What are the best street tires for dirt racing?

Answer by  MarkT (42)

Pirelli scorpion syncs will work well on gravel and are great on the seal as well. But if you are racing you probably need two different bikes.

I would suggest kenda k761 dual sport tire. The nylon ply construction gives it both street and off road grip. It is dot approved and has an H rating at 130 miles per hour.

In my opinion the Kenda K761 is the best handleing, best traction on both dirt and pavement. It handles well in the rain and on dry pavement with little noise and the wear properties are excellent. I prefer it over any others I've tried. The tread is self cleaning in the mud and quiet on the street.

Don't do it. Racing tires and street tires are made with entirely different parameters, requirements and philosophies. Racing tires don't perform or wear well on the street. Street tires don't handle well on the track. A second rate racing tire will hurt your chances and still do poorly on the street.

If I were you I would put Enduro tires or Michelin tires on your bike. They are the best made tires out there and they work great even taking them through dirt!!

You could run something like a Metzler Tourance or Pirelli scorpion syncs. You should look for a street tire with a deep, aggressive tread pattern for dirt grip.

Dunlop D606 tires are street-legal but designed for off-road riding A full-depth tread for off-road use yields excellent traction on hard-packed roads to soft-trails.

On the move most of the obstacles can be overcome, using the stock of inertia. At the same time, limited slip differential in the canopy turn slippery road can unexpectedly rigidly connected to each other left and right wheels, which will certainly cause uncontrollable skid. Another
