Can anyone help with info on 18" tyres for P5. Bike is a Kwaka 1000 running 18" Ecco race wheels from that period. Can you still get 18" slicks or what would be a good treaded Radial to use? I am new to the game for next season and just after a heads up on tyres, otherwise I'll have to go to 17"wheels like most others do but would rather not for now.
You can get 18 inch slicks, not sure where you would get them in Melbourne though. There isnt the choice available to you in compounds in 18 inch compared to 17 inch which is why the guys on 500s should be able to use 17 inch rims but only WA seems to want to support this. This is another case of they were used in the period (17inch) but you cant use them now. This was proven to MA but still got rejected. Yet another anomoly in the rule structure.
