200 out of box ///no on speedo...188 or so
real world
200 theoretical limit???//hell no
I went 244.449 average for mile, over 240
for over 2 miles, on a well used dunlop
D205 touring tire, I pulled it out of a used
tire pile out back of local dealership, it had
been sitting in my garage for nearly 3 yrs.......
the previous tire was a dunlop original sportmax
(unnumbered version came out in 88)
zr does not mean rated to 200, this zr has
a v280 designation on side, rated by dunlop to 173mph, we had many runs on it over 220
you can develop tires if ya like, I like using what already works, some very keen engineer types agree that zr tires may be good closer to 300mph, its all application specific, on salt
for what lsr does, many zr tires have worked
flawlessly
my tires were meticulously inspected after all
my runs this year, cleaned, measured etc
they literally look brand new
avon is helping another racer on salt,
they spec'd zr tires for his 240+ aspirations
another manufacturer, recommended against
gp tires, and recommended stock type zr
tires that come on busa
