as I said, tell guys at MotoGP to change wheels and tyres especially in rain to 21" and knobbies. I'm sure they will love your idea at 150 mph. :funmeteryes:

I don't know where you ride or where you're from .. as you've left off your location. (Now why is that?) :innocent:

Obviously not comparing to MotoGP here. But bring those MotoGP guys over to our BEAT up, horribly bumpy, pot holed nightmares for roads and lets see how they do. :smartass:

Average speeds on such roads go from 15 to 60 MPH for the most part.

Trust me, I've ridden such road with plenty of fast sport bike guys (not MotoGP racers) and they struggle. BTW, in rain I leave off the knobbies and use a nice
80/20 dual sport tire like an Anakee or Distanzia.

Ever ride (or race Flat Track?) The tires above are a bit like flat track tires and work really well on paved roads and even on some smooth dirt roads within reason. bier
