Re: tire preference?
Haha **** you stock lol. Its not an issue, like i said i was doing fine on the stock tire, put this new tire on from my friend and its been hell and terrifying lol.
i think the rubber is just bad, ive aired it down to 15psi and road on it to make sure i wore off the top layer incase something was just on the tire and its still REALLY loose any time you put power to the tires...
im going in to the shop to ask for tires tomorrow, hopefully they have some used ones they wil ldump, i have heard from a couple people that shops give away used tires sometimes so im praying lol

Re: tire preference?
I like my dunlop qualifiers .. Pilot Power 2cts are BADFUCKN *** too ..
There is no " Stunt tire" any tire will generaly work.. but the above have always done the trick for me..
I hit twisties so.. thats why i selected those.. but still use the same ones for the lots !

Re: tire preference?
I ran pirelli diablos on my first bike (cbr600F2) and I loved them but I wore the rear down pretty fast. The grip was awsome on it though. Even in the rain when the roads were wet I could clutch up that heavy *** F2 and the rear tire wouldnt ever break loose and would hook right up and never wanted to wash out. Only thing I didnt like about them is they wore to fast, but the grip was awsome. IMO

Re: tire preference?
I have been told to look into gettin the Pilot Powers, buddy just got em for his 750 and he said he LOVES them.
Diablos sound nice too except the wearing out too fast makes me a lil weary, i dont have the money to be constantly buying good tires..
BTW, that rear tire i got is a MEZTLER MEZ1 ......i dont know if its just the rubber in THAT tire, or if its that brand of tire, but i will NEVER put another one on again

Re: tire preference?
Haven't tried the maxxis rear, but I can tell you that an m3 or a qualifier blow *** compared to a power front.
Supercorsas are good but over-priced and over-rated. A new power will hook up just as good if not better than an sc1.
The M3 rear on the other hand is pretty good overall..... powers on the rear work well too, a lil hard to get used to but do every thing pretty well.
