What are the best tires for the Z? I am looking to buy a new set of tires and rims. I don't like the stock Z tires because they won't slide in the turns or do 360s. What kind of rims do you suggest that I get? Where should I get my tires and rims? Let me know.

Thanks,
Knowles

I can slide and do 360's no problem, watch my video coming out soon. I think you need to learn how your Z behaves to certain conditions and then learn to react to those behavours so that you can do what you want. Like a 360, lean way up and inside, keep the weight on the front tire that is pivoting. Sliding, plant your butt on the side of the seat and lean.

If you want tires then I hear nothing but good things about the Razors and Holeshots but I think they give you even more traction so they might hinder your 360's and sliding.

I had NO problems sliding on my stock tires. I'd go sliding past a turn, sliding into my buddies rear tires, etc...
