Re: Tyre recommendations
I'd had to slow down to about 20km/h while a slower punter moved outta the way, hence first

Re: Tyre recommendations
I just put a Dunlop 208, 200/50/17, onto my 12 and its very ordinary.
I only bought it, as it was cheap !!! But it takes a long time to warm up and i have Blazed it more times than i can count !!!
I have had 208's on other bikes but not on a 12 b4.
i will be going for the pilot road 2's next time, i currently have 1 on the front and its supa

Re: Tyre recommendations
actually my 2JZ is capable of doing it in 3rd! i had it dyno'd and made over 600nm of talks 3rd gear with a bit of clutch kick, but 2nd no worry with just brute power!Shifty wrote:Yeah let's see your 2JZ do that

Re: Tyre recommendations
Still stock twins? I've got a mate with a shade over 300rwhp from his... he's just gone big single so will be interesting to see what he gets out of it. Aim is mid-to-late 400's.
Back on topic, I think I've decided on 014s

Re: Tyre recommendations
Mine had an HKS t51R running basically no pounds of boost, on 25 psi made close to 1100nm and bit under 600rwhp quite the 600 eaterShifty wrote:Still stock twins?
