What are the tyres of choice?

[Sink]

I'm looking to get a new pair of boots for my bike, used to running tanwalls, but like the look of new school whitewalls. So i run 2.125 up front and 2.0 at the rear, so whats the tyres of choice these days, will be used for street/ramp, I like a more agressive tread on the front incase of some dirt

I'm a tight arse and cant ride for shlt so i run chas and daves, but the fit fafs are where all the cool kids are at right now

I'm usually the same mate, I have the Odyssey Aitken skinwall on the front which is a nice tyre, got the Dave on the rear but its bare and got chunks out of it in only 3 months use. I made a few quid on the bay clearing out my tat, so looking to spend upto £60 a pair.

you could try the oddy aaron ross keyboard tyres, they are uber cool aprarently, I have the grips in red and they leave a keyboard pattern on my hands!!

Gone for a pair of FIT FAFS tanwalls 2.25 front 2.1 rear, ohhh new boots

[HARODAVE]

exposure ones are ok ....do slide a bit , i've got illegal on one bike and eclat control on the other ..both are good , come in white and tan walls and are good value

Primo V monsters 

[Sink]

See how i get on with these, they are nice and fast at 100 psi
Both are .1 larger  than my last pair, but the difference is minuscule.



Low tread on the rear, 2.1


Bit chunkier up front, 2.25

[SaMAlex]

The new United tires are really nice. I might try a set of them next

[QUADROPHENIA]

United tyres are lush, one of the bender boys has had a set from 4down for a few months and there still going strong

I've been running Tioga PowerBlock 2.1's for over a year now

light and sticky as fck for Wood, Concrete, Dirt and Grindless Street.

PoweerBlock 2.1 = 390g

Most tyres = Approx 630g

save a full pound on your spinning weight for 2 x £14.99. job's a good 'un.

Need a new set of tyres , are the powerblocks really up to concrete/ramp ? would think they would wear really quickly and with the thin sidewalls...

was looking @ chas/daves but thats 'cause i do follow the crowd 

anyone comment on the maxxi grifters ?  110psi  1.85  375g/ 2.10 440g  and cheap as chips from chainreactions , could do with advice !

i wouldn't scrimp too much on the rubber choice, they're one of the main thing stopping you slipping and slamming hard.

I'd look at spending about £20 each, take your pick from any of the big brands (tried and tested) skin wall or black depending on what you think looks best

what are you using on your rider streetbeat ?

[pickle]

well........the tyres on my Beat rider (which i only cruise about on) are 90's KHE Lamellos.  But on my knight bike NS rider i use Primo V monsters 

[popedante]

ok V monsters it is , but if i fall off and bruise myself i will have to sue you 

[Mdbh]

Khe all the way, wish I could afford them:(

[hunterdubber]

I have a KHE Dirt upfront and a KHE MAC 2 at the back ,

 Looks , lightweight and quality  

Black walls , of course    


I have FAF's on a Chase De Hart but have never rode it yet   

They look good on yours

like this one  Mark , Matt Grey Tech signature

[Betty]

Has the tiki gone?

[kev-s]

had khe kevlar beaded, fit faf kevlar beaded, tan wall primo v monsters and now wire beaded fit fafs

khe's were good but too expensive really

fit fafs kevlar beaded were good too and cheaper than the khe's

primo v monsters were good as long as you dont go over 65psi as the sidewall begin to bulge

fit faf wire beaded are good, nice compromise between cost and weight and will prob buy them again

[Nana]

ah foook all of these i have tried most of the big names and they are just about the same..... pooop......dont notice much diffrence...........its all about the labels

I have beeen running these for a while but be warned they are fast..............If your running no brakes they may kill you   

I also have them on my Mtb take 60psi no probs............and i can go on any terrain with them no problems
