Front Tire Shreaded

I ran a shinko rear and Pilot Power front for a year because I was street + drag, stretched and lowered with zero issues. I switched to Diablos recently and I don't really like them. The thinner profile makes them fall into corners much better which is awesome, but the rear of the bike bike gets REALLY off-settled during hard upshifts and downshifts, to the point that it's almost scary (and I've roadraced before)
I'm stretched though, so that is probably the main factor in the unsettling, but I'm probably going to switch to a flatter shinko in the rear next time I need a new rear just for more confidence in hard acceleration and deceleration. (I have a separate rim/tire for drag now)
THAT SAID: I'm okay with Shinko as a drag tire for 1/4mi at a time. A street tire? I'm voting for a great tire up front for sure.
