Mad tyres !!
« on: December 24, 2013, 06:49 PM »
I came across these while on ebay searching for a Michelin hi lite bmx tyre , i took a flyer on them tbh as i hadn't a clue what they were but the lad selling them said he had had them for years just hanging in his shed .  I have never seen another set in a BMX size .

I guess they will be a marmite type thing but i think they are pretty cool and something different anyway ......

Michelin Service Course 20 x 1.75 ...





Anybody know anything about them or come across them before  ???

I think they're cool, not sure about fitting them on black wheels though. Think it emphasises the amber sidewall & look a bit balloony ??? .  Would like to see em on a different colour  :chin:

I would defo try them on a skinnier wheel Joff as Z's are quite a wide wheel. Maybe 15 Araya's would look cool with them on  ???

(If you don't have any 1.5's, post them to me and I will try them on mine  :whistle:  )

I just threw them on the Z's as they were the most accesible set of wheels. They needed to be on a set of wheels to take a pic as they are the soft folding tyre and don't keep there round shape when off the rim .

I'll have a play about with them and see what looks best  , ill whizz them on some 1.5's too Terry to see if that makes a difference  ;)

 :LolLolLolLol:  That's what i thought Adam , if the Black had stretched all the way to were it should start they would be cool tyres .

There's is Lee  :D !!  Like i said earlier if the Black had started where it should have , ie the line underneath the Michelin label they would resemble a comp pool type tyre but the thin band is just mad  :D

'The Anthill Mob'   :LolLolLolLol:  those tyres would look right at home on their car  :coolsmiley:
If there's air in the tyres... it's a rider
