I just got a new tire put on.. Rode it for about 40 miles and wanted to try it out. It seems when I clutched it up it wanted to go to one side, even after i dropped the tire pressure. How long do you guys wear in a new tire before stunting on it?

STUDROCK

when i get a new tire i do a fat burnout then i think its good to go and i go rip it up right away

sprocketz

run it through a few heat cycles i dont think theres any given # of miles but 4 0r 5 rides you should be good

if it's a new tire and pulling to the side, it's because the rear wheel isn't strait.

What brand of tire is it?

T-Dubby

Yeah it's gotta be not straight cause I wheelie straight outta the shop lol onmy new tire and I was out practice within 30mi or so.

danherz

a new tire? whats that? haha i havent had to worry about breakin in a new back tire for a while, but i do know what your going through usually after a couple solid stunt sessions it feels normal again to me

codenoid

i use bridgestone battleaxes...

If the wheel wasnt straight then Id definitely feel it riding crooked down the road..... i guess ill just keep it on 2 wheels a couple of days.

sprocketz

if the wheels not straight ofcourse its going to do that.........everytime i put a new tire on it sux for the first few rides and pulls on fast wheelies and slow ones its all over like i got 65psi or somthing

Not necessarily, even if you take your hands off the bars and the bike goes straight it doesn't mean the wheels straight. You'll compensate for it with your positioning and won't know it. Check out to see if it's straight, other wise the belt might be off in it, i've had a couple bad tires before.

KROHNSTUNTS

i have never went to either side off a new tire. my money is on the rim not being in there strait.

truestunna

Are you referring to 65psi in your tires? that beyond recommended pressure of the tire, for street and carving i run 36 in my front and 32 in my rear cold. That's the max you should need to run, if you're looking for stability drop it down to 20-22 in the rear.

How bad was your old tire? I know when I go from a flat spotted beat up old tire, to a new, round/pointy tire, the first few wheelies don`t feel right. Just something else that might be whats causing it.

codenoid

The old tire was worn, but I replaced it because it had a piece of wire jammed in it.

sprocketz

thanx for the advise i was being sarcastic....

truestunna

lol, i figured as much but you never know with some of the guys that come on here

I have had new tires do this.

If you can do rolling burnouts try this.

If the bike i pulling to the right do some burnouts to the left.

When I had a tire that had me pulling there was nothing I could do at that time. It was earlyer in my stunting experence. I know now that if the front tire isn't high enough it's hard to steer the bike during wheelis.

^that works, or like i said, you can straiten the wheel to fix it.
