siert - 26/4/03 at 12:05 PM

a question for a friend: which slick tyre and wheel sizes do people in britain race with on their fireblade indy's????
Its got a 3.38 diff so whats the best???
Fitting 13 inch wheels gives problems with caliper clearance... so fit others??? or go for 15 inch???
I will post this question in the race section also.

Hi,

Most racers use 13" wheels and 60 profile tyres as these are lighter and the rubber is a lot cheaper (than 15". Typically they use Avon ACB10's or Yokohama O32's. Depending on what race series you are in you are limited to the max width tyre you can use.
