That is the first image I ever saw of the front. I still have no technical info.

Gotta love Michelin communication skills....

[OreoGaborio]

Yeah, I've noticed that lately... they seem to be keep ya in the dark for a while, huh I was gonna ask if you had any info, but I pretty much figured you'd tell us if you had any.

Looks like a slick with some afterthought grooves?

Is it replacing the DOT race? What is its purpose? Thanks!

Thats PURE SEX.............can u get them????

[Awesome]

I'm personally not impressed by a picture of tread pattern. It looks to me like the cross sectional lines on the surface say 'new manufacturing technique'.

I like the rolls of masking tape that are holding those suckers up.
Nice!

Don't act like you're not impressed



But yeah, those cross sectional lines resemble MotoGP tires ya see in pit row.

[Karaya One]

The cross sectional lines are indicative of a C3M tire. You can see it in the interior casing.

C3M is a process used in both street and race tires produced in France.

I wish I knew more. The rear looks like a Shinko 003, and the front pattern is like nothing we have ever seen before.

These tires on their way to us. I just have no info, pricing, etc.

I was happy to see the front image. All I have seen in the past is prototype rear photos.

Ha. That's exactly what I thought... I was like "Did they just buy Shinko?"

[Crash Dummy Denno]

Good luck with the new line of race tires Dave. (The rumors all say good things about this rubber) Should be an interesting '09 for yah!

The Power Race line is officially dead. Last of that production was in July. This is the new worldwide DOT line.

The real tires are here, baby! And they are NOT in 18" ! Only a sucker for the black and orange would race 18" wheels...

POW!

[Kurlon]

So, when can I expect my 110/140 set for testing?

Thats PURE SEX.............can u get them????

Can I borrow one of them for a night

[reiobard]

nice looking tire, looking forward to getting some specs on those bad boys!

[brewmaster]

From the picture it looks like Michelin has chosen to stay with a triangulated profile. This is interesting given that most of the other manufactures (i.e. P, D & B) have been transitioning to a less steep and gradual profile.

Interesting.....

I like that they can stand up by themselves....

The trick with race tires is trying to make a living selling them. And that is no easy feat.
