Anyone looking at said pictures could tell the difference between a DOT tire and a race slick. vs ![http://www.hypercycle.com/ProductImages/pirelli/Pirelli_slicks.jpg](http://www.hypercycle.com/ProductImages/pirelli/Pirelli_slicks.jpg) Riding super moto / dirt is a great way to learn how to handle the slides, they are a good way to end up on your head. ---

Yup… 2cts… even the pilot power race have a different tread, it doesnt quite run to the edges… Id run this track again with these tires again too… welllll worth it. and the tires were more than adequate to my needs, even on a 160 whp bike ---

The best tire for a non-dedicated track bike IMO. WHP has little to do with tire needs though, I could out run the tires on my SV easily before switching to a slick. Tires and suspension setup will net you more time on the track than any thing else. And new tires each track day are cheap insurance for crashes. ---

Im just talking about powering out of a turn going pretty much WOT and never losing traction… same with stopping and accelerating. I’ve been running them for 3-4 years now since they made there debut. PERFECT all around tire. ---
