Yep they are bloody ace track tyres and are the tyre of choice on any 250 grid (all the top racers use them). You'll need to do a 17" rear wheel conversion and fit a wider front as well. They are only available in a 120/160 17" combination, So something like a ZXR400 front and a RGV VJ22 rear will be needed, although the profile of the rear really wants a 5-5.25" rear wheel (the RGV is a 4.5" wide wheel).cpw888 wrote:Really?
These are good for the KR1's?
They are designed for a lightweight bike (such as a Supermoto or a 250) and are a Slick with a slight moulded tread thats enough to allow them to be used in a supersport race. They are also marked "not for Highway Use" so the plod won't like you using them on the road.Why? Aren't they for supermoto races?
