Looks more like an Armadillo to me, but what do I know.

[Industrial Cafe]

thanks man!

I wonder if they're any good.

[Industrial Cafe]

never mind,
            they cost too much.

Thats what I thought. I'm going with Bridgestone Spitfires. I bought Metzelers last time and they weren't that much better than the Bridgestones.

that's what I have now, but my 130 tire is too narrow for the 4.25'' wide rim I have it on.
It drifts under acceleration when I come out of the corners.

You sure that's not a loose swingarm?

[Industrial Cafe]

yeah, I'm pretty sure.

   The profile of the tire is stretched out flatter than it should be, so in a hard corner I go off the edge of the tread making my contact patch about an inch or so wide.
scary if you're not used to it- fun if you enjoy drifting.

also, my rpms go up and my friend says I'm sliding out and leaving a faint black line on the road.
