Are you kidding? Do you live under a rock?

Every last one I had kicking around has been scrounged. Even the ones we looked at and said "eh... these are from 2006.. they've got to be shot" have been mounted by people and successfully run. Hell I even sold the set that were on my race bike. My buddy snagged me a corded Michelin to throw on the rear for winter storage...

what are you talking about? if people know before the race weekend that they can sell the take off they'd keep it but a lot of people just get rid of them when they get new ones mounted.

Plenty of 160 sizes in Bridgestones.

And 150 and 140 if you want to match your rim size perfectly... depending on your bike.

Dunlop has been out of 160 DOT and 165 slicks for a few events now, so anything worth using has probably been used, sold, and used again by now. I'm pretty sure that is what Christian was getting at.

I hate to toss out a shameless self plug, but we currently have 160 Diablo Supercorsa DOT and 160 Diablo Superbike slicks available. However, we don't plan to bring much(if any) beyond what is preordered to the last event, so pre-ordering at www.goMTAG.com is almost a necessity if you plan on getting a tires for Round 7.

New Dunlop 160 slicks haven't been around in 3 or 4 events now. Lack of supply on new tires means that the racers who are comfortable on that tire have either squirreled their takeoffs or have looked at other brands to try.


edit: Doh! Mr. Kurtz was quicker to the draw.

dunlop is coming out with an N tech 165 slick for the SV

it will probably be available next year. the guys at Pro6 were pretty excited about them (Sandy rides a 250) so the old style may be getting phased out but who knows. i could use a dunlop 165 slick in a Medium compound. i have a bunch of 165 slicks in my shed including a couple of sets of Soft compound

I see said the blind man while pissing into the wind

We have the new 160B2 in stock if you want Michelin. Sto will have them at the last event.

The last hurrah for the Power One line as the new race DOT's, track day DOT's and slick lines are being phased in for 2012.
