160race slick
« on: January 12, 2013, 02:39:34 PM »
I did a gsxf rear wheel swap today on my 91 with the intention of running a 160 slick for the track.  The tire currently on the wheel is a 140 and rubs rear break arm.  Easy to fix I just flipped it and it clears no problem.  I don't think a 160 will clear and cant find race rubber smaller then 160.

Anyone else run into this problem or have a suggestion.  Thanks.

From what I understand from frequenting various forums you are handling this critisim completely wrong. You are supposed to get bent out of shape and start turning towards personal attacks.

Bridgestone bt003 comes in a 140.  Although not a slick, sticky enough for fast guys

BT003RS or Pirelli Rosso in 140 is probably your best bet. The BT003RS works well with a DOT front tire, and can handle pretty impressive lean angles. I'm not as impressed by the BT003RS front.
