What is the fastest you have all had your ZR-1's up to? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I have gone 162mph, However a couple of month ago, I was running at 120mph, letting off, down around between 110mph, the front tire blew out... coasted to a stop with only bending the rim...Tire was new only around 2000 miles on it. Needless to say, I am no gun shy of going that fast again... I was very lucky not to have done more damage...

I took the tire in to find out why it blew, no holes,, I was told the tire was under inflated... I was running at 30psi, I was told I should of been running at 40psi..Still hard to believe 10psi would of made much of a differance.. Oh well, live and learn...an expensive lesson on my part. :shock:
