I don't know about the technical details, but people seem to like any tire they can get for cheap if they do a lot of burnouts, and the new dunlop qualifier.

Michellin Pilot Powers are great for the front and the back.

Pilot Powers are good But I found it hard to do smooth Burnouts with them, to sticky

Re: rear tire advice

yeah the qualifier I heard it's hard to do burnouts. I like my Maxxis supersports but mostly guys hit up local shops and get the tires that are pretty much new cause the squids think that a little tread is gone they need new tires

Re: rear tire advice

use hard tyres for burnouts, they last longer

Free tires are where its at, a tire is pretty much a tire, the dumpster tires are just broke in nice thats all, lol

I put one on this mornin, felt perfect, a little hard but reduce the tire pressure for the hard ones and use a lil more pressure for the soft ones...

if the rear tire starts hopping, you've got to sit down on the seat and force the rear tire down. Once the tire speeds up the tire should stop hopping. BTW PP's are good all around tires
