BB-banshee171 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 The 19's were borrowed. I was gonna order some end of this week. So you saying the 19s are better? 8" wide or 10"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Only the biggest of motors need a 10" wide tire. 95% of asphalt bikes need only a 8" wide. As for the diameter, with that set-up. I would run the 18's, but you already know what the 19s will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-banshee171 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Not sure what it's gonna do when I add the 2.68 straight cuts, just know at 500 when I crossed the line it was maxed out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't my 1st asphalt rodeo. We have around 1,000 runs on asphalt. But want to gear it to run a full 1/8th when I go to one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I understand that, I've ran 1/4 mile with 5 gears. I don't need to sell you anything, take my advice or not. I have a successful background in drag racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-banshee171 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 And I'm taking your advice, this is all new to me. I'm been racing dirt for years and just trying this now. I appreciate all the info and will be putting it to use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't rush into anything, do your research. There's plenty of good asphalt information on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10milmike Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Bryan is back.. Yes listen to Bryan he might be grumpy but he is very knowledgeable. He helped me over the last two years.

10milmike Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sorry to hi jack your post. But I have a question. Bryan we really never talked tires before. Now I am running 17/38 that is a 2.23 ratio almost the same as a 18/40 that is a 2.22 Ratio. Now I was running a big 20x10x10 with a 65 roll out. Just bought 20x8 10. So what would the advantages be of a 19x8x10 or a 18x8x10? Since all I do is run 1/8 mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
