It's a 250, clearly it is just too powerful and any overuse of the throttle will simply break the rear loose regardless of tire or traction.

10-15 years old? No. 15 year old design on the tires? YES.

The tire selection for the 2fiddys are ridonkulous. Go buy the MT-75s like Hokie said. Or if you are trying to sell it, buy another one of those cheap ass Dunlops and slap it on there.

New Pirelli's are a good idea, but instead of MT-75's try their Sport Demons. It will feel like a new sport bike.

The rear tire is a POS Cheng-shin.. It was supposedly new when i bought the bike.
its not really even worn compared the the outer edges.

the front tire is probably 17 years old..... but the front is not the problem it holds...

Was going to do like all the other 2-fiddy riders and get Pirelli sport demons or W/E they are.(scooter tires)
or just replace the whole rear end
GSXR600 shock+EX500 wheel/swingarm so i could run a pilot street power 150/60-18....

But i'm selling it and buying:
1.Interceptor
2.GPZ
3.Seca II Turbo
4.GSX

BTW homeslice, The plastics/tank where not even painted on the bike.
Though the idiot i got it from painted the wheel with the tire on(thats actually a red wheel)

How far up does the overspray go? Couldn't that be the problem?

could have been, bu i dont think spray paint will stay on a tire for nearly 2000miles
Could be though i think when i got the bike i kinda scrubbed everything down since oil, road gunk and shit was all over the whole bike..

Could be though

The problem with the 250 suspension though is that I don't think it has the adjustability.
Nope. No adjustability.

Change BOTH of your tires, even to the Dunlop OEM. They will be far better than a 17 year old front and a spray painted POS rear.

And make sure the rear is straight when you put it back on or you will have problems like derf mentioned.
