[Kham]

[Doc]

Looks good to me. You coming to the Aug 31 trackday.

[The Crashing Tomato]

all depends on what YOU feel safe using.

[Kham]

not sure yet doctor.

it feels little different, like softer? not sharp? , the past two days i rode it. i dont know if it was me, the road, or something else?

another opinion pleas?

[Kham]

just saw the LAPS post. couldn't tell if mine is 75% or 85% available.

Tires - MUST be in good condition. Sufficient tread is required to be able to last the day. We'll be looking for 75% of tread available for DOT tires, and 85% remaining for slicks - our tech inspectors will be judging this on an individual, bike by bike basis. We do have on-site tire service through Street and Comp and Bridgestone tires, so if your tires don't pass, you will have the opportunity to put on replacement tires to pass TECH.

If your Questioning the tire it is time to replace it. Tires can be cheap insurance. I questioned a tire once, lets just say I'll never do that again.

I'd ride on it, but that's me.

i'm with pete

If the steel beltings are not yet exposed your good to go. If you expose them, just stick out your inside leg and drift it for the rest of the race.

If LAPS won't pass that tire, then I can't go.

[GixerJockey]

Just looking at the picture... I'd pass it.

[boloson]

r u kidding me? plenty of meat there. stop bitching & call fat-shel

[Kham]

Just looking at the picture... I'd pass it.

you would pass as not going or you would pass at the inspection?

[Kham]

I'd ride on it, but that's me.

i guess the question is will it pass the tech inspection?

[Just_Jeff]

I have no clue but part of me hopes they consider what group your riding in at least partially. I mean that tire looks good for all groups but if its in the slowest group it would probably be good for 20 more days At least if i was the one on it.

you going? i guess i'll register and let the fat man know.

they can stick me in beginner if they can pass it. i dont want no bridge stone tire.

Kham WTF? Youre selling out on us for the racers.

Next thing youll be posing on Newbury Street.

[Kham]

i was thinking togo hit 116 sunday but i dont know if i can come up with $300 for new tires by next week. im also looking to take advantage of this clunker by next week. i dont know man. maybe fuck it. wanna go sunday Sean?

[slammp]

Actually, Sunday is my youngest's birthday (the big 3!), and Saturday I'm pulling my chain and spockets off for some new one's that just came in - I wish I could.

[CEO]

There's plenty of tire left there, especially for a track day.

I run my shagged race takeoffs at TDs until they are completely toast... otherwise it's just like throwing money away...

[OreoGaborio]

i guess the question is will it pass the tech inspection?

I wouldn't ride on anything that I wouldn't pass inspection on.

So if I were the one doing the tech inspection, then yes, it'd pass.... but it's not my track day & I'm not inspecting your bike.

[hawk]

I didn't say it wouldn't pass inspection.

[Trackday Guru]

Kham...it appears by the photo (and please understand - we DO NOT and CANNOT judge equipment by photos to either pass, or fail TECH), however, as I said, it APPEARS by the photo, that you'll be all set as far as the tire goes.

That being said, there's a couple things I need you to understand;

1. We will reserve final judgement until we actually have the tire in front of a tech inspector the day of the event
2. We do take into account to some degree which group you will be riding in
3. Simply because you have enough tread at the beginning of the day, does not mean that you will be able to complete the day on that tire....especially if you have only marginal tread remaining at the beginning of the day.

I don't want to see a huge debate on whether or not this tire is OK on here, leave that to us at the event. But since you brought it up and threw the photo up I thought I'd chime in.

Hope this helps

Mike
