Haven't seen that tread pattern before are they for road and track, just wondering how well they would disperse the water in the wet?

I was on a friends 600 that had these tires on it, seemed to inspire some pretty good confidence. I was a little too worried about wadding up his bike to try pushing them too hard. I've been snatching up some Power Race combos, I love the way that they feel....so far the medium compound seems to be holding up well.

These will be the next hoops on the trackbike on my suspension guy's recommendation.

I'll keep you posted, hear great things about them. I'll be on the hardest race compound.

FYI: Ones and 2CT's are two different tyres. 2CT's are a road tyre with excellent characteristics for road riding. They do heat up quite quickly and have nice grooves for dispersing water.

Ones take a long time to heat up if not on warmers, and are pretty lethal in the wet, with minimal (barely legal) tread. They DO come in a road compound which is a bit better behaved in terms if heat dissipation, but you'd still have to be absolutely hammering to keep these on the boil, as they're designed with not OVERHEATING at the track in mind.

Hope this helps.
