Tires for SV

[TheIglu]

Ok, this topic has already been beaten to death by the "here is my sponsor and here is my link you can buy from my friend" bla bla bla crap. If you post this stuff in here I'm going to mock you for it.

I'm looking for a set of tires for the SV. I already have a set of Dunlop Roadsmarts on it, this is for my second set of wheels. My go-fast ones.

Keeping that in mind, I'd like to find a set of tires that I can use for dry fun down at Deal's Gap and also at trackdays.

Any recommendations?

I think I have a set of Power Pure's or Power One's or something like that on it now. They are alright but frankly don't rustle my jimmies like Dunlops typically do.

Edit: They are Conti Race Attacks. Still way more life left in them than I remembered.....oh well. Now I have more tires and a bigger credit card bill.

Q3s just came out. Price on Q2s should drop.

I'd rather get the new generation tires. Anyone tried the Pilot Power 3's?

[nhbubba]

In to see what you buy... Pilot Powers (1's I guess) are what I used in all my what-if cost guestimates so far.

[TheIglu]

I've used 1's before, but I tend to cook them pretty quick on track. They get a bit greasy when pushed from what I remember.

So what are you saying? My what-if, back of the napkin budget for a track bike is wrong?!?
Please don't tell my wife!

[TheIglu]

So far, PP3's aren't too much more than Pilot Powers....

About $259 shipped for the both with SV sizing.

But those Q2's do look appropriate for my needs.... hmmmmm

[TheIglu]

$224 shipped to my door by Monday for the Q2's. Thanks for the idea Chicken!

Be nice to get on some new skins for my two trackdays next week, plus not have to worry about finding tires for the Deal's Gap trip.

[golden chicken]

Sure thing. You can ride my SV once I get the PP3s on. I'm hoping be next week-ish.

Q2s are awesome. I can't see buying anything else for street/track use. Well, maybe the q3s.

Thanks for that, I was a bit nervous getting them. Now I'm feeling a bit better about my purchase.

Sho'is!

Those things stuck surprisingly well last year down at Deal's. I didn't realize just how street/touring they were until I looked at Dunlops chart.

maybe when mounted backwards they become more track/race

[TheIglu]

Maybe if I mounted it correctly, but just rode backwards it would stick more track/race?

[SVRACER01]

now by "ride backwards" do you mean you on the bike backwards or ride the bike in reverse? or you on the bike backwards WHILE riding in reverse?

[Awesome]

Would that be a double negative or a triple lindy?

Yes.

You won't regret the q2's. Awesome tire for double duty.

Give Cory (Honda 102) a shot for the mounting job when U decide. U can ship them to him and he is a great guy here on NESR. Ride over with the bike & ride home smiling. Not far from you.

[TheIglu]

I have my own mounting equipment.
