I know I might have asked this before, but I'll ask again :LolLolLolLol:.
Getting the last few parts for my Hoffman Flash together and have a question about tyres, I have a choice between skinwall Tioga Comp 3's or a nice pair of all black Powerlite kevlar beaded Comp 2 style 1.75's. I'm not sure which ones to go with and which ones will look best for the era :-\. They will be going on a set of polished silver GT Rims, GT hubs with a radial spoked front.
What do you guys think; all black Comp 2 style or skinwall Comp 3's?
Thanks :daumenhoch:
-
I'd go for the Comp III's :daumenhoch:

You can never go wrong with comp IIIs. They are like some kind of strange BMX constant that just keeps going. A good thing for the people whe have the comp III tread as a tattoo .... not so cool for the person who has a snake belly tread tattoo :2funny:
I joke .... the snake belly tat rules!!!
-
also the beauty of comp III's is they'll go well on just about anything!
on a hoffman flash, ideally, for me, it'd be primo v-trak's all the way :daumenhoch:

Cheers guys, will try it with the Comp 3's and will probably stick with them :LolLolLolLol:
Joe, V-Traks were my first choice but I couldn't find them in fat and thin amberwall anywhere :(.

aah i see what you mean, i could only point you to the thins in amberwall :daumenhoch:
ygt has nos black walls and i could probs find the fatter/thinner to match,
skin comp III's will be just as good though dude :daumenhoch:
my point was only because hoffman used to fit them on the flash bikes,

Primo made great tires, (tyres for those across the pond). I loved the V-track for racing. Other tires that I enjoyed are the Haro Holeshot and GT Megabite. Man, a 1.75" Holeshot on back and a backwards 2.125 Megabite up front, was my favorite combo for a while. Not fun on the street, but did wonders on the track before the days of asphault berms. (I'll bet the brits have a different word for that too ;) )
