Shinko Ultra Soft with long wb?

This may be a stupid question, but no one here has run the ultra soft, or dared try, with long wb, over 64 inches, like at 68, or 69. has anyone tried it, in comparison to the MCR2? For an all motor application, at 185 or so HP? If it worked , what tire pressure? Rider weight, and short times............, thanks.

I run it at 65-66" and No problems I actually could not believe it hooked up?? but even spraying at night it hooked just fine.... I hope when the big motor goes back in it will still hook... You can not beat the pricing...

No, and actually it was a little cooler later in the year and I seemed to pick up 1-2mph... the outer circumference seemed to be larger which could help in compensate that... ? not sure
