    Michelin is not paying in 2015. Believe me - it has been a topic in every Michelin race tire distributor meeting the last two years.

    Just this season. You only get one free front with the rear.

    Re: Michelin Power EVO Challenge is at LRRS

    And now some news - Michelin has cancelled this program until 2016. They are running out of supply and have asked race distributors to hold until 2016.

    Motorace will be at LRRS for Weds till Sunday for the weekends race events, and Sto will be honoring commitments to this program from the last event. But Michelin asks that no more be taken until 2016.

    thx dave

    This program will be active in 2016. 5500 tires will be at the warehouse shortly.

    Shipments start next week.

    Re: Michelin Power EVO Challenge is at LRRS

    We have asked for 110/70-17, 140/70-17, 150/60-17 and 160/60-17 in DOT race tires.

    KTM 390's, Ninja 300, R3's, etc.

    Michelin knows we want them, the issue is will they build them. Only they know.

    Sorry.

    Michelin needs to start a contingency program. Not having one is a show stopper for sure.

    What does Pirelli's lack of payouts have to do with Michelin's lack of payouts?

    I don't believe it has hurt as much as people would think. Michelin in 2015 had an excellent year with venders looking for more tires. The new tires have been very well received.

    There was many, many issues with the contingency program in the past. The trackside vender is now given some leeway in how they choose to deal with their particular region.

    This was tough, but worked through. 2016 will see the Buy One, Get One Free program in full effect. We have a full supply of rubber.

    In the perfect world, everyone would be a race track vender and makes piles and piles of money.

    The only 160 Michelin suitable for fastguy racing is the Power Supermotard 160/60-17.

    Michelin does not make the trackday suitable tire like the Supersport EVO in 160 anymore.

    The closest you would get is the Power 3 160/60-17.

    I am interested in what you are able to offer. Please send info or perhaps I could send you my contact info to discuss options, if any.

    available if we already made the switch?

    I switched last year and love the slicks. haven't tried the DOTs but I imagine they're much of the same awesomeness.

    If you did not try the EVO DOT program, you are eligible. We only processed a couple before Michelin stopped it.

    This program is TRACKSIDE ONLY. Go see Sto, fill out the paperwork and you get your tires mounted on the spot.

    awesome. I already beat my previous best 3 year old lap time after switching. I hope to beat it down some more next year.
