Aftermarket Z50 Tires?

I know the xr/crf's have a tone of street and dirt tires to choose from, but what about the lonely Z's? All I have are the stock treaded ones that look more like a tractor tire than a bike.

Can anyone help a brotha' out?

I do pimp the Carlisle Snow Hogs and they are awesome even on the street although on the street they wear out fast. They are awesome off road and definately awesome in the snow and mud. The stock Z50 dirt tires are garbage. You will slide out on the weakest trails and any sign of mud. I thought circles couldn't be done on the Snow Hogs but GixxerNick grabbed my 50 and quickly showed me the errors of my ways....he did circles with them like nothing.


For street tires go with

Its what I'm using and they are DOT approved and very .

King's is the official small tire place.

Very Nice Stuff.

You can find them for about $18 per tire at many places.

The 4X8 street tires they have are totally

I'm running the ones below on the street. A nice round street tire with enough tread for the occasional offroad jaunt.

There was so much drama over that I could care less anymore, but i'll show you how to rock the Z stock. I stomped on the bmx bars so they're straight now, we'll see what difference that makes.

What's the final info on tomorrow? I'm sleeping in, so if you guys expect me to drive to the city before noon i'm going to be late.

10W40 Valvoline Motorcycle oil.

Autozone $1.79 / quart

Regular car oils have friction inhibitors that can kill your bike's clutch. Some may disagree but for $1.79 and less headache and 2 oil changes in one bottle who can complain?
