if the tire isn't made to drag race than you can't blame toyo.

Give us a more in-depth description of what happened. Personally I never skimp on tires. The best kick for the buck is "Avon" (Made in UK) I have been using them Since 1979. I feel if they are good enough for Rolls and Bentley they must not be bad. They have always had very good reviews. I also do not believe in, throwing away money on overpriced tires either. I have had Avons mounted on everything from my Z1R to my Gpz1150 to my KZ1300 and have NEVER had any complaints. They have excellent traction and also give me good millage. Those are traits which normally do not belong in the same sentence when referring to tires.

They work well on my car, as long as I stick to their intended usage.

This thread should be deleted unless more (and conclusive !?!?) information is given !!

I have a few questions about your situation. were you in fact racing on the tires. were the tires purchased new, which method were they installed using. are they tubeless tires. did the tire blow, or did the treads give. last but not least what type of Kawasaki are we talking about here.:unsure:

I know this guy. Been drag racing for many years and knows his way around a motorcycle. If he says he had a problem, I believe him. Hopefully, he comes back and lets us know moe about what happened and why.

My favorite part of the Chicago Marathon is the place where they hand out bananas to the runners. In the middle of the marathon, there is a block long stretch covered with banana peels. :woohoo:
