Not IMO...though you live in MI. I thought they heated up pretty damn well and stuck pretty good for non Race tires. I was running these in the low 70s temps.

^^^Were still buds right? lol

Just fuckin wit ya.....I lived in MI for 7 years and I remember D220s doing the exact same thing. Did a 180 once when I wasn't even on the gas. When it's cold tires just don't stick.

I have no doubts that if I had PP's on I would have stopped.

Good luck finding ANY fucking tire that will grip a 1/4 mile from the house in the morning. Unless your bike uses tire warmers at home then it ain't happening. Blame the tires all you want.

Yea I crashed the same way right after I got my bike...leaving the parking lot! They were BT-016s and I agree that they warm up slower than say, Pirelli Diablos...

Fine, I get that they might warm up slow. No debate, but no tire is gonna be warm the second you start moving.

I piss on mine to warm them up before I ride... just in case.

If you are spinning the rear tire, that does not count. The front or rear must slide sideways.

If I leave my house on both the Pirellis Diablos and The BT-016s at the same time and apply the exact same amount of throttle at the same time, the BT-016s WILL spin up and out sooner. They will also take longer to come up to temp. Now the BT-002RSs on the other hand...

My Corsa III's stuck amazingly well. If they only would have better wear characteristics.
