18" Tyre Choice

[curtispro]

Hi guys, new to this racing thing, we have just got our nipper a Haro Micro and when hes on it at the track he is losing the front end alot, the tyres on it are almost like slicks, do you guys change the standard ones for ones with tread on? I can't seem to fine any on the web that thin or am i being stupid.

 You`re not being stupid,most race tyres are semi slick these days.With 18"s there is almost no choice other than Primos.

No choice at all, don't run them as hard as they say you can.

Tyres say up to 110psi tubes inside them will say 80psi personally I run my littlun on 60 psi its plenty as they don't weigh anything, the lower pressure helps gives the tyre a little more footprint.

got a micro and i think that is the only tire run it semi flat every time ive pumped it 2 110 its burst after about a week and innertubes in that size r hard 2 find havin 2 use 18/1 75 with normal valve which is hard 2 get in tires but u get a better choice of dust caps the haros r cool bikes
