The 55s definitely make the Dragsters more fun.
Tyres on Dragster RR then RC:
I found the Metzeler Sportec M7 RR 190/55 R17 really nice for road use. the 200s do have the 'look at my wheel factor', but cornering is much more responsive with the 190.
Road Camber on Front: The Metzeler fronts eventually start chewing away with the road camber and when this starts, you don't have long to get a new tyre.
Le Froggie:
I've gone french this winter, and put on some Michelin Road 5 190 55s, and liking these equally as much so far. These are a more round shape tyre than the Pirellis, just like the M7s.
I believe we could see more Kms on the Road5 tyres than the Metzelwhores. Both will last longer than the Pirelli's.
Rear kms for me:
Pirelli = 4000kms.
Metz = 6000kms
Next summer, I'm going to go sticky. Any recommendations? (For Road Use.)
