Default new rubber

so long story short

i got a nail in my rear tire and had to change it out, but that the time i was strapped for cash so i had to opt out for the cheapest tire i can get

anyways it ended up being a michellin pilot road.

so i dont really lean that far yet and usually just drive around town on my f4i but today i downshifted from 3rd to 2nd at about 30mph and got wheel hop! how would that translate if i were to start leaning farther in turns and actually get to use the rubber close to the sides. Sorry i am very inexperienced, still learning as i go. I am just concerned if i should get a stickier tire altogether.

Thanks

c0ld

You will like the Pilot Road. That is what I have on the rear on mine. Wall to wall tread w/ a small side wall. I have about a quarter inch chicken strip. I love it.
