Mini motard tyres & wheels

Sabertooth - Best part about riding in the wet is crashing... It's always a lowside and there is something satisfying about sliding along tarmac giggling crazily as the rain patters on your helmet

Just rode home in the wet... I think I scared a few drivers on the freeway with sideways antics at 120+

(Don't try this at home kiddies, I've been riding for more years than some of you have been alive...)

So far, so good.... looks like that rain is holding off. Touch wood.

 

[grnman]

yeah dodge ive been doing the non rain dance. at lease your new tyres have a little tread cut in them if the track happen to be ever so slightly wet

Yep!you get what you pay for.
But perfect for starting out. I went and got the Dunlop TT92's first up and didn't really k ow what to expect. Only after 4 months on tard am I only finding the li
it's of the tyres and my skills. Innovas are good to learn on, but if you plan to race and improve
to the point where you scrape a knee every corner like a
pro, then I would suggest investing in either some vee rubbers, pmt slicks, tt's or some
sava's. Otherwise good bang for your buck$$$$

Although, the set you listed is 2.5/2.5 front and back... I'd suggest finding a set that are 2.15/2.5 as it will help with turn in and tyre profile

I just bought a set of these (also available in black in the store)... I'll let you know how they go when I eventually get my tard setup

They are running CST slicks in place of Innova's so I'm not sure if they are as sticky or not.

Thanks Guy's....after a little more research i found the DHZ website, so going to get some alloys and tyres from them...plus some alxe sliders, exhaust, pro tapers...etc etc lol
Any thoughts on these ones?

Sozz off topic a bit but can u get fat rims for a ten inch wheel bike? My Thumpstar has ten inch rear. 12" front, not sure if the rear swing arm will allow any bigger rims in the rear

Why not measure the rear swing arm first?
