55s on the back
07/28/13 3:19 PM

Has anyone gone to 55 in the back? I'm wondering if it will affect the TC. I just got rid of the Metzlers and got the new Q3 (which is an AMAZING tire) in the 55 profile. Haven't noticed anything being weird but have heard about various other company's TCs being affected by changing tires.

The 55 does give much sharper steering, quicker turn in. And the bike understeers much less. I'm glad I changed to the 55s, to the point that I don't care if it affects the TC or not. I'm keeping 'em. It would be nice to know tho.

Btw - If anybody else is thinking about new hoops, I can unequivocally recommend the Q3s. Maybe the best tire I've ever owned.

Hey Norcal
Got a 55 going on with a 43 rear sprocket to comp for the jump from 55. Will not have the bike for a few days but once it returns I'll let you know. I plan to post Dyno numbers!

I did, yes sir!
Then I ordered akra headers and a PC5 and booked in for a Dyno tune. And then I financially fell to my knees!

Bike is currently with Mitch at Frankenstein power sports, who is overseeing her transition from bike to missile! I've put paint on hold for next year!
