Tire weight

[Karaya One]

Weight issues aside, the bigger concern should be how the bike will handle with the 160 vs the 180. The 180 is a big hunk of rubber on a 60HP bike.

Unless the rear profile is very triangular, that 180 will not allow the small bike to turn nearly as well as the 160 will on the 4.5-5.00 inch rim.

Almost. Pretty sure our two old 2005 52hp RMZ 4-speed would be doing just fine.

Scary/funny thing is, not many sub-20 laps out of those motard this year.

So who makes a nice sticky 150 race tire?

Pirelli makes the 150 diablo rear. The ex guys use it.

??? Where did all the fast guys go? Used to be you needed 16s to win. 18s to get near the podium...

Says the man who all but forgot where the track was.

I finally raced this year!

Just not at Loudon... I'm not the tire-selection-by-weight type either way.

Once my EX's sell, it won't be for an EX.....

The BT-090 Pro info and SUMO slicks from Bridgestone.

Christian said it, the Diablo Supercorsa DOT is available in a 150 rear.
