[QUOTE="user 213, post: 1438985, member: 213"] [USER=68615]@infrared[/USER] - Tire pressure will always have a role to play. I used to autocross in DMod long ago. I typically ran 32 psi in my CT on the FJR, about the same as I would for similar load in a sports car. As RossKean said and showed, contact patch is still greater. More important, the tread design on the CT with more tread blocks has a secondary feature of grip/release of those tread blocks that allows better grip on marginal surfaces like tar snakes and loose conditions. The CT doesn't step out like a typical moto tire will under hard cornering when you hit tar snakes or a little sand or gravel loose across the pavement. That has saved me a couple of times pushing hard in the twisties and hitting a tar snake that was nasty. Safety wire has it's applications and I use it. But not on motorcycle drain plugs, for me.
