if you want sticky tires, dunlop right now in the US is tops. there are racing slicks but you have to order them from europe and the cost about $90+ each plus shipping. as for the brakes. I use the ebc on the rear and they work fine in fact in full race conditions they lock up still after getting hot even after 6 laps-8laps. get the non grooved ones. and veshrah does make brake shoes for your bike. part # vb141. they sell those on ebay sometimes.

This has been my experience. I remember them being stickier before. I like the S1s for my daily driver. =) only because I don't really have to drive that far. =) The S1s are sticky enough for me and the wear is decent (for a stickier compound).

They're only $25 ? dammit i'm being overcharged!!! ! Actually with shipping and handling, it comes out about right...

Hawaii prices suck, we get the short end of the stick when it comes to shipping and handling prices

Dunlop (If I can get that set of Metro wheels) and EBC 333 non-grooved shoes for me then !

if you cant get those metro rims,the tt91 80/90-10 tires will fit your rims better since the 80/90 is pretty much the same width as the stock size 3.00x10 tire

Is there a TT91 AND a TT91 GP tire ?
Maybe different rubber compounds??
Or are all TT91 tires the same rubber compound?

I can still find the TT91 in 80/90-10 on line.
Guess they quit making the TT91
Several sites already show the TT91 in 90/90-10 out of stock

TT92 is the replacement - comes in both a front tread pattern & rear tread pattern

Wondering if I can run a TT92 in 80/90-10 rear on the front ???
In other words is the front tire profile different from the rear tire profile?

only the tt91 came in 80/90-10 and yes the tt91gp is the same tire. the tt92 replaced the 91 but never came in a 80/90-10. thats why I was telling you to get a tt91 80/90-10 and tt92 90/90-10 as a setup from the get go.

I understand now - thanks !
