Title: Tyres for oil track.
Post by: Quicksilver on April 07, 2008, 05:59:21 pm

What are good 18 inch tyres to run on oil track? I have been told to use wet weather road racing tyres. What do you blokes reckon.

Dunlop K180's ;) works ok on de-co too though hard packed is more suited.

Where would a bloke get some these Doc? Are they costly or fair priced?.

errr..I got mine from Rob Turton's Tyres for Bikes in Brisbane but that was a few years back..'bout 15 years actually. You'd probably have to ask locally but they are kind of expensive. I think it was around $170 back then so prolly over $200 now. Nice tyres though and I'll be saving my pennys for another soon as I get max life out of the current one  ;)
