I always love watching your videos and the information you provide. There isn't too many channels that focus soley on track content. So thank you and keep it up💪
Thanks Robert , this is wonderful to hear , you know comments like this really make my day, gives me so much motivation to make more videos. however, sometimes I wonder I should do a few road bits lol , after all we all started from roads ;) ... thanks for watching and appreciating
@@ChasingTenths If you want to grow your channel, doing some road content would probably be a good move. As much as I love track focused videos, it's definitely a niche area of motorcycle riding. Cheers
@@RobertPaulson87 that’s very well said Robert , I’ll definitely do some road content after this dreaded lockdown lol or at least start making similar videos on road upgrades
V02’s I find are really good, they love to be hot - very hot! and wear rate is good but they have quite a stiff carcass so the feeling is a bit different if you come from Pirelli slicks, the front feels very composed and stable for me, from a grip & braking point I love them but from a feel point not quite as much as the Pirelli. I found the medium rear wore too fast and a bit inconsistent but the soft rear is excellent and much better wearing than a Pirelli. Tyres can be very personal - strange but you get 3 guys on the same bike and they will all be running different tyres for different reasons Another great video - thanks Abhi 😀
@@100penas Fantastic tyre bud, compared to the V02 slick there's no doubting that the V02 has more upright grip, but the Dunlops hold just as well really for us mere mortals, plus they last longer, if they are good enough for the blokes at the TT they'll be good enough for me.
Valuable information thanks a lot I’ll be testing the V02 3LC today and then I’ll decide which tire I will run on my local championship since I’ve been using Pirelli SC1 past year which for the hot topical weather here comparing with Dunlop and Michelin offers better performance at fast times never try Bridgestone slicks so I have high expectations
He's epic, really helps out with important information at the race track too , everyone says so many positive things about him, thanks for watching mate
Optimal tyre pressure I have found is 36psi when hot. Generally when the tyre is cold I start from about 31psi, and adjust psi to suit the day. Ie, hot/cold weather. I found the Bridgestone recommendations to be too low.
I was speaking to a tyre guy at Donington who works in bsb tyre support and he mentioned that most guys in bsb are running 36 psi hot I started running the same pressures last year and I found the bike would turn much better , no issues with tyre surface and less effort too So you are spot on there Ian
Here in Portugal we have just 2 company that organize track days, one is sponsor by Michelin and the other by Dunlop so I never get my hands on the v02 but very curious to find out. Nice video
I will be going Dunlop video next week and then Michelin then continental then Avon’s Dunlop is a very long life tyre But I can get you more information if you need on any tyre Thank you for watching and commenting mate
@@bikerbros8693 I totally agree with you , I just spent 4 days at Andalusia circuit in Spain I was on pirellies which lasted 2 days at decent pace (2 min 5 dead) and I had a chap next to me going exactly the same pace on Dunlops you mentioned and his tyres lasted all 4 days and still had meat left … My plan is to test some Dunlops next for sure
thanks for your answer my brother my last 2 cents... we had very abrupt grip loss with the metzeler TD slicks and a harsh crash of a good friend which made us distance ourself from them. for any beginner searching a durable and cheap tire i would recommend the conti track slick in the rear. we get 3 days out of it and we aint that slow ;D@@ChasingTenths
I am sure it won't be too much of an issue sending the 180 sizes from the UK mate, Contact Bob from FWR in the description section if and when you need it. take care mate, thanks for watching
Thank you mate , much appreciate the support . Absolutely, call FWR speak to Bob Collins only , tell him you watched my video , Chasing Tenths Abhi and he will definitely do a discount for you , if he doesn’t let me know lol Cheers :)
Temperature is very subjective area that’s why I didn’t mention them in particular, so ideally, going out of the pits on a warm Day, when you take the warmers off they should be between 68 to 78 degrees And on track on a warm day You should maintain them at that level too Anything over 65 degrees while riding is a excellent temp But running temperature really depends on the ambient and track temperature plus how many red flags or yellow flags, people in the group , people holding you up , and the talent of the Rider .... let me know if you need more detail on it Thanks for watching mate And your comment

Best slicks I've used, grips like shit to a blanket, outhandles and outlasts any pirelli I've used. Only the best for my bike.
Absolutely mate
Couldn’t agree with you more
Spot on that

Great video bud! Liking the in-depth analysis. 👍🏽
Thanks mate
Much appreciated comment
Bridgestone V02r or Dunlop kr Moto2? Wich one is better for faster laps at track?
Best track tyre by far. Top job.

i love the dunlop kr as MS4, it lasts me almost 2.5 days on my zx10. way better wear for me compared to pirelli sc 3@@ChasingTenths

As informative as always great review
Thank you mate very much
Really really appreciate the feedback
Looks like the 180 sizes are not sold in Germany, 200s only at all the dealers.
I am sure it won't be too much of an issue sending the 180 sizes from the UK mate, Contact Bob from FWR in the description section if and when you need it. take care mate, thanks for watching
Awesome vid mate. Is FWR still doing discount with your name drop still?
Thank you mate , much appreciate the support . Absolutely, call FWR speak to Bob Collins only , tell him you watched my video , Chasing Tenths Abhi and he will definitely do a discount for you , if he doesn’t let me know lol

hi abhi what is the optimum running temp for vo2 190 rear med compound as wish to run some dash parameters for my heat tire sensors plz
Temperature is very subjective area that’s why I didn’t mention them in particular, so ideally, going out of the pits on a warm Day, when you take the warmers off they should be between 68 to 78 degrees
And on track on a warm day
You should maintain them at that level too
Anything over 65 degrees while riding is a excellent temp
But running temperature really depends on the ambient and track temperature plus how many red flags or yellow flags, people in the group , people holding you up , and the talent of the Rider .... let me know if you need more detail on it
Thanks for watching mate
