advantages of street tires???

Would street tires allow me to do tighter circles? Granted, i just strated riding fiddies 4 days ago, but i can't get radius smaller than about 20 feet. It seems to me that more tire contact with the pavement would allow it to turn tighter circles. Am I right?

well i already had the balance from bicycles, and throttle/brake control from the big bike so learning wheelies on the fiddy was real easy.

there is an IRC tire in the parts unlimited street catolog. its an 80/90 tire and they are 11 bucks a piece. i have em now and they are pretty good tires, expecially for the price. they are called Jetty 383's or something like that. but you would be able to get em at any bike shop.

3.0 x 10 perellis. www.50stunt.com
They stick like glue, look sick, and raise the bike up a little so you can lean it over further when doin circles.

Re: advantages of street tires???

i use to rock the perellis too and they are really nice tires. but honestly i cant see a difference between the irc's i got now and them. and you can get a set for less than one perelli. plus if you buy them from a store they we get em through parts unlimited and there is no shipping
