What speeds do you plan to run? What is the record in your class?

Should go over 200 now... but not up to class record of 240+.

What size tires do you need? Width/aspect ratio front and rear?

Front 120/70, rear 240/40; both in 18" to fit the CF rims.

Currently have ZR tires, but I understand the rules for 200+ will be changing soon.

ECTA does not have a tire rule change coming.  You will be fine with the ZR 240 tires. 
I believe these 240 tires are the only tires tested over 270mph.

Thanks, Bill!

I thought I read the rule was changing, my error.

SCTA is doing the rule change.

While on the subject of bike tires/speed ratings..... class record is below 200, but my concern is the H rating for bikes vs. cars. Bikes are limited to 130mph. while cars may run to, I believe 150mph.

It would seem the tire loading would be less for bikes, even though cars have 2 or 4 mounted.

I have/run: 100/90H19 Avon Roadrunners on the front, 200/60VB16 Avon AM23 on the rear. These are tube type tires, with required metal caps. What speed(s) am I good for ?

Thoughts/ideas appreciated...........                    Morph
