Over the years I've been racing I've "heard" a lot of things, most of which didn't happen. Nothing personal but I'll believe it when I see tires on the truck.
Hey, gotta stay positive right!? I only asked since I had a good Dunlop front and was curious and hoping to only buy one tire instead of a pair. I plan to try the bridgestone slicks next year anyway if slicks are allowed across the board. Seemed as though they were going to try and follow suit like they did with the big bikes and make a US rear. I ran pirellis for what it's worth this past weekend.
Tyler, has been on a SV650 with Bridgestone 160 or 165 slicks. I think it is a 165 but I don't have it here to look at. At Big Willow in September he did a 1:27:19 on fresh tires to set a record in 1 class and then in his 3rd race of the day, with the rear flipped, he ran a 1:27:21 to set a record in another class. Big Willow is very hard on tires. We are running this tire on a Honda F3 rear wheel.
