Hi there!
I was just wondering if anyone could recommend tyres for drag racing? Obviously it only needs to be grippy in a straight line and should fit on standard vtr1000 firestorm wheels. it doesnt need to be road legal, but should be as sticky as possible!
As a complete newbie, im not sure whether to go for slicks, track/road tyres, or just a sticky road tyre like a sportec..
Please excuse my ignorance, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Scott
tyre for drag racing
I know nowt about it for real, but...
I would have thought a sport touring tyre would be good. Reckoning on then not having to buy tyres every run
Wheelspin off the line wont be a problem on the Storm (wheelies might ) and a standing quarter is probably around 12.5 seconds at 120mph ish (guessing)
As said, as a serious drag bike, the Storm is way outclassed by anything remotely like a tuned Hayabusa, GSXR or ZZR14.
For hooning down a bit of airfield though I reckon it'll be a right laugh.

Voted most likely to be found dead in park bushes following an act of autoerotic asphyxiation.
