Never Forgotten
I finally have a little time on a new set of Powers. First off, I am no tire expert but I have used quite a few since 99 on my Busa.
The Powers have a V shaped profile that will take a little getting used too if you are switching from a street tire. Coming off a set of Michelin H2 race tires I was right at home.
The 1st thing, these tires warm up faster than any street tire I have used. On the ride to the Gap from Robbinsville, they felt ready to go after just a few corners.
On Friday when I made my 1st run thru the Gap, I took it sorta easy to see how they would react. The side to side transition was almost equal to the H's and far better than any of the other street tires I have used. The Powers felt really good.
On Saturday I picked up the pace and by Sunday I was running real close to the pace I do with race rubber. I will problally switch back to the H2 in warmer weather and keep the Powers close by for cooler temps.
As for wear, I have about 400 miles or so. Not much to give a good measure off wear. I will be heading back to the Gap next weekend for a little more spirited riding.
For the majority of riders, I feel the Power will offer what you are looking for.....
