What They Don't Tell You About MotoGP Tyres

[@terrycrawford1982]

Excellent video Dan, as always, love to see a deep dive into aero which is certainly the flavour of the month. I understand the regs limit what a lot of the manufactures can & cannot do. Would be good to share that knowledge with others.

Thanks Terry! Glad you liked it! Aero is something I really want to do 100% - I've got it on the list :)

Great video as always, please make a video about tyre pressure in MotoGP and the use of silver rim on the front tyre to accomodate the pressure (i think?)

[@absolutedan9173]

Thanks Ivan, I'll get that scheduled up ;)

0:05 tread is the part of a tire that is making contact with the road. Every tire has tread. What you mean is no tread pattern or profile

[@absolutedan9173]

Yep you got it, small error on my part that.

Come on Dan, you know smooth tire = smooth brain, at least on the street tire side of things. 😁
Great video though! This helps me help my friends understand race and street tire dynamics better than I have been able to using my own words!

[@absolutedan9173]

Thanks Captain! Glad you liked the video!!!

What about slicks with sand on the road compared with tires with tread/gooves? Do grooves channel sand in any way similar to water? I never ride in the wet and so maybe I ought to run slicks?
