Differnt style of control with a change of tire.
I bought my bike from a repo dude and the rear tire was done. I got hooked up with a harley davidson 210 tire for free so I rode with that. Tire was a beast lasted for a year no problems. Got down O's to the left down and a bunch of idle stuff. But the tire finally needed to be which so I bought a Bridgestone 180. That tire was one of the top in that pole on SL. Got to the lot and its like a whole new game for me. The Bp is alot higher, and my bike wants to O the the right. I'm bliping the throtle everywhere just to keep it up Just plain fustrated I know that seat time is the key to most ploblems. Just wanted to see if anyone has gone threw this. And I Just wanted to put out here that the Harley tire was pretty awesome.

yeah dude.No lie I can send you a pick of the tire. I would have to send it to you email because I use my phone to log on in here. I' m the only dude that stunt rides in my town. So I really didnt know any better about tires I thought as long as I could throw it up its all good. The guys here at the local cycle shop think I might have found something that might actually be worth trying. The tire had monster side walls too LOL. Anyways I'm picking up a 2004 zx10r tomorrow pretty freaking stoked.

Congrats, on the zx10 man, wicked bike powerwise, wheelie monster, that got me thinking why i dont see people stunting them. The 636 is more popular. Weird...

i suspect because you are only doing circles to the left that your new tire doesn't pull to the right but rather your old one gradually started pulling to the left and you got use to it ...
when ever i stunt a new tire i lower the pressure alot for a few days then as it gets broken in i put it back up to 20 pounds because you get use to stunting on a bald tire so the new one feels alot harder because of all the tread

my bad guys went back to shop to look at the tire and its a Dunlop d407 200, I thought it was bigger cause it has 2.5 inch side walls. The tire says Dunlop on one side and harley davidson on the other. Do you guys run 180s or 190s for your slow stunts.
