PMT Rain's! - PocketBikeForum.com

*Grinn and Barrett* · 10-17-2006, 06:56 PM

These tires are at the absolute peak of pocket bike performance parts. PMT certainly did there homework when producing this compound and tread pattern. PMT Rain tires are easily the same quality of tire used in full scale Moto GP racing, they perform amazingly in wet or or rainy conditions.

I woke up yesterday morning to go to or last regional race of the season and to my surprise it was raining, I though to myself, sweet, a chance to try out the new PMT Rain’s. Well rather unfortunetly there were no other PB’s equipt to run in the rain. So I ran my GRC RR 8hp against the motard class, and starting at the back of the grid I managed to finish fourth. Well this wasn’t enough racing for me so I then ran my bike in the Clash Class (Motards, Metrikits, and NSR 50’s) and once again pulled away with a fourth place. Now I’m thinking to myself these tires are frikin amazing.

And they are!

In no way an exaggeration, these tires felt as if they hook up better than slicks do on dry pavement, truly unbelievable! I am sure that I ran a couple laps yesterday that were the fastest laps I have ever run around that track, in 0 degree weather, raining, and with one nasty wind.

For anyone who will be doing any serious traveling and racing don’t take the chance grab a set of these bad boy’s and you will not be sorry, who knows you may end up wishing for rain on race day, I know I am!

These tire are available through GrinnandBarrett.ca

hey, how quickly do those tires wear down?

*Grinn and Barrett* · 10-17-2006, 07:59 PM

I've only ran the two races on them and they don't show any wear but they are a very soft tire. I'm sure they would last a season as I'm sure you probably wouldn't use them very often.

PMT Rain are the best money can buy in my books! Iwould recomend them to anyone and i'v had a few now and they last a good while if only ridden in really wet conditions. But i would use PMT jnr r's in damp/half wet conditions as funnely enought they offer more grip!
