I ran either 38/40 or 40/42 in mine. I think it was the 40/42 combo, but that may have been the Hoosiers.

...or duct tape. :thumbup:

It almost looks like something came in contact, on course or the fender.
Stock Class?

Reminds me of my first set of race tires when I was a n00b. No camber and probably overdriving on crap v700s:

I ran 40psi front. I don't think that has anything to do with air pressure, that was all driver. Ignore the big gash in it and look at how the rest of the edge is burned off, as far as an inch in there is a ridge. Can you say understeer and floor it. Ok, maye 60psi could have saved the edge, but would have burned out the center. :lol:
