rodm850g Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Keny, There is a new Michelin coming out to replace the power and the power 2ct.....I hope B/Stone did a re-mix of the 021 front compound....a tire I like but not its longevity.....and by these new improvements and obsolescence....there should be some good deals floating around ...like a power front for my VFR for 82.USDand a rear for $120....I'm feeling better now....

melvis Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 And Pirelli has a new ST tire called the Angel - s'posed to be better and grippier than the Diablo Strada... so many tires, so little money! :warranty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Wow, really interested to see the new Bridgestone. I liked the 021s i had on the VFR and i have now the OEM 020s on the FZ6 which i was planning on replacing with PR2. The 023's front tread pattern does seem simliar to the PR2 pattern, hopefully the front is now also a dual compound tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Thanks for the info above on the new tires, guys. I probably have enough on hand at home to get me through 2010 already, but when those are gone I'll look into the new models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer johnmark101 Posted January 25, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted January 25, 2010 There are some really good deals out there on Michelin's now. I picked up a set of 2CT's for $235 shipped. Not a tire I would normally use on the VFR, but it was a good price for a tire with excellent grip. Both Pirelli and Michelin are coming out with new sport tires this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4 Rosso Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The BT021 is has been available for what, two years? Hmmmm, maybe have to wait for some test results of the new rubbers before getting Pirellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted January 25, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted January 25, 2010 Thanks for the post. I have to pull the trigger and it looks like the Angel ST is the newest tire available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marid2apterbilt Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I plan to order several sets of Pilot powers for the street and try out a set of the Power pure on the track and street, I will let you know how I like the new Power pure tires. There supposed to be between a Power one and 2ct in performance so im hoping they do pretty good for both street and track applications.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think that i`ll try the Metz M5 tires next on my RC36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
