Re: Street Tires

The only problem I have it burnouts. There's more tread hitting the pavement so it's harder to spin. Other than that they are .

It would seem to me the dirtbike ones are tougher...

But Jay squeals some pimpy skids with the streets.. Straight up Huffy style...

What size and brand are you running?

I just picked up some 2.75X10 Cheng Shins this morning. They are soaking up the sun so I can pop them on easy tonight. Hope I can still circle with the greatest of ease.

Sounds like a decent deal.. Where at???

Might sound like a dumb question, but can the stock tube be used???

Got front and rear at the local dealer for $23.34 OTD. Use the tubes that were in there already.

Just took a ride on them. Different to say the least.

Spent an hour on the new tires last night. They kick ***. Circles forever. Stand up ones too.

My straight line wheelies suck now. I am used to the stock tire. It was nice and flat in the middle from burnouts. The new ones are rounded so I feel like it is dropping to either side while I am trying to go straight.

Re: Street Tires

just put Cheng Shins on my ride, last week 3.0 rear, 2.75 front. I like them fine, much more stable for wheelies than my Maxis MX tires. I can pull 1 handers on these! CHEAP TOO (BONUS)
