Best Stunt Tire?..
 

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?

Re: Best Stunt Tire?..

exactly, whatever free take offs i can get

Re: Best Stunt Tire?..
 

race take off front...shinko rear...they last forever..burnouts and everything

Re: Best Stunt Tire?..
 

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 :shruggs 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

Re: Best Stunt Tire?..
 

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.

Re: Best Stunt Tire?..
 

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

Re: Best Stunt Tire?..
 

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

Re: Best Stunt Tire?..
 

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

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
