Brought these today meant to be the greatest thing since 2lt bottles of OP rum and at $600 a set they better be.

The tyre dealer wants as much feed back as i can give him as this is the first set sold Does that mean the next release of tyre maybe the Hammer-RaceTec ?

Stu

Stu

How good does rubber get?

Geez Stu I thought ya was gunna post something else when I read the Topic....

I prefer leather actually...

Mick waits...

They sell slicks for the road now? ..........$600 hmmmm geez lucky you don't do trackdays on that bike then.

Mate, you eat tyres , like you don't know what 160hp is going to do . I think, just as someone suggested a KSRC sponsored crash fund for me , you need a KSRC tyre fund. We've all heard of the "cookie monster", and how he devours cookies, meet Hammer the "tyre monster" .

Strap-on

i wanna see some "after" photos.....
yeah, and i give you about 2206 Kms on those..... (maybe)
look good tho, nice and slick, must be like bubblegum (-sorry- "chewy")

Look good Stu

Let's see how much you've chewed them up in the next week - another Tambo run ?

I ain't got no answer yet!
I was thinkin a cold slick with grooves cut as they have more meat and thats my next go maybe. But hey 3k is normal, no thats not 30k.
I will let ya know stu.

Yeah mickyd you up for a tambo run again? Maybe even out to bellbird raceway

Scotty mate not sure on the slick thing i asked about em and was told slicks are not meant for constant high speed work like we sometimes do

Stu

enjoy mate!!....

Summins gotta be better, 3000km's is just expensive and unreal. Even the Bridgies come with 5-6mm grooves from new and thats gunna last about 2 or 3 good hard runs, I suppose I should not complain as thats what ya get from all that RWHP. I will have a serious look at the alternative and I will be carefull. Good point about the constant high speeds as that contributes the majority of the wear in the centre and these current tyres ball/rip up badly during a hard run. I am really at a loss to get decent wear, I need something with a hard thick centre, Pilot Road or HPX comes to mind although they don't have a 200/50 (HPX do) only a 190/50 AFAIK. Might go and see what the yanks are using.

Stu - yep I'm up for it. Sunday again?
