What are some good track/race tires for the grom? I had my grom on the race track for the first time a few weeks ago running Michelin Power Pures, and they did not have much edge grip. As soon as I would start to touch a knee to the ground, the front end would start washing out. I normally use Dunlops on my R6, so I thought about switching to TT93's. Does any manufacturer make a good slick tire for minis?

18lbs? Is that due to the way slicks are designed, or do you run DOT tires that low too? I was pleased and certainly getting some heat in the tire at 29psi front and rear, but I plan on going down in the front for next time.
BJS, what pressure were you running? Have you tried them again at a different pressure?

Pirelli Diablo is Pirelli's best touristic option for track imo

Ive tried all types of pressures. Lower and higher than what I'm running. Ive found the 18.5/17.5 psi warm works out the best for me.
on my power pures i ran like 20lbs front and rear. Those tires blow on the track anyways. If you hang of like a monkey and use as little lean angle as possible than yeah your good. Once you really start leaning on that tire it will give.

What does everyone like for rain tires? The PMT rains look pretty pricey for my budget mini...

Where are people buying their PMTs? And what size do you get. I see drow motorsports have them, but the size didn't seem correct.
Thanks,

You can buy in european websites the conti twist race and they will send it to you without custom charges.

Yes, those are the best, but in europe some race regulations exclude tyres that are not oem size... So if you want to race in those races, you have to keep 120 and 130 size... Then the contis are the best available.

Agreed, great tires at a very low price, at least here in France.
The front is fine but the rear will wear out fast if used on the road, I think I got about 1000 miles before it looked like a slick.

You can buy Dunlop TT93 on Webike in the 120/130 sizes.

Just curious, for those of you who run stock rims. Do you run stock tire sizes too? Would turn in be quicker on a 110 front?

I run the 110/120 combo and it's definitely a noticeable difference with turn-in.

What size are you looking for? for the groms we have always ran 100 fronts and 120 rears no issues,
now pmt developed the 130/75-12 specifically for the grom rear and still run the 100 front
