tire poop....cont'd
Copied from a previous post, i thought you would like to read:
-- the Michelin Cups, now have increased durability (2500 miles - this does in fact drop to 1500 with more liberal use of the throttle/tach) 2CT (dual Compound Technology in Michelin speak) - with a B compound rear (there is a choice between A, B, or C rears - A = softest/qualifier tire), and A compound front, i think if you just want the feel of grip/grip/grip you will not be disappointed....your push/shove at the bars will be a tad heavier than the stock pirelli but again.....grip/grip/grip is the buzz word for the cups -- keep in mind that a 190 cup rear will measure the same as a 200 pirelli that came on the bike stock - the front cup (i didn't measure) but the profile is more rounded than the pirelli, certainly another factor in why the feel at the bars is a tad heavier (by the way, there is a V profile front available in A compound - for a lighter/quicker input response...i haven't tried it, but it does in fact have a V shaped carcass, versus a Round shape carcass of the standard A compound)
-- while track use would warrant low pressures, in the 24/26/28psi range, i've been at 32 front 32 rear, and find it works - going up or down a few psi isn't bad, but for me, the overall balance of my weight 205lbs, bumps/pot holes/tire grip balance out well with 32/32
-- michelin also introduced last year a replacement for the street version of the power-1, called Power SuperSport 2CT+ (dual compound track day tire) - the + indicates that the more durable center compound extends under the softer shoulder compound with the intended outcome to be increased cornering stability especially under acceleration with a more durable center (for increased milage) - i just mounted these on a smaller bike, but have not had a full season with them (let alone a first ride)
-- i've gone thru 2 sets of cups (both sets with a 200 rear) and now mounted my 3rd set with a 190 rear...it is friendlier at the bars for sure.....and i may try the pirelli again as my next set...just for fun
pirelli stock super corsa 190 = 9.5" (244mm) edge to edge
michelin cup 190 = 9.5" (244mm) edge to edge
michelin cup 200 = 10.5" (266mm) edge to edge
-- i owned all 3...measured all 3....and sharing the information
