WTB tires for my Hawk

[6 Fingered Man]

I need a set of tires for the hawk i just got from doc, any one want to sell a used set?

160 17" rear and 110 17" front?

[Doc]

Motard guys or Hawk guys for take offs.

Boston Moto or Sto or Street and Comp for new. Oh wait you want Dunlops... Who sells those at the track?

I have what u need

hawk prep'd F2 front end with emulators and a 120 frt tire and dual disc ........ etc etc

Bridgestone and Pirelli both make a 110 front, you get a choice of compounds in the Pirelli, just one offering from Bridgestone. Unless you've got a built motor, that 110 front should be more than enough to get the job done.

Bridgestone is paying contingency in all ranks and classes this year, so you could go for a BT090 front and a BT090, BT002 or BT003 rear if you want to try and chase that. Novice grids for small machines have been a lil light this year though so they are typically only paying out to 1st or 2nd place at the moment.

For rains, a 125GP rear flipped around is about perfect on a 3" front rim.

Hmmm... I have the nice forks in it but dual disk and 120 tire sounds nice. Sending PM.

He has the forks and he is running Ptwins so no F2 yet.

The Hawk ran a 160 rear stock?

Thats whats on it, would a 150 be better? There not exactly power houses.

What's the rim width back there? That'll determine the ideal size, but going smaller than 160 in back means you're pretty much restricted to Bridgestone BT090s, which so far have worked for me. If the bike is stock, I'd say run the smallest rubber the rim wants, and keep the rolling weight down.

[Doc]

We all run 160's but I have been told it might turn in a little quicker with a 150. I think 150's are kinda hard to find at the track.

Right now ill put anything on that will fit that i can get cheap or used. 150 should turn in well 160 will work also. it came with a 160 stock according to some random website.

So the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa IS available in a 150, which is the native size for that rim.

http://mc.bridgestone.co.jp/en/produ...lax/bt090.html

Bridgestone suggests a 150 or 160 for that rim width.

http://mc.bridgestone.co.jp/en/produ...x/bt003rs.html

Interestingly, you can get the BT003RS in 140 or 150 widths now, and a 110 front... so a new option above the BT090s.

So pick the vendor you like to work with, you can get good tires either way.

Great info, Thanks. I am going to try and find some take offs first due to a small budget but that is GREAT info on the tire sizes might go that way if i cant find a cheap set.

[Kurlon]

On bikes with twice the yank of a stock Hawk... : )

[The Crashing Tomato]

too many factors here to geek out about ...... just run it and have fun.

With the limited amount of 150's out there a 160 fits fine on the 4.5" rear rim.

If you can get a 150 Race DOT for P-twin I would go that route. Little less weight. The 160 does not allow the most optimal contsct patch. Bit it is still good for 17's.

A 160 fits perfectly on a 5" rear rim.
