Just dont ride hard in the rain!

Can you get race scrubbed SP's mate? Take it the SV's fast enough to get them to a working temperature - it's just if the rider is!

How do they compare to the storm? (I'm aware they're a completely different tyre)

At the race weekends. Usually Lunchtime on Sunday there's a rush of them going outside the awnings as everyone changes for the last races. I can't remember the last race meeting (participating or spectating) without coming home with tyres

Last time I was as east Fortune there was a guy selling three NEW michelin Power race 160 rears for £75.

Can't go wrong at the club meetings

Or Ebay

Don't get fixated on Supercorsas. The Dunlop GP Racer is fantastic too!

I'll also have them coming off the Minitwin at regular intervals too!

Dave, They are completely different to the Storms. They tip in quicker and have more grip than you can use. I used to call them uncrashable tyres on the SV You can be as ham fisted as you like and the rear doesn't even twitch...

... Unless its wet. You have to ride like a girly girl in the wet. and not in a Jenny Tinmouth way either
