  • What rubber do you run on the race track? How about compound and pressure? Ask this question on a bike forum, and you'll likely get a hundred different answers.

Smash that play button to see what Oscar had to say about choosing the right tire and how to recognize what tire wear is telling you about bike set up.

    Which tire you say? The one with the rainbow hue for the extra sticky.

    He lost me when discussing over heating tyres at Phillip Island. As a spectator you are less likely to over heat than have to fight off the penguins. It is f in cold facing Antarctica. Great track, but bring your bike gear even if you don't bring your bike!

    What’s even the point of a Metzeler track tyre when you have Pirelli in the family?
    And the rep just backs that up. If you want a road tyre, Metzeler. If you want a fast/race tyre? Pirelli.
    The M7RR is pointless.

      Really? Its like everything else for sale. Ok GM owns chevy and Cadillac right? Ok well the old CTS-V is the same exact thing as the Camaro, just with slightly nicer things, but it costed more. Some people dont care about the extra things though, so they would buy a camaro, even though they are the same thing. By your logic, would you say why would anyone buy the camaro or that it is just pointless

      By my logic Porsche are owned by VW. If you want a track orientated sports car, a TCR golf isn’t much chop against a GT3 911

      @@BigCarKilla Lamborghinighini and Audi are in the same group as vw and Porsche, so it'd be fairer to compare the GT3 to a Lambo or an R8.
