Title: 90s Dirt tyres
Post by: phatjimmy on June 17, 2012, 04:43 PM

Just talking with an old buddy who has a much better memory than me and he reminded me of our old tyre combo back in the day. 2.1 mongoose goosebumps up front with 1.75 GT megabytes on the rear. Im guessing theres no chance of coming across some of these nowadays??

depends, ive got 2 black wall gt megabites (2.1) which weren't particularly hard to find, tanwall ones are rarer but do pop up on www.bmxmuseum.com

have no idea about the mongoose one

i do have a ritchey megabite tyre 1.75 brand new i may part with, pretty much the same as the gt megabite (gt stole the design)

Or you could go for Primo Dirt Monsters - they're still production.
