Z rated Diablos

Robinashman · 14-Apr-2009, 13:12

Just noticed my new DD bike is fitted with ZR rated diablos.

Will I have to buy new ones? gutted if so because there’s plenty of life left. This bike has been raced as is, is this an area that's strictly adhered too?

I used Z rated ones for a few meetings - just don't tell anyone....... !

I was told beforehand that I would not score points on Z rated tyres and that I could even be excluded from the meeting.

You have to love club racing...

Ouch, best put my hand in my pocket. Recon it's daft racing with a speed-limited tyre but hay ho don’t want to open any old debates.

Don't know when the bike was last raced, could have been last year!!!

Just seems a shame to bin a perfectly good set of tyres, I'll be bringing the tyre changing gear to Anglesey so gives me something to do Sat day.

save them for trackdays.

for anyone contemplating olds tyres for Anglesey can i suggest against it!!

The surface is really abrasive and it hurts when your tyres give up

Just to confdirm that any bike found to be running ZR rated tyres could well find itself excluded from the meeting and not scoring any points.
