Thought this was a good picture from the last race. Funny part is that a flip-flopped 2 laps later in the same turn, but the photographer had walked away. bummer.

I run Michelins which don't come in a size that fits the 4.5" rear rim, so we run the f3 rear which is 5". you can use 160 DOT's on a 5" as well. Some people go wider, but there is no real reason to run a 180 an an SV. The F3 wheel also allows us to use caprive spacers, the first time you change your stock rear wheel you will understand why.
Nice pic Stingray, Gery Rather is good.
