Hey guys,
Just got a new orange 1290 Super Duke yesterday. I love the bike so far. Just curious what a good tyre is for traction and all around street riding? Does anyone like the stock sportsmart 2? My first impression is that it sucks. I like wheelies and not burnouts. Left work last night and was going to ride a wheelie for my buddies and smoked the tyre through 3 gears instead. I want some traction.... Anyone run the Dunlop Q2? I have read good stuff on the Q2's.

The factory tyres are softer than the Q2 and Q3.
