the reason i ask is i noticed in looking in old 84 bmx plus a lot of people back then where using 175 back and front i used fat front and skinny back 'in 84 but my db looks good so ill leave it for now  :daumenhoch: but im sure you all have preferences .on my new bike i run as fat as poss back and front more shock on landing but i ride street with a bit of trails.I rode the old db at iford track with the skinny set up it was good, :daumenhoch:

1.75 front 'n' rear gives the 80's feel. I run 2.1 front and 1.95 rear on my mags and 1.95 front and 1.75 rear on me Alex rims. I prefer Maxxis Holy Rollers, what's the fave tyre out there????

For Old School, I always use 1.75 front and rear.  New school I use 1.75 rear and 1.95 front.

I usually ride fats front and rear but my robinson I just built won't take a fat on the back as a lot of OS BMX's won't I think.
