Got my new kenda rear tire and it sucks!
I just rode my 50 witha brand new kenda millville rear tire on it and it sucks for street...if I lean the bike over the rear end starts to slide out . One time I fell because the tire slid out on me ....plus I cant wheelie for **** now..I used to have alot of tricks and pretty long wheelies now Im lucky if I can get 300 feet!!!...I tried burning out on it to even it out but it didnt work that good..Im thinking about getting pirellie super motard tires for my 50 but I dont know if they would get me though any trails...do you thing I could rock pirelli super motard tires on the sand and dirt or would it have no traction at all...after all super motard is where u race on half dirt/street so they should work alrighT???

Same thing happened with me, then about 2-3 days of practicing later, you become so much better. Improvment with a street tire isnt sudden, you have to get used to it dude.
Just keep your Kenda tire.
I have a Cheng Shin rear tire and i can handle pretty good on trails, but your never going to get as good traction as a knobbie tire.
Just keep practicing dude, it takes time to get used to the tire. You need to just get out there and cruise around.

ohhhh my bad, yea it'll get harder to wheelie with those knobbies, try it for a couple of days and get used to it.
But the street tires are much much better for whoolies.
