How did that Cup rear hold out at Jennings Steve? Was it a B or C? I would love to see a pic of it....
Marc, Can't help you out there as I never mounted the tires. Took them as spares just in case. Even if I had used them I'm not that hard on the gas and rarely ever spin/slid:wheel: the rear. See ya at the track. Steve
Hey guys, newb around here, but I've had a chance to run these tires several times, and have been very impressed. Biggest difference is in the front, the tire is less "ambiguous" under hard braking than the old V, and trail braking feel is improved as well. I've run the VB a ton, and ran the VA the first time at CCS Homestead last month due to plunging temps. Can't say enough about the new front... really rocks.
How does the profile of the Power Cup VA/VB compare to the profile of the Power Slick? Is the profile of the Power Slick similar to the V-profile, or is it a more round/linear profile?
What is the break down for the cups with the compounds? I new to the whole chose your compound thing. I have a track bike no street use, run NJMP thunderbolt, VIR, NC Bike, most hope fully barber this year oneweekend. Im in I group mid-pace Thanks
which compound do you recommend for a combo of these tracks, Road A, Tally, Barber, Marc. best all around for wear, etc. do the B compounds wear well, or would C be a better choice for longer wear? you know Tally is HELL on tires! and I ain't rich!
Azzeze I would do a B Front and a C Rear... Thats what I have done on both bikes... Tally will chew up anything as you know but they are flippable....I ran a B Rear on my 1000 at NCCAR and it held up good and felt great. However I went back to a C as usual..
Profiles Great Question! when actually compairing the profiles they are not very simular in ( shape ) however, as designed, the Power Cup VA/VB and the Power Slick with their rear tire counter part have very simulair characteristics to eachother.
If your trying to get the most longevity out of your tires for multiple track days, would you choose a B Front C Rear even if the air temperatures are in the low to mid 70's? or would a B rear outlast the C rear in those temperatures? From everything I've been reading, it seems that temperatures is the biggest factor when choosing compounds. I usually run the hardest rear compound for durability, but I'm wondering if in some instances the softer compounds can actually outlast a harder compound.
i know im chiming in on an old bell here but has anyone tried both the pp3 and the q2 and which do u prefer
