khe tyres

[rodslovechild]

whats the difference between the khe mac1, mac1.5 and mac2 tyres? and how durable are they compared to other tyres? cheers

[darkersomeday]

its the sizing
mac1 is "20x1.75 - mac1.5 is "20x1.9 - mac2 is "20x2.2

theyre good grippy light tyres but HAVE to be run at over 90psi or they'll pinch flat all the time,

they wear quick too and puncture easy,

so light though,

fit k-faf's are better

[rodslovechild]

what makes them better 

[darkersomeday]

tougher ,grippier, faster

and theyre fit

Revenge tires are great

Depends where and how you ride.I only ride (mainly) indoor wood parks and try to keep as smoth as possoble on m khe's.Pumped up to 105psi - no probs at all.

But I have seen one go bang at Creation after a heavy flat landing from about 10 ft ! 

[rodslovechild]

will be riding wood and concrete, what size do you run? ive seen ppl running 2.1 front, 1.9 rear and some running 2.25 front with 2.1 rear, whats the difference? 

[subversion]

Stick to the street versions a the park ones are pretty fragile I run mac2 front & rear & they are pretty nice tyres...

Scrubb them in well!

I was actually gonna say something about that when you said you were gonna put them on, but you disappeared too quickly.
I didn't hear of you coming off at all, so figured you were okay with them.
I'd always go for a bike ride on new tyres. I'd probably do about 4 or 5 miles on the street before hitting the ply.

[pickle]

i did abou 4 or 5 minutes then literally hit the ply!   

Trev, i hit the deck about 6 times on saturday! nothing too hard.....just embarasing 

[2020mad]

I thought you were taking them for the team, so everyone else felt better 

[pickle]

yeah that'll be it     i went flying while trying to fakie to rollback (if thats what it's called) on the little jump box thingy and my lad came rushing over to see if i was okay!  ahhhhh bless him.........

I had brand new tires on at Skaterham the other week. I was all over the place at first. After actually wheel spinning when I went to ride across the flat (after crashing a tire tap) I figured it was time for a few laps of Tescos car park.

[pickle]

you see folks!  even the masters do it!  my rear wheel span when i tried to ride off on the flat too......quite un-nerving 

[rodslovechild]

tbh mine were spinning riding up things but as i didnt  know any different thought it was happening to everyone 

[lazychubs]

i run the mac 2's and when on street i just let em down to about 70 psi to stop punctures
as rode from garage to wrk the other day 1/2 mile on 100 psi
and me wrist's almost snapped from the little stones lol
proper killer on em

[subversion]

I've always run mine around 70psi - no probs...

[Fashionrider]

just a bit of input from a young newschool rider

the khe tires are good but ive seen a lot pop off

ide look into the new Fit as fook tires manuafactured by Fitbikeco. There foldable and lightweight, brilliant treat and are better quality by one of bmx's leading manufacturers

im running them at the minute and there fab!

[lazychubs]

im going on 19 stone almost lol
and never had a prob with the khe's popping
or going flat either
