Michelin Pilot Power Race
Ran the front/rear medium at VIR-N.

Wow.

Not like past michelins that had difficulty with heat and didn't want to warm up. I ran them with no warmers and found that in 76 degree weather, one lap was really all it took.

Good feel, good wear and lots o' confidence. 30-29frt and 24rear was the pressure.

PS: Got them from cal-sportbike too, great deal!

Glad to hear some feedback. I'm amazed at the low pressures they recommend. I've read that the PR's should be run at 33F/22R.

Yeah man, the pressures are crazy sounding to me, but they really work well!

Someone lied to ya man, I've had these since the beginning of the month and I am pretty sure Todd has been getting them since before then even...
