10milmike Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ok. I never really tired different size tires. I see lots of guys on the east coast running 18x8x10 or 19x8x10. I was running a 20x10x10. But I sold them. I used my buddy's 20x8x10 at the track a few times and picked up a tenth. So a what would the advantages be of a 19x8x10 or a 18x8x10?

aleyesonme Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Big advantage, from the hole all the way thru...u will come out harder therefore giving u a better 60' etc...now if ya bike is still pulling with the 20 inch tires then u should be fine on ya e.t. without running out of gear, but if u are running out of gear then the smaller tire will hurt u on the big end...by u having a 10 mil 20 might be the idea, but if u wanna come out hard try the smaller ones...I run 18.5, right down the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10milmike Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 My best 60' is 1.39 but average I am pulling a 1.4. With the 20x10x10. Bike is not running out of gear on the top on with my gearing. Gearing is a 2.23 ratio. Going to buy 19x8x10 also to see what it does.

2strokes4u Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I run 18x10x10 on a 10x8 rim. The holeshot is strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10milmike Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 If you run a 10" wide tire on a 8 " Rim that changes your roll out. What is your roll out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strokes4u Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Not sure on rollout. How would you measure it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10milmike Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Take a tap measure around the whole tire. Like my 20x10x10 were a 65 roll out on a 9"rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10milmike Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Are you guys running 660' on the street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Sorry to hi jack your post. But I have a question. Bryan we really never talked tires before. Now I am running 17/38 that is a 2.23 ratio almost the same as a 18/40 that is a 2.22 Ratio. Now I was running a big 20x10x10 with a 65 roll out. Just bought 20x8 10. So what would the advantages be of a 19x8x10 or a 18x8x10? Since all I do is run 1/8 mile. Ok. I never really tired different size tires. I see lots of guys on the east coast running 18x8x10 or 19x8x10. I was running a 20x10x10. But I sold them. I used my buddy's 20x8x10 at the track a few times and picked up a tenth. So a what would the advantages be of a 19x8x10 or a 18x8x10? I'll point you in the right direction. It has to do with the basic laws of physics/laws of motion. That information is easily found. The harder part is finding the information that applies to your questions. Now, the hardest part is applying the information in a correct manner to get your results. I would like to hear some of your research on the subject, put into layman's terms on the subject! I was to easy on you the last time. LOL!

SlowerThanYou Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Lol haha it sure was Bryan. I understand the less of rotating mass. Guess it time for me to do my homework teacher. There's a couple more laws that apply & maybe more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
