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.

Good plan, you've always been a resourceful guy. I admire that.

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...

I've ran many sets of Diablos and then the 1 time on the 016s. The Diablo is a harder tire by a good margin.

Perhaps but I believe that they are better, quicker in the cold.
