hah, you have the 04 10r. (I should have paid attention to the Orange!) I have a mindset of 190/55/17 because of my 06. I have a set of Q's in my shop that are 190/50's waiting to be tried out also. Right on.

is it not god to run with a plugged tired? i keep a tire plug kit in my tool kit and i have run about 6 thousand miles with a plug. i never had any problems, my avon was so gummy it picked up nails all the time on my 9r and i had that tire plugged multiple times. any feedback? is this dangerous or something?

a plug kit is a good thing to carry for emergencys.i myself would not trust a plugged tire at the speeds are bikes are capable of. the speed rating on ur tire is out the window when u plug it.and u cant do track days on a plugged tire they don't allow it.

i have not been to a track day yet neither that info was passed on from freinds who have.they seperate the riders into groups based on skill level then rotate the groups through out the day. so your group will get x amount of laps during your rotation.
