MT motorcycle slicks
The only ones i've seen are the ones that pr evo had and the ones Dave B had on his RS the last time out at the track when he was having tractions problems all they way into 3rd gear.
Sorry found them, Thanks
Guys just because quite a few cars running them haven't blow a tire and careened into a wall at a 140mph doesn't mean it's safe. First look how much these tires weigh compared to a similar car sized tire, they are not meant for these type of loads. I know there is a safety factor but do you know the factor is, you're just guessing.
I truly hope this doesn't start a trend of everyone running them because when someone's car gets totaled or worse, someone get's hurt, it won't be a good day.
So if they are rated at 500lbs each and during a hard launch you can have roughly 75% weight transfer or more. A full weight street evo at 3400lbs with driver will already have about 1500lbs on the rear tires, so that's 750lbs per tire roughly. On a launch that will probably go up to 1200-1300lbs per tire, that's almost 3 times the rated load!
I've talked to MT about this already. It's really not safe to run these on cars. I know this sport is inherently dangerous but why blatantly put yourself at risk like this?
