Has anyone put MPSS on 20inch rims?

[pah250]

As per title.

I need to replace my rear tyres. I would normally stick with the OEM Potenza's, but the Michelin Pilot Super Sport's actually come in cheaper which surprised me, so I'm considering them...

I know loads of you guys put them on 19s, but wondered if anyone has put them on 20s before?

Cheers

Doesn't really answer your question but I've had P Zeros and currently have Dunlop Sportmaxx on my 20's at present and could not fault either, excellent in dry conditions and surprisingly reassuring in the wet.

Pretty
Sure goldy has them I his 20"s

No reason not to go for them tbh

Yeah you need a softer compound I was quite concerned by the amount of slip you seemed to be getting at the National meet

Where's the video upload you promised me BTW?

No brainer IMHO Just do it .... Nike

Are the super sport's softer than the Potenza's? I'm wondering now if the small cost saving might be outweighed if they only last half as long.

I'll e-mail you some details. The bloody SD card in the GoPro was corrupt when I tried to get the video's off. Looks like I've managed to get the majority of the video off though, and it includes all the good bits

Wish you'd super charge your FTP server....

Not even getting a 1MB/sec

That's because the server in question is a one box wonder in my garage and you've pretty much got my upload bandwidth maxed out

It'll get there eventually

Is this why I am struggling in sunny Kazakhstan, downloaded nearly 1 GB and it has now stopped, took several hours to get to this stage.

OK not 20's but 19's but i had Dunlop Sport Maxx and now have MPSS, big difference in them the MPSS grip way more, they are a softer compound so will have to wait and see how long they last

They don't last long!

I did 2mm off a brand new pair of rears at the National meet...

MPSS tread depth looks less than others too!
Looks like a money printing machine for the communist french Michelin company, though they were on special.

Might look it but you do get your full 8mm to start with

Only 2mm, you must try harder
