    i'd try get a matching front pirelli the tyre shape will problibly be different ie steeper angled + a grippy front is good to stop loosing it when going uber hard

    Can really screw the handling not having matching tyres.... I had a sport demon on the back of the spada and an IRC RXO1F on the front for a while, it got a cute little weave when pushing it....and the IRC was a pathetic pile of poos.

    I wouldn't go near it for anything except burnouts, if can't amke the most of a 150 section tire than a 160 is not going to do you any fuckin good man, it is going to make your bike handle worse than it does now, I firmly bellieve, better off to save your 30 buck..

    Be careful with the used tyre....if its just done road work it'll be cupped out, & if youre any good you'll be leaning way more on the track which means youll roll over the edge of the worn area....smaller contact patch .

    gpra10 is the new version of 70 as far as im aware.Both designed for high temp running without tyre warmers which your not allowed anyway.

    Buy the 70s chaos, then you will have some spare cash to come and race at taupo on the 1st november. Be a good test for your sticky tyres with all the corners on the short track, my 2 stroke is great fun on the tight stuff.

    Whats your FZR like on track 2 mossy?

    Turn 8 on track 2 is cool as big sweeper then thru shicane onto back straight. Its my 3rd year racing(should have done it years ago) , Have done all the PMCC rds and a few VMCC and TRSS twice, Post Classic GP last year was spectating as bike was bent lol. I hope to be there with TZR and LC this year, Maybe do Wanganui this year too Hardly ride my road bike now.

    Suspension might be my Xmas present mate well as much as you can do with 32mm forks lol
