look what happened in 10 sessions on track about 20 min per session:

It looks like its time for a new tire or choose a track with more left turns.

And the issue is?

Semper Fi! :rockon

ya??? so? every track is different to include weather conditions and how you ride. streets of williow, willow springs, chuckwalla all wore my tires on 2 diff bikes differently in the last 6 weeks.

plus, 10 session at 20min each, thats 200 min or 3+ hrs of track riding.

now you know to buy 2 rears at a time

Sticking down to the cords, sweet!!! That's quite a few laps on a big old RC-51. I'm told Willow is a lot like BIR, and both tracks are both hard on tires. The "C" spec may be the solution?

 

[DesperateSP2]

Power One's and Diablo Supercorsa's are not renown to last very long.
And if the track's very abrasive you ought to opt for a B front and a C rear...

So you wore out a tire in a day and half? Thats normal for powers. Part of the issue is you. Your not at all rolling on smoothly and pinning it at the same point every lap, wearing the tire in one spot. The throttles not a on and off switch

You could flip the tire and get more life out of it.

Why can't a Power One be flipped?

Why can't a Power One be flipped?

Michelin rep. says ...

Flipping the tire will show some tearing on the sipes as they are at the wrong angle for rear drive.

I did notice the air pressure mentioned they are using for the B rear is way over inflated. We race the A, B or C Power One's at 22 PSI

22 psi ????? in what temperature?

 

[wingnutt]

Tom sells race tires only and all the racers use warmers all the time.
