grapesmuggler27 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 This depends on how long they last. If I can get 2 more days on the pures vs Q2s they are close in price.Craig likes it when a rubber makes you last longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just curious whats the advantage/disadvantage between a 190 and 180 rear?Higher corner speed, you want a 190 for side grip. Average rider speed, if the bike was stock with a 180, that will be perfect. However, certain race tires do not come in 180 anymore...My opinion echoes a few on here. Pures or Q2s. Q2s are what we run at the Race Orange stuff and I can run 35s on them with a good setup at Mid-Ohio comfortably. They will get greasy by afternoon at that pace, but the idea is that they are predictable and feel great.Q2 is my opinion simply due to the fact that I haven't ran the Pures a whole lot... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Tires are a crap shoot. Try a few different brands and see what you like. They all have a different profile to them and all feel different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jat42 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Q2's used them on my street and track bike great tires and they are usually the cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 He has ran 31's during a race there.29 actually... In a qualifying session. The 31 was on the RC8 also, I believe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 And that WAS comfortable as Evans never pressured me even though he tells everyone that he beat me because he ran a faster lap during the race... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Moses gave him his first tow!!!!!BRUTAL!!! I'm old. Put it this way - I am over 3 TIMES older than Jake Lewis!!! But, I have had so many awesome moments such as watching Jake and racing against him. He is going to be an awesome guy (Think Ben SPies, Hayden, etc) as long as he stays healthy.Also, I actually have raced against Nicky and Ben!! Damn, I am old...

Moto-Brian Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Damn man you've raced against nicky hayden?Well, let's say I shared the track with them. Nicky when he raced WERA and actually also when he raced AMA (I was a backmarker of course) and Benny when he raced WERA also. I've been passed by some of the best!! Hayden, BBoz, Crevier, Kipp, etc., etc... I'm old, dude. old. Been doing this since 94... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
