No such things... The closest thing to a full slick would be the semi-slick Michelin Boppers, or Pirelli SL26s (or is it 36...)...

dunlop and sava makes some. might not be available in the states, but that shouldnt stop you. all it is money and they can be at your door in under 2 weeks.

the dunlop TT91 are about the best race tire u can get. super soft for knee dragging action.

Except the TT91s aren't available in the right sizing...

they are if you are actually going to race on them. racers dont use heavy wide 120/130 tires.

Would the smaller size still fit on our rims, though? LOL, I race on 120/130s! (although info from this thread could change that...)

they fit just fine. thats what Vino's use.

if you look at the scooter racers from europe, they race the 80/80 and 90/90s. i think if there was a demand for the wider/taller 10" race tyres, there's enough market over there to warrant it.

hmmm... I may have to look into getting a set for next racing season if I wind up racing my scoot again...
