I'm talking about the 003 ultra soft that's been around for years, not the new one. I'm not saying the 003 is not any good, but just pure facts its not in the same ballpark as the michelin tire.
If your looking for the best bang for your buck, that's a completely different topic.

Power Ones on ebay can't be that old, they just came out from Michelin last year.

I'm not into internet racing but I believe that zx14 has some high 5.50s, after I bought that pipe from Dubious and pulled the butterflies it woke that thing up. That thing has humbled alot of Busas in this area. Ran that 5.77 on its second pass ever at the track, staying away from the rev limiter not even knowing where the shift points were. Once I find out where the rev limit kicks in, air shifter,MR9 I know it will run those numbers. 135lbs. in shorts. All that wonderful information I got on this site help me put this bike together. I don't get to post much do to my work schedule,but Thank you. I honestly didn't know it would be that fast. That big fat heavy bike will get down!

Be careful, that price on motostrano is for the front tire. For the 190-50, you have to add +140.00 to the $162.000 price, bringing to to $302.00-----good lawd!!!!

They had them on ebay for $100... Don't know what the bids will go up to, but worth looking into. That's the power race, not power one.

How does "old rubber" hold up? Do they not last as long? Dry rot?

yeah but its that 1 time that it doesn't hook and causes a mis-shift (tire spinning) which in turn lets the other bike around you .. and causes you to lose the race .. thats when you find out old rubber suxs .. instead of saving a 100.00 bucks ...its just cost you 500.00

I think if stored properly, not in the freezing cold and not in the scorching heat, tires a few years old are probably just as good as new tires. I guess the problem with ebay tires would be that you don't know how the tires were stored....but then again I don't know where Richie, Schnitz, or Spencers stores their tires either. Never an issue for me using ebay tires.

Go ahead and spend $200-300 for the tire and I'll get the cheap one. I promise I will post up when my "old" tire spins and I miss a shift.

Correct ! Alwas check the date code on a tire though cause a tire that looks good still could be too old to be good.

.. i don't pick on nobody ..i just line up as the cards fall .. but i like redlites and mis shifts and tire spins and break-outs and tree sleeping .. when it ain't happening to me or me doing it ..
and i don't buy 300.00 rear tires .. i have an 106.00 installed shinko 003 ultra soft that i'm hoping last until the drag radial is out .. then i'll buy an 179.00 rear tire
