the abominable tire monster

[com3]

So, I'm always hearing about people having issues with their tires at the track.  Cold tear, hot tear, rebound, shock, blah blah tear.  I see people ride half a freggin day on a brand new set of DOTs or slicks, and their tire looks like it went through a meat grinder while on fire...both riders faster AND slower than myself are ending up out ~$350 for a set of tires after a HALF DAY.

Tire vendors love you. Your husband/wife hates you. The Abominable Tire Monster has you.




There's a VERY simple solution to maximizing your tires' life as well as grip...We all want our tires to last and stick, right?

What's so special about the DOT slicks that are on my GSXR600?  

Well, those tires have FIFTEEN (15) A and B group sessions at Reno Fernley Raceway this past weekend and 80+ laps at A-pace at Thunderhill raceway.  

I haven't cleaned or washed or altered or ridden the tires in ANY way since it's last lap at Thunderhill on Monday either. It's just been sitting in the garage on the rear stand.

O RLY? YA SRSLY!

You wanna know how I do it?!?

Joe. I had that monster work on my Pirelli's at Thunderhill last year.  It was to late when I added air pressure. I think I had my psi to high anyway.

Sounds like Dave Moss has figured out the problem at Thunderhill with Pirelli. That has been a head ache for a while now.

Dave Moss will be at RFR this weekend. He knows suspension very well. give him a try. Even if your not on the track. Let him check it out for all you street riders.

I agree with A Dragon, Dave Moss really knows his stuff. I had a cold tearing problem with Pirellis at TH, I thought it was a tire pressure issue; he looked at the tire wear, tweaked the rebound, and they wore great from then on. Tires + suspension = black magic.
