Yeah, not all in tyre sizing, just large portion perhaps. I rebuilt front-end over winter, lowered fork in clamps about 12mm and increased rebound-damping. That did seem to improve front-end grip and I dropped a second off my times at Buttonwillow compared to end of season last year on same Alpha 13-SP/Alpha-13 combo.

Looking forward to trying the R11 next, most likely at Thunderhill next round if they arrive in time.
