shoot me some websites. what are some good tires that ya'll have run? knobbys and street tires. what would be a good tire for 50 that is used on street just as much as the road? any secrets for getting tubes to last longer? the bikes not mine i just work on it for a family friend and they are going through tubes like no other.i'm getting sick of changing them. help me out peeps
thx,chad

 

For street tires I just get scooter tires from my dealership. I use duro 90/90-10 tires and they look bada$$ and work pretty good. I also used to use IRC 3.00x10 tires and they worked decent and were super cheap. $24 a pair. To make the tubes last longer put more air in them. I run over 30psi in mine.

 

+1 on the irc's.Also you can try running rim locks.They are like 10 bucks and easy to install.The prevent the tire from slipping on the rim which in turn causes the valve stem to rip.Here's the first link I found by doing a google search,I'm sure you can find them cheaper by looking harder.Just wanted to give you an idea.Hope it helps,I hated changing tubes all the time.This thing worked for me and I constantly do burn outs!!!

street tires last longer? how good are they on the dirt?

 

street tires suck on the dirt.They last for a long time on the street thou! I'm not really sure of a dual sport tire?I got some cheap ebay wheels with dirt tires all ready on them, so I just switch my wheels out when we ride dirt.

 

perelli 3.00~10 ......that is tha **** on tha street......wrap elec. tape around tha inside of the rim to cover tha spokes.....that should help with tha tube prob.

I always ran the cheap Cheng Shings.. They hooked up better than any expensive tire I ever ran.

 

yep skinned shins are the best all round for the price cant beat em
street or dirt. you can get a trials type tire called an 80 /20 that is for both surfaces. i use them exsclusively on my 103 set up, i can ride dirt or street never changing the tires.and they werk great in either venue.
check the spokes regularly and keep at least 20 pounds in the tire for street
and and a little more for dirt cause of the jumping.might slow down your flats but if they are reaming them nothing you do will stop it.
