most racers on here gonna frown on riding a racing mower on the street, a parade is another thing, but if you must, what is wrong with the tires you have mounted now??

We gave up riding in parades,our machines dont go slow enough,we ended up burning the belt. We never changed tires for the parade either.

You don't see race cars in parades race mowers should be the same..... Remember in the news the drag car in a parade showing off killing some folks doing it. You want a race mower in a parade make a cool trailer and pull it.

I agree with George. If you want your racer in a parade put it on a trailer. Think about the kids along the parade route and how loud a couple mowers with open exhaust can be. Besides why put the extra wear and tear on your mower?

  But we don't have full sized race cars or drag cars, do we? But things can go rong that we can't control. But I still don't see a thing rong with mowers being in a parade.  What is so bad with these pics?

Its about safety and a great sport that doesn't need bad publicity. That same goes for any motor sports. It only takes a couple idiots out tearing up the street and have something bad happen. That gives a bad name for everyone involved with a fast mower. Think I am joking just look at the bad rap many kids get with there little imports with body kits.
