Title: What's a good tire for the track? And, any Sales going on soon?
Post by: ducky on May 14, 2009, 05:18:00 PM

I'm looking for a 120/70-17 front and 160/60-17 rear for the track. Saw a sale at CycleGear.com for a package PIRELLI Diablo for $189.98. Is this a good deal? If not, what is a good tire and where can I get a good deal?

Thanks!

That is a good deal. Are they the Diablo Rossos?

Just regular diablos. I don't know if that deal includes a 160 rear. I think it may only be for 180 and 190 sizes.

The deal includes for the 160 rear.

To the OP, you might try posting this question in the "Racing & Trackdays" forum.
Or you might try posting this in the WERA board or any of the other links I previously sent to you.
Or you might try using the "search" button in any of those boards.
Or you might try providing more info as to what bike it's for, if tire warmers are to be used, what your expectations are, what's your definition of a "good deal", etc., etc.
Or you might be a redneck if..... eh, screw it.
