Slicks vs. DOT Race tires

[JimWilson29]

I'm curious Jim. Why switch from 16.5's? Tires harder to find? No more development? 17's just plain better now?

I only ask because I'm contemplating putting 16.5's on my 1098.

TIA

S.

Yes, Yes, can't answer if they are better yet. And another factor is the price. They are significantly more expensive.
