QUOTE(Randal @ Jul 26 2004, 11:24 AM) Actually I never had a new set of 210's, I got the ones I have (used) from Jim Hayes when he quit racing. Most had reasonable rubber left, but timing wise were over a year old. But even those old 210's worked reasonable well. When I was running the cantelever tires all Hoosier had was an R45 tire. The Hoosier guy tried to tell me they were equal to the GY R210 but I was unwilling to risk the $ for a full set to find out. I run mostly local events so I bought used tires from various suppliers. I did on 3 occasions buy new R210s and was dissapointed to find the used tires felt faster. I attributed it to improper break in of the new tires. The used full tread ones I was buying were heat cycled and the new ones were just run with no attempt to heat cycle. No place to do it locally. No numbers just seat of the pants. YMMV MIke T |
