Finally a good sticky radial tire that's actually MEANT for the size rim that the 250 has

Why not make them in 110/130 or 110/140 (versus 100/125)? Is it a flickability thing?
I would imagine the thin radials would have as much surface-contact as a thinner bias-ply though...not sure about how they differ when leaning. I've always heard that bias-ply were horrible (I thought the +08 rims were changed so there would be radial options) but the Sport Demons get great reviews.... Ive been holding out on new tires (I have the IRC ROAD WINNERS) looking for a 110/140 radial that will fit and gets as good or better reviews than the SD. I don't race or plan on riding much in the rain, but I always buy good tires. |

Also the bridgestone BT-003rs is a 110/140 radial that is a great sticky tire for our ninjas. Check into those |

I race on BT003rs and that's all I ride on. I personally feel I'm not suffering in grip or times. They are great tires for our Ninjas. However, I will be honest with you, they do tend to slide in the rear a bit which I'm sure most any tires will do when push comes to shove. As I push more & more on the front I'm starting to feel the front slide a bit more than I'm accustomed to.
Now keep in mind I'm racing on these...if you're just riding the street oh they will be plenty fine. I would like to try other tires but sadly that would be a breach of contract.

I'm a big fan of the BT-045 for the street. I did my first four track days on them and had no problem getting my knee down. Also, the last one was in the rain. My friend who was at the track that rainy day was amazed the bike could get decent lean in the rain. She thought for sure I'd crash

Yeah, but I worry about the BT003rs in wet conditions...even though I rarely ride in the rain, the roads stay wet around here. Sorry for hijack.

Interesting, but we can't run slicks in WERA's 250 class.

just like a 130 or 140 Bias Ply is meant for a 3.5 inch rim like the 250 has, a 125 width radial is meant for a 3.5 inch rim. This is because of the construction of the tire. Radials either need a wider rim for the same width tire, or a smaller width tire for the same rim.

This is why CVMA freakin' rocks! Run what you want but leave the gaddang engine and major components alone.
And this rule also allows other racers to race in other classes without having to buy DOT tires and what not. I love our race org.
