where to get race tires?
- Thread starter smergy
- Start date
Do you need slicks? Pro6 and Recidivist have some good pricing on the Dunlop GP-A Dot tires as far as I know, if you look in the Dealer/Vendor forum you will see Recidivist's thread for his GP-A sale, I think Pro6 has the same deal currently. Otherwise I think Turn2 is selling Pirelli race tires now. I think Petes-superbike does some Michelin race stuff. Not sure who deals with Bridgestone race tires around here. Usually the old stock is what you will see on sale hence the good pricing on the GP-A's as they have been superseded by newer versions. Also Pro6 had great deals on some older slicks a couple seasons ago if I remember correctly. Your only other options are to buy from US or find someone getting rid of some extras on the cheap.

u got tire warmers?
:thumbup: for Wayne Kennedy.
we have the energy efficient solar kind. Don't need em for the Q2's, they warm up very quick, would be nice for the other bike running slicks, takes a bit longer, but they get there after a lap and a little.
Ha. No they don't.
+10
Full heat takes an hour on a warmer! Its not possible to get there in a lap and a little. All slicks and all(save a couple) DOT race tires are designed to be used with warmers.
The NTECs do last longer than most.
Haha that was my first question too.
I have been running the GPA's so far this season and so far I am loving them especially the low price I paid for them back in December.
Haha that was my first question too.
Been using them for endurance races this year, no complaints.
Just looking at options on what to upgrade to. Thanks for the opinions on the GPAs. I go to the track with a former canadian pro who runs slicks, 495 just seemed kinda up there to me, thats why I ask.
Pro6 quoted me $250 plus taxes for a set of 120/160 Q2s. That is a great price IMO.
They gave me $278 + tax for Q2's 120/190's, which was the same as Pete's. Q2's are good on the track and good on the street, but not great for either. They wear pretty quick on the street (I drive them pretty hard), but don't have the grip of race tires on the track. Was thinking of going with a 2nd set of rims and going something more streety one one set and something more for racing on the other.
Thanks for the input from all!
does he use warmers on his slicks?
