Anybody have these duro flat track 8"

[Orangecnty250r]

I was thinking of trying these on one of my builds that I want to go with the smaller look. I cant find Hoosier 8"s These Duros dont look to be the same quality. Hoosiers are nice flat rigid looking. Whats everyones opinion on these

I have those on my Flatt Track 4 wheelers and I've picked up almost 1 second a lap plus the 2006 championship. There are the hoosier guys but at $100 a tire that's no deal and the duro's last up to twice as much for about half the price. Hell, I did 3/4 of the season on one set of tires and we race on asphalt!!! plus practice days.
They are really competitive in terms of lap times. So I say...GO FOR IT!!!!

TORKER.

I've got a pair for my Z. One thing is their kind of taller then they advertise, its more like a 22. They do slide great, and definitely do not wear like a soft hoosier or american racer either. The only thing is, the pictures are a little deceiving the gaps in between each triangle are actually quite deep. They are a good tire though, and I'd buy another set when these wear out.

I have been looking at those for my 200X for awhile.Nice tires!!!

I want some of those tires. I bet there very zippy on hard surfaces and probably hook up well on semi-soft dirt.

I've converted all my mx tires to flat track tires, I've got a couple sets of duro's, Ohtsu's, hoosiers and I just orderes 2 sets of american racers. So far nothing on the dirt oval track compares to hoosiers except american racers. Duro's and Ohtsu's are way to hard of a compound, probably great for ashphault.

You can now get hoosiers for 9" wheels thanks to Rath Racing so that should help out a few people who don't want to shell out the cash for 10" wheels. With the right compound hoosiers will last. I used the same set all summer and used a soft compound.

OC, do you have a pic of the tire you are looking for? I know a few dealers who may have something laying around.

hey billy are you sure they are that tall? i could see them being closer to 19 or 20, but 22? i was wanting to get some for my quad but if they are that tall defintely not...

[Billy Golightly]

I ordered the 20x10x10 size I think it was from Dennis Kirk. And compared to a pair of old "regular" 20in holeshots they are quite a little taller. This isn't a real good picture, but the front tire is suppose to be a 23.5 it measures a little over 24. You can see the rear tires are pretty close to the size of the front. If I go over to the shop today I'll try and remember to measure them for you.

I have 18" duro's I will measure them next time I got to my storage. I love those tires, they are great on a hard, dry track. Next time I go to rausch creek, I'm gonna bring them, to see how they do there. I know they work good a chattsworth. I tried ohsta h-traks there and they are way too stiff and hard to a tire, I rode one lap and the tires gave so little, I was afraid I would bend the "trike racing" rims they are mounted on.

Ive wanted a set of Duro's or Hoosiers for my 200X for a while now but was to cheap to buy a set,, but I pick up a set of Hoosier's cheap last week,, cant wait to mount them up... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2349895&rd=1,1

Hoosiers are so thin, you don't want to ride them too far from home. The Duros are pretty heavy duty.
