tires


that dude

I'd go roads for your lifestye.

Agreed. With Powers you'll have more grip, but it will be in places on the tire that you probably won't use. Based on my research, you'll flat spot those things in about 3 years at 1000 per year. Roads will last you MUCH longer.

I love my powers........ I live in twisty heaven down here in southern ohio and I drive a bit aggressively..... But the highway ride to work and some town driving, they have developed a bit of a flat spot. I'm convinced that if you dont get a flat spot with these tires on the street, you are one fine hair from death on every ride!

That being said, I have never had a tire that I had more confidence in. I love them and I will buy another set........ They are worth the price for the security I feel while riding.......

sure I got that track day next weekend Ill gladly take yours along too and take care of that :D

Definately go with the road tires. Longer lasting cheaper and you probably never would notice the difference anyway. Save the money and enjoy the riding you do.

I can tell the difference , bike doesnt respond and lean near as easy

I Love my powers as well, but i dont think they are needed in this case.

Im not runing the regular powers Im running the power ones
