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 ...

Love the labels/colour scheme

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: )

If its the finished listing I just found they were a bargain too fella :daumenhoch:

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 .

-
They look like they could burst if you stared at them for long enough :teef:
-
perfect for that ammaco that kept reappearing on ebay "its true, she is beautiful" ;D

There definitely different
Looks like there's more side wall than tread area

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
-

-
