    Is a 160 rear in the works for the SV crowd? There was no mention of it on Michelin's website.

    Recommendation

    Mike, The New Power Cup is going to be the tire to have 2012, they are Fantastic, plus with an all new product you would have thought there would be a 15-20% increase in price, and that is not the case. The prices barly increased.

    Pricing

    With a all New Porduct in 2012, that has been already proven to be the fastest tire available you would think the prices would have gone up by 15-20 %, instead they barly have. its only by like 1-2%, The Cups are being shown to be a longer lasting, with better grip and feel.

    Dave can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Cups only come in V profiles.
