But there is a wall of resistance to keep the series using a tyre from a manufacturer that gives bugger all to those riding in the series, that still insists we advertise their product on the bikes. So PLEASE, dont lets have talk about keeping the series economical when the tyre costs could be slashed in an instant but WONT be.

As one of the CC naughty boys I have changed my ZRs to Hs and will be pretty miffed if we're to change but if it means safer and more cost effective racing then I like this Maxxis idea.
Pair of hardly used Hs anyone?

FREE THE CC4, we're just stupid not cheats!

Its an easy error, tread pattern is the same, no one seems to know why ZR were allowed then suddenly they were not. Possibly they are easier to get hold of from anywhere.

Not ridden on maxxis yet!

I have done various TD's with Ghost this year and the last one at Pembrey
Phil didn't have problems getting heat into the tyres and the grip looked good
while my diablos moved around alot trying to stay with Phil.

Iv'e seen plenty of ZR rated tyres fitted to slower lighter race bikes and on the road

on my class b bike the h rated tyres have been great, just the way i like them, maybe the class a bikes should be aloud a 'grippier' tyre which could help to widen the gap a bit more.

you can ride as fast as you, your bike and your tyres will allow, any faster and you may crash!

Seriously, give it a rest on the tyres.

Is it SO obvious that there is a conspiracy between Pirelli, DSC, Holbeach, New Era, Shell, Marlboro, Ducati and Chris Bushell to make it as hard as possible to buy tyres, they even had to make up a story about a letter of liability. Its been going on for the last 5 years!!

Simply put together an alternate proposal from another supplier, submit via the right channels, in the right way and be done with it.

Maybe?
