Re: good tire??
I know around here they all have a rack out back where they have a bunch of mint *** tires on it for free that most have the nipples on them and someone ran over a nail or something i have never bought a tire since i bought my bike and if they dont just talk to them and more than likely they will start settin them aside for you

Re: good tire??
That sucks. They normally have to pay $3 a tire to get rid of 'em. Shops around here could care less if we took their whole stack.

Re: good tire??
If your gonna pay for them I'd get the Pilot Road, or the M3's. Those are the 2 I really want to try because of all the good I've heard about them.
I've had pirelli diablo's and michelin pilot powers in the past and I like them but they wear too fast. Especially my pilot powers. My rear tire warn down to close to bald in the middle and its only been on for 3 weeks. The front is like brand new and was put on at the same time. Wheelies kill them though. I don't do burnouts eather. I do alot of wheelies but I didn't think they would wear like this.

Re: good tire??
who cares as long you get free tire and put em up on. yea it cost em like 2-3 dollars to throw away the tires so they want to save money and give us stunters away so i normally take 4-5 tires free a week from three shops.
