Is this a pretty good tire?

putting a bigger tire throws off the geometry of the bike ..it will handle worse ..not a good idea

^^ what he said..

if you want a "lol" burnout tire, buy a cheap race take off.. for like 15 bucks

It's an awesome tire, but they aren't cheap. for stunting, just stick to a grippy cheapo tire like the Pilot Race series from Motorace.

wordizbon, what is it that you want to do more? Wheelies or Burnouts? If you want a tire for wheelies get something that sticks like Pilot, Michelin, Metzler, Dunlop. Burnout you can do no matter what tire, it's just how hard you rev the bike.

Now, the 190 question. First get the same tire model that you have on the front.
You havent even mentioned anything about the front so I take it that you do not want the same tred pattern on the rear. Your call.
190 is good if your going straight. Cant beat that on any 180. If you are a kneedragger and like to lean hard on turns dont even thing about the 190.
Get a moderate price tire. Because you will feel like an *** if you new rear will blowup from the burnout.

I don't understand why you need a bigger tire to make it sticky. I have dunlop 208s on my F4i right now and have a pilot coming for the rear in the next few days (I know that I should do both, but I can't afford it right now) My dunlops stick really good for wheelies, I can pull out of my garage on cold tires and pull it right up without spinning. Mabye the tire you have is really ****ty, but you shouldn't need a 190 to get your bike to hook up. Go to www.ronayers.com and look at their tires. Best price I have found anywhere. Good luck, but I don't think I would get a 190 but if all you do is stunt it I guess it won't really matter.
