180km/h yes.
Clubman, push button start, 6 speed, on a big enough track they just reach it.
They also run radiators on them.
god go-karts look funny with mini radiators hanging off the front of the engine, lol.

but the 32's on the front do it slightly.
im just gunna rotate next meet.
and i run the medium inserts that came with them.


and with the go-kart factor, my mates tyres only did it after about 3 meets at the track, and we flogged the butt outta his on race day. Man the clubman 125's go good. specially Leanne Ferriers.
Nup i got cs-27's all round and they are working great... no problems so far, and i use the same blue inserts that came with the tyres

Sorex needs warmers, I've been told.

I agree that warmers a great for sorex, but not nessasary. I generally don't bother with warmers even if the tire does need some heat. just do a lap or two before your race and keep turning.. it does work a bit.. enough to help anyway.

Sorex do have a narrow temp band as far as performance is concerned. you may like the feel of pits better, they also work good but will work better (than sorex) out of their temp range. I have no exp with takeoff but if some ppl get them to work (I belive clarks run em) then they should be as good as anything else
