Races" Problem with the crim is by the time I've used to it the rear one is "compAAAAletely fugged" so I guess I'll be heading down to the Tyre cave with my lunch box & a "pletherer of Poor people" jokes in the near future

the pilot power front tends to scollop too. bastard thing.

its also getting the BMW'esque flatspot across the top of the tyre from commuting

the rear i mannage to destroy the sides about even with the middle

Its all about the contact patch.. on a 190/55 or even better a 190/60 you get a bigger contact patch when at full lean.

madkaw had 195/60 or some shitters on his 10 when he got it, they sucked ass, bike handles like a 12.

just put a 190/50 on it ya softcock
