Not sure about the rules in here. If this is a no-no, sorry.

Just so you all know, I am now making wraps for the sportbike ice tires. They are the same as my dirtbike wraps, just tailored to fit sportbike wheels. I use 1000 Denier Cordura that has a Eurethane coating and line it with 20k tensile strength strapping.

Because the wraps are difficult to start on a smooth tire, I replaced the traditional starting loop with a strap that goes all the way around the rim.

The end closure strap is the same. They are $75/set and they fit perfectly.

Thanks to RyanS for letting me use his wheel to design from.

what the hell are they for?

 

They look very nice. Good job.

To keep your studs/screws sharp and cover them up so you don't cut yourself.

 

o. sorry im from florida

 

the MINUTE you roll your Ryan S studded ice tire over concrete, they will be junk....the weight bends the "edge" over on the screw, it may not look dull....but you will notice on the ice that it is indeed dull.......these wraps are designed for sportbike rims and tires, it's nice to finally get away from trying to used dirtbike tire wraps that don't fit over half the tire!

 

Absolutely. Ice tires need to be handled like "fine china". I wince every time I see a naked stud peeking from beneath a wrap. The better you protect your studs, the longer they will last. My ice tires are on their third season, looking forward to their fourth.

 

Very nice Tammy. These are just as nice, if not nicer than your standard ice wraps i'm sure.

 

IF you let off the gas SOME and don't grenade the motor

 

A few years ago I studded the tires on my XR 100. Seconds after I was done, I allowed Drunk Adam to do a burnout on my garage floor.
So that was bad???

 

in a dan rupnow voice "TWIT"

 

No, thats how you sharpen them...

Notice the sparks? Thats how you know your doing it right!

 

Ahhh yes! Ha hahaha!! The infamous picture. Very nice!! Notice the (Blatz) beer can on the floor? There was many more lying around.

Very good times indeed!

 

yep, them are junk.

 

Anybody knows where I can get a set of ice tires for my 636?

Something that wont cost me an arm and a leg.....?

 

ryan was making them last year but hes on "tour" right now

 

cost of a set of studded RYAN S ice tires- 500$

 

Do you have some done and ready to go?

 

i can do a set in a day

 

Got a deal on a couple boxes of studs for me?
