Just got my Pirelli tires, what psi?
Just got my Pirelli tires, what psi?
I just got my Pirelli tires in! Only 16.99 a piece from motorcycle-superstore.com! They are size 3x10, anyways my question is anyone else running these or similar tires? What psi are you running for maximum wheelie performance?
Re: Just got my Pirelli tires, what psi?
those high knobbys suck for ridding wheelies. feels like you're ridding on 1 inch rubber fingers while you're up on one wheel, the bike just won't ballance. We went on a ride the other night and I felt so helpless cause I couldn't ride a wheelie with the new millville's I just got the day before. I even tries to smoke off the ***** just to ride a wheelie, but it was no use, the best tires to go with in my opinion is either the stock tires or moped tires. I put a 3.50x10 moped tire with a tight *** tread pattern on yesterday and was ridding 1 mile+ wheelies. I left the front millville on for riding through dirt and grass for stability, I dont think it would be wise to have a moped tire on the front unless you were riding street 100% of the time.
