I bought tibs set of power races and actually like them a lot. Still think I like the pirelli's better but overall these have done great. I have not had any grip issues and they were solid even at the 100 degree Summit Point day earlier this month. I have 2 days on them and should def get at least 1-2 more days (2 might be pushing it). They are wearing well and will need replaced for low tread instead of mutilation like my last few sets. I think I finally worked out a bunch of my rear suspension problems. STT tire service has a power one front and a power race rear for $235 a set. At that price I'll be running them until they don't sell those anymore. The only negative I don't like about them is you set the pressures cold. That just seems so backwards to me, but that is what they recommend. Guess I shouldn't complain since I haven't had an issue now. If I get 2 days at NJMP out of them, I'll be thrilled. |

you can chose from the medium soft, PRD or PRE..whatever those are. fronts are B which is a medium soft i believe |

Pat and I have run the Power Race's and like them a lot. We've run both the V and B front and Soft and Med / Soft rear. I like the V front more than the B, but they're both good. We'd blow through one side of a soft rear in one day at CMP, flip it, and blow through the other side the next day. The Med / Softs wear much better. |

Make sure if you are going to buy from STT you go to the Monthly Special section. Same items seemed to be priced differently between the specials and the tire combos. Power One 120/70 "A" Soft & Power Race 180/55 Medium Soft $235.00 Power One 120/70 Med Soft "B" & Power Race 180/55 Med Soft $235.00 |
