Pirelli DC3's vs. Michelin?

Dahhhhh, Melka's point was if Edwards could run the tires within a few seconds of pole times, the tires definitely don't SUCK!

The fact of the matter is, you busted your ass, blamed the tires, and switched brands. How many times have we all seen this? Its always the damn tires...... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this, the tires did not cause you to crash. You caused yourself to crash. You were in control of the bike, not the tires. You yourself stated they started feeling "GREASY" and were sliding around. That's called a CLUE my friend. Time to back it down a bit. You didn't and the result was a crash. So again, without taking into consideration of the incorrect tire pressures, did the tires cause the crash or did you?

 

OK and again I never said they started to slide I said the bt-002rs and the 16 start to slide not the 2ct I think you should read it again and I also said that the 2ct gives you no warning they just let go with no slide and they dont let you know when they are getting to there limit that is what I said

 

This is what I read, where you not referring to the 2CT's?????? I'm sorry, I assumed that when you stated "GREASY" they were moving/sliding around on you. After all, that is what "GREASY" feels like, isn't it? Greasy is called feel, a clue, your pushing the tires capabilities, back it down or your going to bust your ass..... That's my point.

 

not-worth-it. You can't please everyone all the time. Let him move on to another tire. (and then another, and another.. ). Maybe the next set he will try 40psi cold on the rear tire. 36? Glad Mike (VRC) got that sorted.
Just a word to all the readers, SIX PSI OVER the recomended psi is bad if your looking for optimal grip not so much optimal wear. 34-36 may be good for touring. There are lots of good tires out there other than Michelin (but they are the best.. insert smiley) . Each has different characteristics and perhaps Michelin wasn't for him BUT ya gotta at least give em a fighting chance being somewhere in the ballpark on presures..

 

whatever I guess are tire guy down here doesnt know anything and when they do get greasy you do feel it when you are sliding on your ass there is no they start to get greasy its when they get greasy even a little bit they just let go there is no sliding they are sticking and the next second you are on your ass

 

and where did vrc get the pressures from a guy that he knows, that doesnt know a dam thing. You guys blow my mind you have no resources to back your shit up just keep talking and thinking your right it is fun. It just makes me laugh any tire can do anything I heard that ben spies was on the pilot roads and was running almost race pace times on them. I bet that is the next one that is coming and I bet he was running the rear at 13 psi

 

And I no longer ride the street so I wont have the need to go from tire to tire I love my conti's because they dont suck ass

 

And I had two guys come on here and back me up on the tire pressures, u guys just know some guy?????????????????/

 

I am done with this thread

 

BYE BYE!

 

It's bat shit insane stories like this that keep me from trying Michelins. Thank god there are not only better tires ou there but cheaper ones as well!

 

thank you, he has heard all the stoires to because it is true they suck dont try them

 

I would go with the Tomahawks - the red ones. The Pirellis and Michelins are junk compared to those. You heard it here first.

 

I heard the yellow Tomahawks were faster Now you have me all confused Ed!

 

You like bat shit insane stories, heres a quote from a guy that doesnt like the Michelin Pilot Power 2ct.

Track Wagon "You know when a tire is over heating because it melts not because the rebound is bad or the suspension is set up wrong all that was set and worked great with all the other tires but the 2 ct then you are gonna say well maybe the set up wasnt for those tires well they are street tires, I dont think it matters a whole lot just my 2 cents ".


Ya, i would listen to this guy about tires..

Heres a Tip: If you wanna be cheap..Tires is not a good place to start.

 

It's really whatever matches the bike best Greg, that lends itself to the fastest laptimes. The tires know ...

 

Yeah, stick with the cheaper one's.....that's the ticket. I guess if your not winning on the cheaper tires, then contingency money doesn't matter either. There may be better tires out there, but I had absolutely no problem winning races last season on The Michelin Power Ones and because of their fantastic contingency program, only had to shell out money for three sets of tires ALL SEASON LONG. Yeah, I'll be sticking with Michelin again next year. :up:

 

The proof has always been in the results...look at what the class champions ran last year. I think You will see mr bib more than once.
