Need Help finding. Awhile back a fellow VRCCer posted a bunch of pic of his bike. It had a dark side performance tire. It looked almost like a drifting tire. (Yokohama it thought) Did someone save that tire? Any help would be appreciated. I did do a search with no successes. Merry Christmas. iluvemybikeSPAM@gmail.com REMOVE SPAM

Sorry Dougs, didn't save it.  I use the Falken 205/65/16.  It's called a 512 I believe.
Here's a pic.

You might be talking about STEELERS-Rude Dog's tire.  It's a Yokahama tire.  Check this thread here (it shows pics of that tire).....

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

I just installed a Yokohoma ENVigor 205/60/16. Only rode about 5 miles so far around few turns & did some twisting in a parking lot & could hardly tell the diff from a MC tire.

That is a great looking car tire for motorcycle application.

Expensive as hell.

Two different grades of rubber. Depends upon application.

I'd like one myself.
