180 on a 6 inch rim

[McGee]

Right,

I hate the Shinko on the 1000, its a 200width and its just pointless it doesn't heat up and is just plain shit.

I have a perfectly good 180width Pilot Power sat here. And I don't have the $180/$200 for a diablo III rear.

Now I know by fitting it to a 6 inch rim it will stretch it and flatten it slightly. But its bound to be better than the huge bastard of a Korean I have wrapped around the rear at the moment.

Seriously a 200width is over kill.

Was discussing this with Big_Ham and he said to go for it, its bound to better than the Shinko on there.

So opinions ?

Provided you kill the Shinko with a rolling burnout.

People do it on other bikes all the time, it's not ideal, but it has to be better than the shinko.

Cut a hole in the shinko and fuck it.

Dam0n has the right idea, doing a burnout will warm up the tyre first.


Cheers

that'll be fine though it should be a 190 but some peeps even changed there tyres too 180 on a 6inch rim because they felt it helped them steer quicker but you can make your own mind up about that.

+1 for the rolling burnout vid by an old peoples home...
