96bansheepilot Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 was wondering if slicks would be worth running or if american racers would be just as good or better. i've seen both on quads but it only makes sense to me to go w/ an 18 inch slick compared to an american racer tire because it would be lighter and you can make up the shortness of the tire w/ sprockets. rotating mass is supposed to be worth so much more than dead weight. i don't know how tricky the launches would be on the slicks though. it might buck you right off!!!

mgty3whlr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Most of the guys are running the american racers. They seem to hook up better than the slicks. NYUK had a set of hoosier slicks on his shee and couldn't hook up to save his life but when he went to the A/racers it was a night and day difference. As for weight the A/racers are pretty light. Gearing, I'd go with the taller tire because you'd be suprised at how fast you run out of gear at the top end. Quote
