dry lake

So, i went out to the dry lake bed today since some guys on here said it would work fine but no matter what i did i couldn't get any traction at all. I was running 8psi and could not get the tire to grab on the dirt.. any advice? I just ended up stunting the dirtbike but its not even close to as fun.

See if you can get a Trials type tyre for a 160-190x17 you would be laughing.

Re: dry lake

I dont know if an enduro tire will get enough traction, the lake bed is clay and probably needs something like a full on DB tire. I was thinking of laying out a tarp with grip spray all over it or some ply wood and make a little area where i can clutch it up..
