hi guys
few weeks since ive made a topic here, almost got my S&M 93 dirtbike to how i wanted it, picked up a padset (pity its repro and even more pissed that S&m just brought out new padsets which are about a tenner) also picked up some dancing man slam bars.
only thing im after now are era correct tyres, ive one comp 3 in black with a rainbow logo on the sidewall, the rear is a comp 3 repro and doesnt look right at all.
could anyone give me some ideas on era correct tyres or even better, have some to sell
cheers in advance

gt tyres with the gt logo as the tread were around in 93, there are 2 types though one is the 80's style which go for good money, the other 90's ones can be picked up for around £50 a pair max
-
cheers, anyone else for a bit of choice?
-
you could use a set of original primo v monster tan wall tyres, they came out in 94 maybe even earlier, im gonna be running a pair on my 93 holmes build
-
haro multisurface still available on ebay for around 20 quid a pair, more ramp/street than dirt though

they came out in 95. day smith designed them and primo never gave anything to him for the design.
i love vmonsters :smitten:
-
i had gt tyres in 93, or comp 3's are always a good bet too.
-
I lot of people i rode with myself included ran a fat gt megabyte on the front and whatever else on the back, quite a few 20" Mtb tyres look quite close to the megabyte. This would be for more of a trails set up
this bike has them on :- http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/powerlite/24043

Cool, cheers for that :daumenhoch: ACS RL Edge tyres were still being used in the early 90's I think, they split easily though.

yes i forgot to put the acs rl edge tires. they were also used alot back then. i liked them,but i like the acs true tires better that came out a bit later. around late 96 i believe. them being a 2.0 tire instead of a 1.75 made all the diff to me.
odys has that frequency g tire out that chase g designed that is basically a copy/remake of the acs rl edge :daumenhoch:
