        Pretty sick tire do you have an extended swingarm? that's a 12 paddle and I rode a k5 with a 10 paddle and it was a nightmare to drag race at the dunes so I went to an 8 paddle and whipped some arse just wondering what you are going to do with the bike.

I us to run that exact tire. (12 cup viper). Only ran it for one season.. Went to a 8 cup turbo paddle.. Never looked back..   The 8 cup handles better in the air.. And turning

But my buddy loves it to death... He runs it now..
Given, he stays on the ground more than I do.. and goes in more straight lines..

I can still eat him alive in a drag race though, as I can leave one gear higher than him, due to tire spin...

Camo:
The straps on the front tires allow you to turn without it washing out while the ribs give it better steering and straightline than any other tire.

The rear... well, I'll just have to ride it first to chalk up as experience.

This bike will be for dune playing. Not much drag racing but I'll end up racing my buddies on their quads too I suppose. Bowls, carving, climbing, roosting my buds. LMAO

Camo:
Stock swingarm. I love wheelies. Maybe a bit of jumping too. Nothing too retarded though.

Ill tell ya what... I never ran a better tire for "roosting my buds" than that tire you have right there!..

was also killer for climbing...    hit a SOFT razor back, and just rol it on... 100% hook up..    my current 8 cup, will spin... then hook... making it an interesting ride sometimes...
