Where are the best prices for tires these days (Michelin Power Races)? I'm looking for both internet and local (STL) sellers.
Thanks,
Chris
If you're racing, get them from your trackside vendor.
;)
West Coast pricing is $300 a set for Medium's, $340.00 for Soft front/Medium soft rear, and $350 for the PR series.
EAST COAST $295 med power race all PRs $330.00 rains sometimes $330.00-360.00 installed
Buy them from your race track distributor, because the other tires are different than what is available from your race tire distributor.
Additionally, when changes are made to the tires, which happens regularly, you'll have the newest contours, carcasses, and compounds.

This is a track day, and I can't get an answer as to wether or not a vendor will be there.
gateway... no vendor

Chris,
Last I looked Donelson's actually had pretty good prices on the Pilot Powers.
Not sure if Tom Mason (racetrack distributer) will mail them to you or not. You might want to give him a call. He only deals in Michelins though. Just look up Mason racing tires on yahoo, that should get you pretty close.
Good luck.
If they have the day, I'll probably come out and watch. Not much sense in wasting money on a track we're not racing on anymore and the wear and tear on my bike and bank account.
Here's Tom's site:

Thanks scott, but don't be a sissy....I need someone fast to follow around the track. :) (maybe not follow, exactly......but I will be behind you!)
Chris
sounds like things are steering in the right direction for GW... more to come!

LOL, there will be plenty of fast guys there I'm sure. Many faster than me. Speedballer will probably be there on his stunter bike :o
Quit playing around. Get your license and come racing.
I'm going to Gingerman at the end of the month. I'll haul your bike up there for you. Racing is about 100X more fun than a track day.
If I were to buy tires, Tom is the man to see. Great guy and great service. BTW, thanks for the link to the site Dawn.
I hope Speedballer is there...my brother wants me to repo his gloves from him :)
Whaddaya mean playing around??? I've only riden that HONDA once in two years!!! I'll see how the track day goes, but I might take you up on that offer to go up to Gingerman......
Thanks for the link to Tom, but I'm having trouble finding contact info on his site!
Chris
Oops..i found the number :-[

LOL, you'll be hooked in no time! Racing is about 100X more fun (IMO) than a track day...
Yep, I still have a space on the trailer. Not heading up until Saturday morning though, so that would rule out the racing school or track day.
Have you already taken the racing school?
Yes, myself Kyle and Keith took LCR a couple of years ago (Keith crashed out on his RC51 during the final mock race).
I don't know about racing you fools though, I think I might just be a speed bump on somebody's road to victory. But I need to get out there and try it once. How long is the trip up there?
Chris
PS. I got a set of Michelin Power Race (med), I only went out for one session on them, but damn did they feel good. Thanks for the advice!

Looks to be about 6 to 6.5 hours with a 2.5 year old! :)
