What kind of rear tire should I get?

No no no... I meant, when the tire is up high like during a wheelie, it feels way less stable than the original tire did. It's harder for me to control the sideway motion of the bike as I go down the street. I never had that problem before. As far as the tire pressure goes I assumed it was the same as my previous tire... 35 lbs... I can't check it right now cause my friend's got the pressure checker gauge.

No, cornering it is bad ass compared to the old tire. Lol. It almost feels like I've got rear wheel steering. It corners way better.

Wheelie drifting is almost always dependent on tire pressure rather than anything else.

Ok it had 35psi. I dropped it to 30, and it seemed to a little better. Should I try lower or am I just wasting my time and should I just shut up and get used to it? lol
