tire question
I can get a shinko stealth for 1/2 price new in 180 55. Would that be ok for the strip instead of a 190 55?

That is the 003. Just make sure you get an ultra soft. A lot of people run the 180 because it spreads the tire out and you have a flatter profile, so more of a contact patch. Plus it is probably a little lighter than the 190.

IF he is SWB a normal 003 will be just fine, no need for an ultra soft. I've run that on mine with zero issues at SWB

Thanks guys. I am at SWB for now. It is just a normal 003, and at 66 bucks, it made my day.
