Tires?

I know this is a personal opinion but i'm curious what everyone is running as a rear tire. And don't say free ones. I get free ones all day long. I know it's probably all just in my head with brands and psi but i do so much better with sport touring tires. I had a metzler m4 z2 or something like that. They don't make the tire anymore and now i have a bridgestone bt014 and i suck. I can't do anything with this tire. I can't land tricks like i could with the metzler. So now i just "bought" my first tire for my stunt bike. I got a dunlop d616. It's gotta crazy tread pattern on it, its like a rain tire. Also how about 180's vs 190's? I'll let you guys know how the d616 works out

Re: Tires?

I have a Metzler M3...next time I'm probably gonna try a Continental attack or something though. From what I hear they are pretty grippy but last a lot longer.

Re: Tires?

i had bridgestones on my 636 and just put a pair of pilot 2ct on. alot grippier and stable then the battlax. i like the way they ride but they seem bouncy. do you guys that run pilots feel that bounce too or are my wheels just not balanced?
