Fitting wider tyres.

karl has been riding awesome,
better than anyone in the class no doubt, could he have fitted the same tyres as everyone in the class after ruapuna, he got two sets from dunlop but didn't fit them.... why risk it ????

Give it a rest man! He is not even on this web site to defend himself, or speak up

Good luck with your racing in the future

Sounds good Garry but I suspect someone would put a 160 on the front or run non-homologated valve caps or something and still get there arse protested.

Do they really protest tyre size ? !!!! Larger tyres use to be quite common in production racing mainly to gain clearance. ( Safety, you'd call it nowdays. )
I can recall Randy Mamola rocking up to a 410 race at Ruapuna with a rear tyre on the front , now that was really out there even then. Gaz.

what a load of shit, there were many dunlops in stock and after ruapuna he went to dunlop and got 2 160 rears but never put them on, some people talk shit and were surposed to believe them hes a class rider, but as a rule reader and tyre stocks he is ............. well not as good as his riding..

Thanks John. I didnt say there were no Dunlop 160's available, I said there were no Pirelli 160's in stock (I couldnt get one either so I used an old Metzeler). Anyway SV's (& ER's too ?) are homolgated with 60 section front tyres and everyone runs 70's, so no-one should get any points, right? Its not yacht racing or F1. Give it a rest and tip yer hat to KM.

KM was doing 1.14 or 1.15s around Manfeild at the Nats while I was there - on a pro twin spec bike....I'll tip my hat to the guy !!
