Do you carry all three compounds

The tires advertised here are the Power One Commercial and available in a single compound matrix and carcass per size (all are 2CT).

You are talking about the Power One Competition Model if you are asking for "all three compounds".

The Power One COMPETITION denoted by A, B or C compounds on rears and A, B and Z on fronts are Distributed EXCLUSIVELY via three Michelin National Race Tire Distributors (of which I happen to be one) and their trackside service providers (the guys who service you at the races!).

You should contact a Michelin Track Side Tire Professional for these tires. Please note that the competition models are temperature/condition specific and the fronts come in (2) different profiles.

If you need a referal to a Michelin Trackside Professional shoot me a PM with your location and I'll give your local contact info.

If we are speaking about the Power One Commercial, NO they are not needed. However, should you desire to go "hammer down" on lap one, you are welcome to use a warmer for 30 minutes at 170-175 to pre-heat the tire and it will have no ill effects.

The rubber compound on the Power One Commercial is different that the full-on race Power One Competition and so is the carcass construction. It is designed to warm up fast and to accept repeated heat cycles with minimal loss of performance.

The Power One is indeed the replacement for the Power Race as there are no more Power Race being made. The Power Race (both the commercial and "PR" series) have been replaced by the Power One "Commercial" and Power One "Competition" series.

You will notice that the Power Race remain active part numbers with many distributors and retailers (including the author) for a period of time until they're all gone. We went very deep in the Power Race when they were offered to as closeouts (we were able to negotiate a good deal on several thousand of them) as they are still an excellent choice and great value for many riders.

heyzus!!!! Ive never seen so much mis-information in such few posts in one thread. I normally give you trouble Monte, but thanks for keeping potential Michelin men in the know.


And for the love of god (which ever you prefer), vendors/retailers, please learn about the product you are selling, list it with any and all information available (including its NAME), and talk to the race tire guys before you comment on the race tires. Chances are, the info you had 6 months ago is now long outdated. I hate when I hear from an upset trackday/racer who tried the wrong/old/wrong application tire and only had problems (and now rides on dif. tires) beacuse the vendor didnt communicate all of the information.


rant over, Michelin rocks!
