hi all , my dk general lee has a pair or primo dirt monsters on. I am looking at getting some street/park tyres so it will ride better on the streets and eventually I can have a go on ramps. I have looked at lots of tyres and fancy some gusset pimps as they are really cheap in a sale. I have always rode tracks so I am unsure which size to go for, What would best suit the bike 1.95 or 2.1?
-
Go big,i just put Tioga street block 2.25 front an 2.15 rear tyres on my STA and its rides luvvly :daumenhoch:
-
I tried to go big on my dirtbike and the 2.35 front when inflated didn't fit in the forks :(

You got greedy lol :daumenhoch:
-
The natural progression from dirt monsters would be V-monsters IMHO. Ideal for ramps and totally useable for street - I use a 2.1 on the front and 1.95 on the rear. They even come in skinwall too for that extra bit of style..... ;-)
-
I quite like the look of the gusset pimps, I can get a pair for £22
-
I'd agree with Spen but go 1.95 front and back - lovelee tyres :angel:
-
If you're gonna ride ramps, price has nothing to do with it.....
Death on the other hand.......
-
ok I dont want to be sliding off cos of cheap tyres, wheres the best shop for a good deal on primo v monsters?
-
dont bother with the new version of tanwall v monsters if you wanna run over 65psi
as they bulge and make your wheel look buckled
the normal blackwall ones are fine just the new tanwall ones are crap, i tried 2 pairs and both were the same, sent em back and got fit fafs instead

Ask what folks think of the cheap ones first bud as they might be ok.
Pretty sure uncle Stodgy Dave can get the skinwall V-monsters for you if you need some. :daumenhoch:

My 2p
I rode 21.Dirt monster front, 1.95 v monster rear, for ages, was good for everything
then I discovered Fly Rubens front and rears, really really good tyres
just bought 1.95 streetblocks for my RV, they are just like powerblocks but with a stronger sidewall and more grip, so no bulging or splits, and still very light, as I am riding to and from the cyclopark bmx track when I go

got side tracked while looking for tyres and ended up buying some red v monsters in a sale for my burner
Still looking around, but I will probably order some black v monsters, I am a bit concerend about the tan wall version if they bulge out at higher pressures
Has anyone used tioga steet block tyres?

They're good, grippy all round the side wall too. Only just put mine on but first impressions are good, and they are only 460g each for the 1.95s
