DOT Street Tracker Tires Anyone???

[Street Tracker]

What if I told you we could get DOT dirt track tires typical 27x7x19 and 27x7.5x19 in 3 compounds hard, medium and soft for $320.00 a set tax is included but shipping is not. How many of these could I sell you right now?

 

[Dead Roman]

320aPIECE?



probably zero.

Roman I would agree but this is for a set a front and a rear, now what do you think?

 

[racerdave]

Are they the Golden's that Carr is selling now?

That is what they are Dave.

Pic's look very similar to Maxxis. Have you seen them in person? I've been thinking about them, so I'd have a matched frt/rear. My Max on the rear is a CD3 and I think I'd prefer a CD5, a little harder. Thinking it may hold up a little better on the street. When I bought it from Davey Durelle, he talked me into a CD3. Saying a Max CD3 was the same as other's CD5. I wonder if it is what he had to get rid of?

Chris said they come in the 3 compounds and you can pick which compounds sounds like hard all the way around is the way to go on the street from the buyers end.

That's exactly why I haven't bought any yet, seems all you can get now for the 7" is the soft compound.

 

[Street Tracker]

Well Dick we can get you set up correctly. These are currently being tested on the street on a 1200 Triumph with great success!

Is a 7 vs a 7.5 easier to mount on these narrow rims we use? The 19 inch front mags are 1.850 wide, and I'm going to change over to 2.150 wire wheels when I get them laced up etc.

Thats is one reason many only run the 7's as it is quite a bit of tire for these rims, many have 7.5's on back like RustRocket also.

Donny are you involved with these now? Is the 27/7/19 available in the hardest compound? Have they been tested with a durometer to see if they are a CD7?

 

[Street Tracker]

Dave,
No I am not officially involved....yet, the hardest compounds won't be here until early February, have not seen the tests but will find out what they compare too.

Dave,

Straight from Chris on the particulars of the durometer readings see if this helps you out.

According to durometer readings I've taken in the past:

Maxxis and Goodyear CD5 read between 54-56 (A Scale)
Goodyear CD8 71-72
Unsure on a Maxxis CD3 around 40, although not a good choice for the street, in my opinion.

GoldenTyre CC4 is supposed to be at 56, although my first shipment appears to be softer than that. While DOT approved, I would not recommend for street use
GoldenTyre CC5 read 62 recommended street option
GoldenTyre CC6 read 68 recommended street option

I will say that the GT is made of natural rubber vs. synthetic in Maxxis and GY. I have found that the natural rubber of the GT's performed softer than the synthetics at an equal duro reading, but didn't show as much wear.

The above readings are for rear tires, as we decided to lower the fronts by 2 points on the duro. Front tires should read 54, 60, and 66 on the GoldenTyre.

 

[racerdave]

I'm guessing for rears you mean the 7.5 and front's are the 7's?

 

[angus67]

whats the date code?

 

[Street Tracker]

whats the date code?

I do not have that info as of yet.

 

[olddude13]

Just saw these tires in person talked to Chris they look just like Maxxis tires. I like the price

 

[Street Tracker]

Very cool olddude, I take it you were at the show?

 

[olddude13]

Yes i was there Just met Chris to day at the Cleveland cycle world show. The Goldentyre tires look nice! when i wear out my maxis i will buy some. To bad i just got some Goodyears.Just so you know I like the golden tyre for the price. The Dot stamp is nice but really doesn't matter to me. Also found out my maxxis are 2007's
