jschaf Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 How worn can tires be and still pass tech inspection? I need new tires now & want to ride mid Ohio 7/1 & 7/2. I would like to do some street riding between now & then. Advice please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 could always get a set of take offs to ride on till then, then pick up a new set of tires close to the track time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschaf Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks. Next question: What's the best source for takeoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 what size take offs? post a thread with the size(s) you're looking for and your thread will look like the worst kind of bukkake video there is: one with big black rubbery ones all over your ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman88210 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Its always better to have nice tires when heading to the track. Ive made the mistake of trying to save money on new rubber and almost crashed because of it. Trust me, a couple hundo for tires is waaaay better than a couple grand in fixing a wrecked bike.

Moto-Brian Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I have a set or three of Dunlop Ntec slicks that will work on your 1000... I also have a brand new Dunlop US front slick that I will sell for less than what you'd get direct. Let me know and I can provide prices. You really need to be replacing tires if you have any thought they may be too worn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Actually, I was looking to show up at the track with one 500 mile street ride on a new set of tires but now I think I'm just going to buy two new sets, ride one set until the weekend before the track then spoon on the other new set. Thanks for the offer Brian, but I'd be apprehensive about running slicks on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Oh, I thought you'd spoon on the slicks for the track day. I wasn't thinking to have you buy them for street use.I do have a brand new set of Pirelli Super Corse in the 200 rear and 120 front for 1000s...
