Riding technique or quick starts are weird

Do you consider the Metzler the best tire for the street?

I use them because I get them free and they work fine for me but I also use other makes on my CF 18 inch wheels on my other bike and I tell others to use the BS excedra max radial tires front and rear also the Michelin commander 2s front and rear and others like the AVON COBRAs so we do have several choices available
 
Actually it's no problem, a small lift of the front tire (2"-4") will not hurt times I don't think. You are correct about big heavy tire hurting times and speeds. But I seldom drag race on the street and never on track. I don't get free tires to trash every 4k miles so the tire works for me.
 
No I don't have that problem, but then again I never start out at full throttle. Are you kidding me?
 
I get about 10,000 miles out of the rear tire and since you seldom race on the street and never on a track well we have lost as much as 10 MPH and 4 tenths of a second by using a car tire SO as you would expect we dont use car tires on our street or Drag strip bikes
