i got a free tire from a guy whose son races ktm 50's.. the tire is like brand new.. its a 2.75x10 which is really freakin wide and the tire seems really heavy.. so i put it on last night and i can't stunt at ALL with this thing on there.. when the bike comes up, it immediately falls one direction (left or right) or the other faster than i can get my leg out to balance it..

this tread is super gnarly looking too..much meaner than i need..

does anyone have any suggestions for a GOOD tire designed JUST for stuntin on the street?

i ride dirt occasionaly but I've got dirt tires to run when I do

any suggestions?

thats all I run is dirt tires........just do some burnouts on the edges to round them off

once their rounded you can stunt that MUG like a champ

 

gotta be stock dirt tires, and burn em out alot

 

cheng shin scooter tires...9 bucks a peice

 

the profile on that one looks really steep, is it just because theres no air in it yet?


I'm gonna just do some hairy burnouts on these and wear em down a bit..my old ones were showin tube so they got pulled off.. but i went from one extreme (bald) to the other (wtf kinda tire has 2" ***** juttin out from the side??)

this tire is bad *** in the dirt but sucks everywhere else..

its a stock tire from a new ktm 65sx i believe..

 

it works for me..great for circles ( i can't do them though...lol)

 

If you like going street to dirt get a set of dual spot DOT aproved tires.

 

wow this answers everything... when i bought my fiddy it had tires of a racing ktm on it. i cant hardly wheelie because as explained above it instantly pulls me left or right. i thought i was just having a hellova time finding the balance point. so you say to do burnouts huh.

 

jaxon23, what kind of graphics are on your fiddy? That thing looks pimp! I was thinkin of gettin those scooter tires, but I have a little dirt track in my backyard. This is like hardpack dirt with no rocks, the landings are on woodchips and there's only a few turns. Would those tires be up to the task of riding very mild dirt? I really want street tires, and the ones I have now (stock) are bald anyways.

 

You might have a hard time riding on dirt that isnt hard packed with street tires . Like i said, get dual sport tires or hard packed tires because of the design.

 

one word BURNOUT

 

these tires are no good for the dirt...LOL...or wet grass for that matter..LOL also my graphic kit is from Sik50's www.kingracingusa.com

from stuntlifes own store looks sweet but never tried them

 

i second that yo, one word burn that tire way down

 

NOT BEING a smart *** in any way but is the adjusters straight?

if they are it's just the fact you got ***** now

 

the dirt tires you're riding are too stiff, they don't flatten out like the stockers do for side-to-side stability. i.e. even if you let a lotta air out they still won't flatten out enough to balance real well. you just need to find some aftermarket tires w/ a softer compound like the stockers had and you'll be just as good as you used to be. sure you might not get a thousand miles out of'em but the stuntin will be worth it. as far as i know they don't make any dual-sport DOT tires for our little 10" rims, but i'm gonna get some of the cheng shin c800 tires for summer (http://store.stuntlife.com/Merchant2...e=XRTireStreet). you need to look up SCOOTER tires those are best street tires for the fiddys.

street tires...are def better for stuntin..unless you still ridin dirt...

 

And who exactly makes DOT knobbies in a 10" tire???
