Title: Mid School Race Tyres?
Post by: MartyC on October 02, 2007, 07:36 PM
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:

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  :(.

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  ;)  )
