 Subject: Track tires |

| I'm sure this has been covered before, but just checking to see if there are any new tires available for the 16" rims, and what is the best tire for the track. I used the Pirelli's last year, and they seem ok, but I may have run them thru too many cycles. I low sided for no apparent reason the last time I had it out. The rear broke loose, but could have been the rider. I'm replacing them before I go back out this year. |

I used the Sport Demons. Is there a more popular tire, or are they about the same.
I've thought about getting 17", but I really don't want to spend that kind of money on this bike. If the newer model Ninja has 17" wheels, I would prefer to spend the money on a newer bike. |

| The GT501 will last longer, but the front available is kinda tall. The MT75 has a reputation for having as good grip as the SD. They're cheaper and won't last as long. I don't know if anyone has run the GT501/Lasertec combo on the track. |
