My F4 came with some. They were not anything special. Replaced them with Bridgestone BT014

I'm thinking about getting the MPPS as well. I need a new front tire anyways. But the rear I'm going to purchase a 180/55/17 and wait till I get a 900rr rear rim to customize that ish on my rear. =) That would look way better and perform the same if not better than the stock rim/tire.

I believe he had something like a 180 or 190 rear wheel and the chain was rubbing against the tire and kept braking the chain.

ive heard shinkos are good for draging or highway miles, i guess they have a bit more traction and/or wear in the middle
