When we switched from Hoosier/ Contis to the Pirellis... We didnt have anything stiff enough on either end. (Bars)
And I can say this ... Our front bar with both of our "smaller" blades flat ... Is still stiffer than a hotchkis front.
And it was the first time we ever ...busted out the "big" rear bar...
But the Hoosier/Conti were about ~650mm dia and the Pirelli's are 680mm dia, so could it be that the diffference in a baggier tyre (taller sidewall and possibly substantially different construction) means more suspension effect in the tyre and you need to run a much stiffer setup on bar to take account of it ??
