    Can you guys give me some recommendations?,no slicks,the other vintage org doesn't allow warmers,and I I'm thinking that a lot of current race tires may be designed to work with them?

    3.5,4.5 17's

    All of them will. Just takes longer before they do.

    However - I'm sure some of the other peeps who have run AHRMA on bigger twins and the like will have better or at least a lot more specific info.

    Who the hell doesn't allow tire warmers? Do they just love first-lap crashes?

    No warmers rule is the dumbest rule in the history of stupid rules.

    AHRMA allows them in modern classes but in vintage they aren't in order to "preserve" the heritage.

    I see both sides but because now they allow modern rubber IMO they should allow warmers for those classes.

    They originally made the rules when all vintage bikes were 60's and 70's models.

    Do you have to use 70's and 80's era helmets and leathers?

    If you don't like the Vintage rules, don't race in the Vintage classes.

    Still trying to figure out why ahrma hates Fzr400's. 25 year old bike that some how there isn't a vintage class for but you can race an 05 SV all day long

    Hey man in not saying I agree.


    I think warmers should be used on the "vintage" bikes using 17' radials.

    As for the older style bias tires they heat up quickly and work well after about 3 corners and the warm up lap

    How about the newest generation "trackday" tires ? I would think they had to be designed with maybe no warmers in mind.
