That's wild! You're going to be on the starting grid and some people will think you forgot to take off your tire warmers.   :o

That's so funny, cuz a buddy of mine stopped by today and asked why I had the warmers on! ;D  I probably won't actually grid for a race on the red ones, but it would be funny!

So the tires are all show and no go (not available in race compound)?

Actually, the red ones are a compound very similar to a 208GP Dunlop, and I also have a harder compound (the Sport compound) and a softer one (the Sprint Compound) that are black.  So yes, the red ones will go on my bike for Supertwins if I fry the soft ones before the end of the day. ;)

They really do grip.  The only reason they are red is because they colored the silica in the tire, not the rubber.  You can color the silica without taking away it's integrity.  They feel really sticky right out of the wrapper.  Can't wait to try them out! :D

Ya better check the tracks regulations.  I know you can't use colored tires at VIR, CMP, or Barber,  

I think most tracks don't allow them. ;D

I'm sure you realize that these things are retreads, right?
