| As a new member, and owner of a DD class B bike now just a few thoughts on tyres. Please feel free to comment/ignore.
I know you have been using the pirreli option for a number of years, nowt wrong with that. The talk is of a new spec for next year.
Their have been a number of points raised:
Are any proposed tyre suitable - manufacturers market and produce tyres for specific use. CE marking etc. I am sure a motocross tyre would not be proposed by any manufacturer, but could be fun though!
Any new tyres would take getting used to - good for your riding skill? more of a level playing field for existing and new DD riders?
Cost - racing is NOT cheap, no matter what class.
Personal preference - is this just clever marketing? You have used brand B and have heard stories abut brand C that arent good, or vice versa. How many DD riders take a tyre to its perfomace limit? I have no idea, but one tyre for all does make skill/b*lls a telling factor.
Anyway, looking forward to a new season in a new class.
