Yeah I noticed when I threw on thickslicks, compared to Zaffiros, skidding became a lot harder. Eventually, after I rode enough and stopped enough without using a brake, I went brakeless. If you can't skid properly and on command, I don't know what the **** you think you're doing without running a brake. You're destined to become street spin art via truck canvas if you're dumb about it. Maybe you live in bum**** america, you might be able to get away with it. Riding in the city will teach you **** real quick.

I learned with 46/16 and run 46/15 no problems. HTFU.

edit: not trying to sound elitist or like a prick. Learn how to skid before you take the brakes off dumbass.
