I need to buy new tires for the fiddy and was wondering about sizes and combo. I would like street tires and nobbies but don't want to change them every time I go out. I was thinking of getting street tires on front and back. Then I could just change the rear whenever I go out dirt riding, does anyone know if just a street tire on the front matters in the dirt as long as I have a knobby on the back ?? Also sizes, on ebay there a dealer saying 2.50-10 is better for front and rear and another dealer said 3.00-10 is better on both wheels. I plan on riding mostly street so what's the better size ?

 

i felt the same way, still wanted to do the occastional offroad excursions... i got these 2.75x10" cheng shins and i love'em, they still rock in the grass and dirt (but suck in the mud). only $25 for the pair. https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/att...chmentid=60367

Street tires do suck on grass and mud bro.... the Chen Shings are pretty cheap but ok tires i guess... and about size.... i got 2.50 on my st tires and they fit just perfect... i seen people with 3.0 and they look way too big..... now on my Dunlop MX tires.. the rear is a 2.75...

 

If you are going to do the combo, I would keep a mx tire on the front , unless your into practicing stoppies a lot.

 

That's my problem, I practice stoppies. Potential, where did you get those for that price ??

 

I know of a couple guys that run their street tire up front and swap to another rim with dirt on the rear.. as far as cheep street tires i just got this set of cheng shin c917's and they are great..more like a real street tire that some of the others i have seen. i went with the 2.75 also they fit the look of the bike too not to big..

if i can remember i will take some pictures installed on the bike.. they were 24 bux also..

 

For both ?? Where can I get those, I like'em !!

 

www.onoffroad.com - but the reason i got'em a lil cheaper is cause they wanted to stick me on shipping so i bought two pairs for imprezawd and i to save some cash, not sure how much though. also check http://www.motorhelmets.com/htm1/bod...ires-table.htm they have good prices too. the tires are sweet they scream during burnouts and skids, i like'em.

I just ordered C917 2.75-10 for 26.08 shipped. I hope they work good.

 

they look good for sure, more of a sport bike looking tire i really doubt you will be disappointed. what site did you end up getting them from.. I ordered mine through my local dealer so i didn't have shipping at it was like 24 but they are in bfe so i would rather spend 2 extra bux to get them to my door the next time.

 

Here ya go, thanks for you help !!

anyone got over 4 circles on any of these tires?

i run dirt in front...street in back.

 

I've got 8 in my pocket on stockers..... I hope for more on these tires.

 

i can almost garuntee you will have to learn all over again.
when i went to this street tire....all i can say is that it sucked.

the only bennifit....the LOUD *** noise it makes when I lock up the breaks....gotta love that

 

I had to learn all over again on everything when I got the Big Bore kit so I've here before.

 

I just put those same tires on mine but 3"...they are really nice

 

street tires are so much easier to ride on.. I cant even do circles on the stock tires without them washing out on me

 

Do they rub at all nags? i seen smoe 3s and they look pretty big ...

 

they're close.. but no rubbing...

dude down here has 3.5's and they dont even rub

 

Sweet.... i guess imma buy 3s for the other 50 then...

Did u ever get tha fast50s throttle really cheap or still waiting? Let me know if you want to sell the BBR that you have right now.
