    One of the endurance lads suggested them at the weekend. Has anyone used them on track? Noticed quite a few lads on them in the motogrande

    Im currently using either racetec or supercorsa scrubs. Seen a lot of lads on power ones/cups at the weekend. I can get a set of power ones new for £200. That's nearly £100 cheaper than the pirellis and metzelers. I am allowed slicks yes. I wouldn't mind trying a brand new set of tyres to see the difference. Only ever used scrubs on track that are years old!!!

    I've been using the bridgestone slicks last year, the V01's great tyres and last ages. I'm paying about 225£ a set. I'm on the V02's this year as they zre the 200 rear tyre. I've been on slicks for 4 years now, best change I've ever done.

    metzeler slicks are good as well. I reckon the pirelli are the best, cost more than 100£ more, so the bridgestones will do for me :)

    Gone for the power cups, heard mixed reviews but you don't know for yourself until you try them.
