Michelin Pilot Powers - R2SL

**Anonymous** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 10:24 AM

If you have been on a set of the new Michelin Pilot Powers, you know that they simply rock!! They are also great for trackdays, and even work good as an entry level race tire.

For those of you doing R2SL in May - If you could buy sets of these tires at the event extra cheap (like say, $255 including tax and mounting) would you want to?

This thread is kind of a feeler so I know how many we need to get. Let's just say you'll be able to, but I need to know how many of you would want a set so I can make sure we have them.

This offer will be eligible for anyone who actually participates in the event, and I am quite sure you will like these tires on the track! They last a long time and stick great.

Please let me know ASAP if you're "in". You will be able to pay for them at the event.

if you had to take a guess... considering what i'm hoping to do, how many sets would i need to get??

that's a KILLER price per set!!

**Anonymous** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 10:46 AM

Probably one per day Jeff...

**Jenny** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 10:58 AM

how's about some bridgestone bt012ss's?

**Filo** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 11:59 AM

I would be into that. I have been looking for tire for R2SL and these were on the short list. Of course, they would have to have one for a 5" rear rim... Hell, I might even get two sets since I am rinding two days. Of course, doing 2:09s at PPIR might not reallly wear out tires

**green_zx7r** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 12:32 PM

I would like to get 1 or 2 sets.

My only concern is, I don't know if you have Pilot Powers that will fit CBR F3 rims (Filo, please confirm) for my FZR. I'll get the exact sizes tonight and will post back.

I am doing Michelins ONLY. If you want other brands, you're on your own to find them.

I'll predominantly have the 180 rear in stock (usual size). If you want other sizes I need to know *now* so I can make sure we can get them.

**~Barn~** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 03:23 PM

I'm in. 190 rear please.

**Mista Black** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 03:27 PM

i'll have to see what my bank (Papa-san Financial) is willing to loan me for tires. he's already fronted me a lot... i'll let ya know soon.

**Quick636** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 03:46 PM

Yeah, I was going to buy a set of those soon anyway. The standard 180 rear and 120/70 front for me...

My current tires will be cooked by the end of my session anyway.

**FZRguy** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 03:48 PM

Sure thing Ralphy boy. I need a 150x60x18 for the rear...

**Anonymous** · Wed Apr 27th, 2005, 04:05 PM

Ok guys if you need them I need to know today if possible. I know this is last minute, but as it happens the tires are becoming low on supply from Michelin so we need to scramble tomorrow to get them.

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.

Will Michelin also have this free bike tire changes at PPIR?

**Anonymous** · Thu Apr 28th, 2005, 03:30 PM

Yes! Vanmar will be there the entire event for tire changes. ("Dunlop" isn't coming, it's the local vendor Faster Cycles for them.)

**Feathered upstart!** · Thu Apr 28th, 2005, 04:18 PM

Who would put Dunlops on thier bike anyway?

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.

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!

**Anonymous** · Thu Apr 28th, 2005, 10:33 PM

Given that they have Sears Point that weekend I believe, I dount the pro guys will be anywhere near PPIR.

(That's the same reason we don't have more pro riders coming out to spin some laps in R2SL.)
