I know this has probably been covered before but I want to know what people prefer as the best tires out there... My pilot sport just got a screw in it on the day I got my new sprockets so I ordered a Michelin Pilot Power now...

But what my question was what is the best tires out there for stunting?

bikefreak600

i like the metzeler M1 sportec

...or anything but race takeoffs

swat1

whatever laying in the pile behind your local bike shop.

f4stunna

very vage questioin my friend. It's like asking which pu$$y tastes the best? Blond, brunet or red? Pilot power is nice, I preffer Pilot Road, very sticky great in rain, very stable/predictable and lasts for ever, but it sucks for burnouts. Best burnout skin I found so far was Dunlop 220. FKN thing lasted for ever, at least a week if not two. Most tires I experienced last about 2 days in burnouts.

the Metzlers are sweet but I just got a set of Bridgestone BTO14s and I think they're the best I've ever run. They warm up ultra fast and stay warm. I can run long stoppies with stock air pressure in the front with em. I imagine they probably suck for burnouts (whoever wants to do those) Plus currently I have 1500 miles on mine and the rear is wearing way better than I thought it would.
Plus they're awesome for corner carving, like I said before I don't have to run the front tire pressure lower so I can hit the twisties and go straight to stunting on the staightaways.

i like the supermaxx maxxis.... hard compound so it lasts and it seems to get good traction no complaints

i run a dunlop 208 after my tire came out from under me and broke my foot im going to try another tire,what tire hooks up best for circles? i dont care how fast it wears out as long as it hooks up

I always had run Dunlop 208's recently got metzler m1's and I found the metzlers to have better bite in all weather conditions, hot, cold, rain, (haven't tried them in show yet) as for wear I will let you know, they are still brand new.

So basically everyone runs super sticky up front and whatever free peice of crap they can get their hands on for a rear?

DARKS1D3

yea always get a good front and shitty rear man, your always gonna burn through the rear like theres no tomorrow

Sparky88

So do you just raid the pile out the back of a bike store?
I'm sure they wouldn't mind as they have to pay for tyre disposal(per tyre) where I'm from

DARKS1D3

yea man, where i get used tires is from my boys shop. i got a battleax that still had really good rubber, i think i got like 1500 miles out if it for FREE

Sparky88

That's awesome.
Do you pay to have them fitted?
I'm awesome with tyre leavers but I don't really want to do that unless I have to. Also I'll probably scratch my rim in a rush in some point

DARKS1D3

where im from the local shop will mount a tire for 15-20$ but my boy that owns the shop hooks me up for free cause i cut his hair

Sparky88

That's awesome,

I'm getting a near new BT 14 put on my bike next weekend. Glad I took your advice, more money to spend on other stuff
