Bit of a late reply..sorry. Anyhow, I run a 160 Pilot Power, and it's awesome on the track. As mentioned before, I ran out of ground clearance before I ran out of tire, and she's super agile thru the tight, twisty bits. All those guys who are laughing and pointing at the "little" tire, ended up following it thru turns three thru seven. 120 up front, so turn in is very linear and predictable. It's a nice combination, if you don't let your ego get in the way. And, as mentioned before, if you start going faster, bump up the hp and torque, you may NEED to go to a bigger tire, but until then, you'll have a lightning quick track weapon that will catch a lot of people off guard. Just my two cents.....
