Man what a tire...DRAGTEC
Ok fellows heres some good info here. I previously have been running the shinko u-soft on my turbo busa and just installed the dragtec...Man what a lighter bettor hooking tire! Normally when I roll into 8 lbs(265hp} in second gear it "blows the tire off". Not this time! My bike now pulls the front up ever so nicely...I can't wait to try it on a sticky track and lay some boost to her...My 07 14 will get this tire when the stock one is done.
If you would like to try this tire call Dwayne at cycle concepts---$180.00

How much did the dragtec weigh? I thought it is also 13.5+ lbs...maybe 1 lb lighter than a Shinko. Schnitz actually puts the Dragtec at 13.9 lbs...and I have personally weighed the U-Soft at 15.

Shane I didn't put the tires on the scales, but I had one in each hand and the Dragtec was noticeably lighter...The biggest thing though is it "hooks so much bettor"...It probably wont last as long though.
