Pregen current track day tires?
Looking at taking a pregen to the track this sumer for gigles. Bike currently has 10-15yo mt75's with no miles.... (long story for another day)
Quick look found Biasplys: Mt75 Sport demon Bt-45 radial scooter: City gripper Angel demon Mix and match 130/70r16"front" in the rear but what to run upfront? Battleaxe s21 rear Sportec m3 rear The last option is to spend the monies and convert to 17" Scooter tires should be fine as id be hardpressed to hit 100mph at any of my local tracks on the 250. Im all ears! -Levi |

I've never had BT45s let me down at peg scraping leans.

Bridgestone BT45s or Michelin City Grips are are good.
Street tyres with small tread-blocks tend to get feathering at edges of blocks. Seems to cause increased wear. But nothing to worry about. I'm going to try taking my pre-gen with Shinkos on track next. I suspect lack of tread-blocks (just some small stripes) will enhance grip and durability. |
