the review looks good , I am gonna put one on the race bike and see how it does. The KDW I was running was also tested and came in 5th on this test.

Traction on this tire is great. I have never had the bike bog down before .... I really have to hit the gas hard to break it loose, and this motor makes alot of power. I went to the dragstrip and had to ride the clutch to get the bike going. Usually there is some wheel spin and the motor revs up easily.

I had a 1.65 60' time , which is pretty good for a bike geared for land speed racing. I am betting that with some gearing change and practice I can get it down to the 1.50 range.

Anyway, if any of y'all are looking for a tire with a lot of grip , this one has my vote :-)
tire went on pretty easy and didnt give me any problems. Price is good also, under $100 bucks at the tire rack.
