Time for some street tires

[Panhead5496]

Unfortunately the place I ride my Baja Warrior has gotten closed off for motorized vehicles. I can see the reasons why though, so no hard feelings.

Now, my main place to ride will be my subdivision, which is huge and perfect for riding.

So I am trying to figure out my options. (I still have a few places to ride off road on the weekends)

1. Get a set of new tires good for both on and off road. The ones on my bike now are off road tires and wear out fairly quickly.

2. Get a new set of on-road tires, and just swap them on and off the rims due to where I will be riding.

3. Get a set of on-road tires, a new set of rims, and just swap the whole thing front and back (my favorite option, but the most expensive)>>>http://www.gopowersports.com/mb200-front-rim/ and http://www.gopowersports.com/rear-rim/

These street tires>>>https://www.ebay.com/itm/252732147534

Any other suggestions or ideas I might be missing??

Baja?
Mini bike or go kart?
I use these on my minibike, they are a game changer on the road.
Still do well Offroad, just want to make sure you you are self-aware when going to the corners fast on dirt.

I have used these tires in the rocky areas without a problem, and I use the same tires on smooth dirt track racing.

Whoops I meant to put Baja warrior!

And yep, those are the same ones I linked they look good

Game changer on road you say? How so?? Just good traction?

I would not have guessed they work well off road as well. That's great news!

 

[2SlickNick]

Yes traction and makes the ride a **** of a lot smoother.

Awesome. I'm going to get a set then

Oh I like those, I am building a warrior as well for on road only.
Will order these tires as well, I like the road look to them.

Sweet!! I can't find a frame that I can afford (cheap ) anywhere near me. Cheapest is about $400

I want to build a chopper looking bike with these street tires as well

Nice looking tire. Do you know if a inner tube is needed or not ?
Thanks.

They are tubeless according to the description.

I don't think so!

And yes they look pretty awesome don't they

 

[pearl111]

I found tubeless on the description after looking a little closer. Thanks

Anyone have pictures of these installed on their mini bike? Just wondering how "round" if at all they get when on the rim.

Thanks

Nice video

The tires look great. Going to have to get a set for sure.

 

[2SlickNick]

Thanks...
Not too square, if you Max inflate, they're pretty rounded

 

[Panhead5496]

Is there a clearance issue with them? I would assume they fit fine but don't want to be wrong lol

 

[2SlickNick]

No issues with clearance.
If you go wider tires like golf cart tires, then the chain could hit or rub sidewall
