[DJB]

Any one used them. Any good?

[al-super3]

As good as weathermans imo

I fitted one on the rear when i could not get weathermans it has lasted a bit longer to, 100 90 10 on wide af rims

Hope this helps

I fitted one on the back about a thousand miles ago (S1 still on the front), it still has a lot of mileage on it. I don't corner particularly hard but it has never given me a moments worry. I'll use up my S1's on the front (although I think they are twitchy) and buy Powertracks as and when needed in future. It's 100/90/10 on standard rims.

100-90-10 on af wide rim didnt work for me al now are curry burner clutch arms a bit longer as mine was too too close to the tyre

we don't advise using 100/90 tyres on wide rims, you can use a 3.50 on a wide rim or a 100/90 on a standard rim but you should be very careful using 100/90 on wide rims, remember the tyre expands when it gets warm!

i have been using the power tracks for a few years, they are a good compromise between traditional block tread looks and modern performance so looked the part on my s1 street sleeper.

its hard to compare tyres but i think they perform well and its in the wet where i lose my nerve and they seem good enough here too.

they do ok flat too as the side walls are quite strong, i had a flat at about 50 and they let me roll to a stop and kept the shape ok to the point that i didnt notice it was flat and suspected a right hand engine mount failure

why any one would be still be buying floppy old s83s when these kinda things are out the i have no idea

Will these ever have a higher speed rating i.e 93mph not 75mph

no these will always stay at this speed rating.

100/90 are too close on ScootRS tubeless V2 and V3 rims too IMO, I've tried Continental Navigator and Weatherman, although some have fitted them and are happy, not for me.

Mouse, do you know when Weatherman 3.50 x 10 without whitewalls are coming?

The 3.50x10 black weatherman have only just gone out for testing, so we are waiting for the results, going to be a while yet as the guinea pigs are going to have to get a couple of thousand miles on them!
