Michelin Pilot Powers - R2SL

[Mista Black]

Probably one per day Jeff...

One set per day on that 500lb+ bike at the pace he needs to go to hit his goal seems a little optimistic to me.

but i'm a kinder gentler rider... you've ridden with me... you know that

I'm down.

[~Barn~]

I'm in. 190 rear please.

190?!?!?? God you must hate to turn... Get a 180 you'll be happier.

Nah, I enjoy the ocassional turn. I just want to stick with OE spec stuff, since I'm not in this event for any competitive reasons.

I know 180's provide an easier transition, and in-turn faster lap times, in the hands of people much faster than you and me; But a 190 has a bigger (more dispursed) contact patch, and I like the increased mileage it affords me.

Is this deal still available?

Ok, here's the current status on this thing...

- Only 180 rears will be available. Sorry, it's too hard to get odd sizes this late in the game.
- We ordered 12 sets.
- We are still waiting for confirmation that these tires will be in stock at R2SL. We think they will be, but I should know for sure by this time tomorrow.

Is this $225 for the medium set? Or the PR-2 Pr-5 set?

I am definetly down for at least 1 set either way. 6 if it is the PR sets.

Dunlop will be there the entire week of R2SL, and will be do switches back and forth from race tires to street tires etc; whatever is needed. The new 209 (sportmax) front rears, US GPA all will be available.

They will be doing FREE on bike tire changes with a new tire purchase for those that dont know or need help doing the change during the event.

Stop hijacking my thread beotch! :P

hahahah

Actually! DUNLOP may be there, we might be able to get some pro dunlop guys out to lend a hand since its a week before a national (small chance, but its in the cards)... besides you yelled at me last time I said Faster! hahaha :P lol so there!

All right Dunlop Spam! Can we get a discount on a vacation get away or ink cartriges with that?

These are the Pilot Power high-end street/track tires, not the Power Race DOT's. (You're on crack if you think I can sell race DOT's for $225/set!) However for R2SL use (or even some racing), they are great!!

I dunno, but I bet they'll knock 3 seconds off your laptime and keep you from crashing.

I guess I am on crack sorry. But $225 is a great street price.

As for which Newby is better: Newby ("That would not happen on Dunlop") or Newby Jr, ("The hourly update from Faster is they are eating lunch, while still offering Dunlops to racers"), is kinda of a tough one.

On the one hand Newby Jr, does not make retarded startements like Sr. On the other hand the concpept of letting the tires sell themselfs, has totaly missed Jr. I dunno Ralf, what do you think?

I dunno ... I'm a Michelin guy!

Okay. I guess a 180 it is. No biggie.

And also, is the total price $225 now, or still $255 as stated in your first post? (Ralph.)

255. Misquotes from other people will not get you a discount.
