I use old rears all the time, just don't get any with repairs like plugs in them. There great for practicing burnouts. Wallmart and JoAnn"s Fabrics carry some fur but I've never seen anything like tennis ball material either 3m super 77 is the Haven't really messed with much suspension set -up, been messing around more with tire pressures

out of about a dozen rear tires i've had on my gixxer only one has been new....i've never really had a problem with used tires, i aint scared of no damn plug, i've had tires with mulitple plugs and haven't had a problem(but if you put a plugged tire on your bike and it ***** up it aint my fault).....tires are expensive- free is for me

I use old race tires, I get them for cheap. I once had a tire with 2 plugs in it, did 4k more km with it, and never had a problem.

I've only put on new tires have have gone threw 8 rears. I just don't like havin to change them all the time. and when I want to go out and corner I can. Just my 2 cents, everyone else up here uses used tires though. I am using a use tire to stud for the winter, I have 427 in the rear and 250 in the front tire
