I posted this under Hook up tire issues, please read it
I have tried to stay out of this but this is to me crazy. I know of 2 people racing Pro Street Bikes in the begining of May, both bikes are built and tuned by 2 of the top guys around with in a weeks time both used thenHook Up tire. One never even made it a inch, the rim spun on the tire , smoking the rubber against the rim, at least 3 more passes were made and it spun the rim bad, some of the passes it left the line and spun the rim bad up top. All the passes made were with more than enough air pressure, the last pass had 12lbs. This tire was put on by someone at the track and had all the correct machines to do so.
the other bike was at what most think the best hooking track in the country and again had more than enough air pressure in the tire, his bke had the same thing happen as the girl who crashed happen. The tire came off the rim. The rider was able to keep the bike up and some how very little damage came about this
For those wondering both bikes were not the same make of wheels
I saw the first part of my post first hand as I was 4 ft from the bike, it looked totally strange, Trae came up and said man he spun the rim bad on that pass. So anyone who runs this tiire on a high HP bike is taking a chance on their own safety and life. Bikes can be replaced, riders cant.
No way no how would I ever put this tire on a PST bike, guys think about it, to many issues already have happened. I dont want to post a negative response but I have read to much and this to me is crazy.
One more PST had issues I know of but I dont know the full details so I wont comment on something that I dont know to be fully true, but for sure he had some majors issues as well.
I dont go on PB as I dont agree with the person who runs that site, so if a post is started over this topic please feel free to post what I have stated as this is 100% accurate info.

This is happened to now at least 3 different wheels, air pressures were not to low as a some have thought, if someone thinks this is a one off issue you are mistaken, it for sure is not. I for one really dont understand why anyone would consider running this tire on a dragbike with high HP and maybe even one with not so much HP, I would not put myself at risk if I had any of this info that is now coming out. For those who run it all I can say is your are putting yourself at risk and I wish only that the racers remain safe. For people who are none na sayers, this tire has a issue and thats the bottom line
