i've got a 929 i was using a michelin pilot sport on the rear and it lasted me 3k miles. i need a new rear tire and want something that will last a little longer and not necessarilly handle great in the corners but be good for wheelies. what do you guys recommend?

thanks

 

Find a local racer and buy his scrubs! They will usually sell them to you for 50 bucks or so a set and I usually end up getting 3000 miles out of if your not doing a ton of burnouts. They look pretty ragged on the edges but they have plenty of life in the center. But maybe I am just a cheap bitch who is too tight to spend 300 dollars on a set of tires.

 

Nah... that's pretty much what I do. Sometimes I'll opt for some new tires... I'f I'm ballin that month. Right now I'm rolling on the new Pirelli Diablos... But that's cause they're new and I wanted to try em out. Love em so far. Nice and stable in wheelies... I got the PSI down to about 18 right now.

 

Cheap, wide, flat rear tires, go with the Continentals. Contiforce 190, wide as ****, about $105, last a long time.

 

i cant find any 160 race take-offs but plenty of 120s (front) any ideas???

 

You can use 170's or 180's. Probably won't be hitting to many corners with take-offs anyway.
