Default 180mph tires ?
I took out my Contemporary today to check the new jetting of my carb and got carried away on the Autopista doing 150mph at 5500rpm. The engine was still pulling for more but I backed off because my Yokohamas are rated T only good for about 118mph.
I am thinking to get a set of 17inch wheels and tires. Who makes a good 17" Halibrand look wheel? I have calculated that I would need 335-35/17 and 255-45/17 to get the correct tire height.
I would like to know what you are wearing on your 17 inch wheels and you comment on the feel of 17 inch compared to 15 wheel.
