The Pirelli's don't seem to ever get up to temp as well as the others, and I won't ever run Michelin again after two sets of their tires fell apart on me....
Yeah, I have heard that Michelin is having some issues with de-lamination in the two compound power races, I ran a PR4 once, and wasn't real happy with it, it didn't seem to heat up and stick like I'm used to. That sucker had my ass end sliding all over JGP.

Do you run the BT-002 Race or BT-002RS? The RS is supposed to be a more trackday-focused tire, not as susceptible to heat cycles and such. Although I suppose if the 002 Race is good then the RS should be pretty decent too. Any chance you could hook me up with some contact info for your rep? At the very least I'd like to get some info on pressures, temps, etc and at the very best I might buy a set from him.
