Another tire option

Go and sign up to a high performance car forum and have a read about their tyre concerns....a mate has 600rwhp on a highly modified V8 and only gets about 20k km's out of a set of rears at $1k each. The fronts do a little better but for $/km that's comparable to most bike tyres.
 
Hummmmm

Just 600 HP that is not much for a High performance car...Not compared to a Rocket..

Do the HP to weight ratio and you will see what it takes to make a car and a Rocket equal.

I am not sure I would want a car that is a every day driver....with the same HP to Weight ratio as the Rocket
 
I agree on the handling of a 245. That was the same tire I tried first too. The second DS was a 235 and a much better handling tire. I now have a 225 on the Roadster, and I can't tell much difference from a MC tire. Still have the 235 on the R3 standard. I bet those who ride a 205 have even better handling.
 
I sold an '06 Corvette to keep from putting tires on it at ~ $4k per set...of course it had 106,000 miles on it

Yeah it's only 500/tonne (a little better than the R3 in stock form) but it's a **** load for a 4.2lt/253ci daily driver
 
I put a car tire on mine, I just had to try it. I ended up dropping the air pressure to 25lbs to soften the edges. It does take a bit of effort to make a curve or corner as you feel the tire go up on it's edge. You also do not 'goose' the throttle when you are leaning to pass or take a corner... it will slip.(spooked the crap out of me the first time). My wife told me I may keep it on, wear the tread out, but I don't get to put another one on. I do love the look, though.
 
A new CT is slicker'n snot till it gets burned in. But, I have found it holds better than a Metz after that. As far as the percentage of darksiders, if the indication of RAA events is a good population to do stats, it is about 40 percent. It would be a good poll here on the forum.
