Yep, when death does a wheelie for a good 2km's his front wheel pretty much stops... and going from 0kmh-200kmh in a split second, creates smoke... i can smell the tyre smoke when im behind him...

yeah, I've seen the smoke from planes, and from wheelies.
Thing is, it'll wear a tyre, but only in one long spot, causing a 'flat spot', not a continuous, both sides of the tyre tread spot.. that's wear..

Thanks TS, but I got that half chewed tyre for $50 which suits me nicely. By the time the rear is out, the front should be almost gone so I won't have a problem about replacing the pair, and I know the 012 and 011 are 'wet/winter' tyres, so it works out well for me at the moment..
