18/27 - that's interesting. Presumably the RR side belt will accomodate this with appropriate tensioner adjustment?

I guess the thing I really don't know is, what tyre split will maintain as near as possible to equal F/R tyre wear - all other things being equal.

. . . and what's with this "Mr Taylor" . . . very formal . . I thought I had you guys fooled.
Feel free to use my real name if you like - Gavin, Gav . . whatever.
Sorry Gavin

It should be 18/25, not 18/27.

one thing that you should keep in mind is, the smaller the is the less tyre wear.

at moorebank in 30 min finals start with 62.5mm 40shore rear, when finish it measure to about 59.5mm. when I start with 60mm by the time I finish it measure to 58mm, so you see the wear rate is constainly changing, not to mention if you are using different compound for f/r tyres it throws in more variable.

I think ODR is important but the driving style has alot to do with it as well, especially in endurance race it has to smooth to save tyres and fuel mileage also not to stress the engine. Happy Racing
