just curious about what tires are the best for stoppies. i use metzler m1s but they like to slide. im looking to switch this year any suggestions?

 

good Q.. i need a new tire too might as well get good endo ones.. maYBE Dunlop 208?

 

Any soft compound race tire I prefer a slick. Just how I feel. Later on jk

i can't bust long endos....so maybe i have no business answering this question, but i think the metzlers are the best tires.......i wouldn't change to a 208.......keep the m1...............(a buddy of mine bust out long endos with the tires he pulls from the dumpsters behind bike shops........i think it's mostly the rider)

 

ive run the metzlers, and I think the Michelin Pilot sport is better. those things grip in the cold, wet, snow!! (well, maybe not snow).

Check em out

 

i give my 110% trust to a michalin pilot sport!!

 

I get DOT rated race tires used from track riders and from the back of bike shop dumpsters or from whoever. Like Nags said a while back, the best tire is a free tire.

metzlers suck .... burn one out till it pops and you got metal everywhere... all in your sprocket and chain wrapped up all over everything. dunlop 207's and 208's work great for me.

 

rensports are the ****.

 

i use a pilot race in front... it hooks on anything.......but watchout on cold race compound they are useless until u get them warm

 

but i will never buy another race tire for the back

 

Yeah I have learned that lesson a couple times.

I used to swear by Metzler M1's, and would still recomend them. Never had any luck with the Pilots, but Joe Brown rocks em', so they must be pretty good (but he lives in South Florida, I live in Maine and never had good luck with traction when I tried the pilot) But the last tire I got was a Pirrelli Super Corsa SC2 Race, and will be buying another one! I bought mine new (I think the used ones suck) and love it! Grips everytime, and is real stable in high speed stoppies, no tank slap problems to speak of either. But everyone rides differant, what works for 1 person doesnt always work for someone else!

 

i hear round ones work REALLY well..




i would get a race tire, been usin d208 and that works fine but i have WAY more trust in a race takeoff....never ran a slick, i would like to buy a set though..anyone???

 

Havent heard good things about slicks. Very unpredictable from what I have been told. And I hate Dunlop fronts!

 

pilot all the way. never scared to lift up the *** end. Dont ever buy a dunlop.

 

I'LL Dig back tires out of the dumpster, stick 10 plugs in them. but a front tire. f.u.ck. that. brand new pilot sport - im not playing when it comes to squeezing teh front brake @ high speed & worryin' about it not gripping.

my pilot sport is on the wear bars, another brand new one for next season.

 

pirelli blue dot, its a race compound and works in a lot of conditions, we even ran them in the rain and they hooked up. we put them on first before we even ride the bikes. streetfighterz cardwell

 

all i ever run is pilot sports you put a dunlop on and you better buy a casket cause you're goung down but if you want to buy pilot sports you better hurry up michelin stopped making them and their replacement tires for them suck

 

i use a metzler rennsport super soft tire with 32psi. i never had it slide on me, and i've done passenger stoppies from speeds over 75mph.
