Getting into Pro Twins

[hmurphy]

Because the price was so good and the tyres were brand new I just went ahead and purchased the Hyosung 650 without a complete inspection. I noticed the other day the front tyre looked rather 'pinched'. So I looked at the rim size and it's only a 3.0 front rim with a 120/70 tyre = A PINCHED TYRE!!!!! Damn. Wont be able to get the bike to hit the edges of the tyre. I have experience what this feels like while racing buckets and the bike feels like it wants to keep pulling towards the ground like a magnet or something.

My question is, who else has this problem? How much will it slow my lap times down by? Will it let go easier than a tyre with correct profile? When it slides will it be as easy to control? Will I have the same amount of traction but with just a different feel?

Cheers!

If its not too mcuh out of your budget get the tires sorted properly

Would worry more about the WEIGHT of the wheels.............changed some tyres for Mr Lawrance at the weekend ...nearly gave myself a hernia lifting it onto tyre machine.
Sure they are made of cast!!!!! IRON
Good luck mate
