Title: Michelin 1200/1800 Slicks
Post by: GSKirk on June 14, 2007, 06:29:15 PM
Michelin 1200/1800 Slicks?
Has anyone run these?  If so......opinions?

Traction/durability?

thanks,

awesome tires imo
I've ran them at Heartland Park, Barber, and Mid Amreica

longevity isn't as good as Power Races imo but the traction and turn in is out of sight.

I did have to turn up my steering damper for the straights though

I love em.  Traction is top notch and they seem to be holding up rather well.  Only prob is the taller profile that they have.  I had to move the front fender on my r6 up a little cuz it was too tight to get the tire sox tire warmer on.

FYI: Michelin slicks are my only slicks experience but I agree with having to dial up the damper
