Being in attendance last night at BRP, the majority were using 92s on the rf.

Are we going back to those? I know that Mark Richards has personally told me, Rockets were designed around 90s for the rf!

Under a lot of rules, the 92 is not legal there. It is never a good choice, imo. It makes the steering lazy.

Why would you think they were using them? Even Bronson had one!

Aside from ground clearance, I can't come up with a good reason. There is a lot of monkey see monkey do in racing that is often wrong.

May also have to do with tire rule, many of the spec or crate tires all have the same construction on all three tire sizes where open tires more times then not the tires are not that way.

I'd still want the shorter sidewall. But I been beat plenty by guys with humpers on the front.

Big tires roll over the bumps better...
