The Italian PMT tire manufacturers have been producing high quality, high end tires for the smaller racing wheel fraternity since 1990. These tires, until now only available in sizes suitable for racing cars or Radio Controlled Pocket bikes, are now also available for scooters. PMT tires are renowned for their wide range of mixtures of different tire materials and various tread profiles of the tires used in their manufacture, suitable for any (race) track conditions. Scooter riders in Italy have already been convinced of the superior adaptability and consequently better performance offered by the PMT tire range. We have PMT tires available with the following tread groove combinations and mix of material or profile: Slick Rigid Mix: The tires for the toughest conditions. Thanks to its harder mix rubber material this type of tire wears slower from its support or soft counterparts and is therefore more suitable for long distance or even endurance races. The disadvantage that comes with the added durability offered by this type of mix is ​​more difficult requiring more time to reach their actual working temperature of 80 degrees Celsius (C) or 176 degrees Fahrenheit (F). This type of tire is recommended for a (dry) track temperature between 30 and 40 ° C (86 - 104 ° F). Its optimal grip is obtained with an inflation pressure of 1.2 - 1.3 bar at the front and 1.4 - 1.9 bar at the rear. Media Mix Slick: The tires with the medium hardness of the material mix are most popular in scooter competitions. Maximum grip alone is not what this tire is about, the balance between the amount of grip and its durability is what really matters for this particular compound. All this, of course, depending on the quality of the race itself and the environmental conditions. A wide range of potential race conditions are covered by the specifications of this tire which makes it, more often than not, a safe bet on race days. This tire is also happy with a (dry) track temperature of 30 - 40 ° C or 86-104 F. Its actual working temperature is however slightly lower than 75 CF or 167, but similar to the harder compound than these tires need almost all the time to be worked up to much on the track. The recommended tire pressures are 1.2-1.3 bar at the front and 1.4-1.9 bar at the rear. Slick Color mix: Do you want grip? It took! The softer compound of tires in this band has only one purpose: to literally stick the tires to the road! Consequently, the effective working temperature is reached relatively quickly. The disadvantage of this adherent, soft compound is however that, unfortunately, they must be replaced after each race. The recommended tire pressures are 1.2-1.3 bar at the front and 1.4-1.9 bar at the rear. A - Slick: Do we need a rain tire or a slick? When you are not sure enough about the weather in the coming race period this question definitely needs to be answered. PMT we have the solution: an intermediate compound combined with a minimalist 'smooth' profile type of tread. The 'R-Slick' is ideal for unstable weather conditions and an important ingredient in the winning formula of many teams' race successes. The recommended tire pressures are 1.2-1.3 bar at the front and 1.4-1.9 bar at the rear. Rain Racing: THE rain tire racing for all forms of sport scooters! A cleverly arranged tread profile combined with the most applied compounds the material technique available make it stand out among the current tires available for wet race use. All the teams that used the PMT rain tire were completely convinced by its superior wet qualities. We can also recommend this tire for use in persistent rain and / or a wet track! The recommended tire pressures are 1.2-1.3 bar at the front and 1.4-1.9 bar at the rear.
