Does anyone know of a tire (90/90/10 or similar) that is rated higher than J speed? Been searching around and not much luck

Needed to have a tire with speed rating higher than J for running at Bonneville.

Let me know how the tire fairs after the run. It's hard to find a true 65+ 10" tire. I ran the sl26 and s1s but they're not l rated. It's what keeps me from doing any kind of real speeds on my elites. My zx50s use 130/90 12 Pirelli diablos that I wish they had in 10s.

Here's a P rated continental. I've run the conti-twist sports on my ch80 before. Absolutely loved them on the street but tread wear was quicker than the conti zippy's I usually run. Unfortunately the smallest tire the conti-twist race comes in is 3.5x10, which I believe may be a touch too big if your planning to install them on an af16/af05.

This kind of statement is no help at all. I've used Kendas a lot, with no problems at all, at speeds up to 65. It's a big company in Taiwan.

Why did you say "Stay away from Kendas."

Because kendas are extremely known for cupping and at higher speeds that's down right dangerous. Near all the kendas ive used have gone to junk within 2-3k miles. While you may be willing to risk your life with them i am not. Personally speaking I will never use them again. That's the help I was giving. Thanks for your concern.
