Need to purchase used 180's Michelin Power One
 

Would like to purchase a few of these used tires to run at a drag strip -
Used once or twice

Thanks

Just a suggestion. You might want to go to a track day or AMA road race. Walk through the pits and check out the tire trailers who spoon the rubber for the riders/teams. Sometimes you can get lucky with the used tire stacks they have sitting around. Saves them having to haul stuff, if they can sell to you (behind the trailer).

Ones take a long time to heat up if not on warmers and are pretty lethal in the wet, with minimal (barely legal) tread...

Hey Odi---key words: "used tires to run at a drag strip" :)

They'll probably see more bleach than rain....

Parallel thread....also in "General Discussion."

(BTW, just messing with you, Odi.) ;)

you're right about the tear offs...I don't think he'll find the Michelin Power One's yet...too new of a tire and probably not going to be sticky eanough...
