  1. All and all it is best to have proper technique and newer tires. I will continue to buy the Pilot Powers they really hold up well for me, maybe down the line I will be more aggressive at the track and want another tire, but for now these are great for street and track. It gives you a good feeling when you know your tires are new.
  2. When I head out at the beginnign of each and EVERY session I take it easy one to get the heat back in the tire ( looking at tire warmers now) and two to see how the track may have changed....like someone going off and little gravel or the heat of the day getting groove slick. I noticed some people are balls to the wall every session where I look at each session and try to better myself with proper BP and Throttle control. Doesn't pay to blow out turn 1 and loose it in 2. I can still beat the squid who thinks he's fast down the straight but looses it in the corner having to wait 4 ever to pick up the throttle from coming in 2 HOT. Anyone can hold the throttle wide open, there is alot of driftwood at some trackdays, but still the best time I have ever had.
  3. Well the only reason is I count the trackdays is because at most they require to have 75% to new tires on your bike. I did get 4 out of this set and still have alot of tire left just not enough for another track day. I had run the 2ct's once...and thats enough for me...I felt as if I wasnt using them correctly riding on the street and my center wore out quickly. The trackday I had with them was great, but I got the same feel and alot more road time out of the Pilot Powers. Beings the 2ct's are alot softer on the sides I will continue to buy Pilot Powers. I know track condition and weather has alot to do with your pressure selection. I live in WI not always sunny and 80 degrees here.
  4. I have a picture of my tire after a few sessions at Blackhawk Iam unable to post pictures here I guess it says error when I try to insert picture so here is the link @ photobucket http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p260/mu...k_5150/tire.jpg here is me 2nd trackday http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p260/mu...5150/DRcopy.jpg local closed riding area http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p260/murdock_5150/1.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p260/murdock_5150/2.jpg any way sorry for the links instead of actual pics I will have to learn this site better. any critisism is welcome. I love the stories here on BP and Throttle control. I truely love carving those twistys. Thanks again
  5. Hello Forum, I just wanted to drop a line and Thank you all for the great information you all give up on this site. It has become one of my Favs. I can find almost anything about my bike and what not. I do have one question probably a easy one but my tires Pilot Powers after a run at the track orange peel alot and become very sticky...which is good It makes me feel more confident, but does lowering the air pressure and putting the heat cycles through the tires hurt them. I do ride the street with them and went to 2 trackdays, but pretty much wore out now. I guess Iam being picky considering some people at the track were changing after 1/2 a day. The tracks that I went to had instructors that told me to lower to 29lbs in rear and 30 in front. I have read that this is pretty typical beings your pressure comes up with heat/speed. Thanks again for the info
