Tires for packed dirt?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, finally got the bike to a track today and made a few passes. Stock cylinder stock stroke on alky.

 

It ran great, no hiccups in the engine or carbs at all (40mm lectrons). I researched here and made a few threads and got them tuned well late last year.

 

However, I was running 13 paddles on a hard packed clay track...not the best idea obviously but I was itching to get it out. Obviously I couldn't get it to hook at all.

 

So what are my options as far as tires? We run hard packed clay mostly, as I previously stated. I've saw the cut ambushes that a few people run and what not but I'm not comfortable cutting tread of tires so just looking for some better alternatives. Thanks!

Dude I messaged you about yours before...I'm just scared I'll fuck up and ruin a set. If I buy them and have them shipped to you will you cut em for a price?? Haha

Yep. I don't have any 20" or 22" anymore or I'd sell them to you.

 

But yes, you buy them and ship to me and I'll cut them.

 

Where you located?

Yeah I was thinking about those as well. I ordered some ambushes last night so I'll just make an attempt to cut them myself. It shouldn't be hard as long as I'm careful. And I got a great explanation from Tyler's method to cut them so I'll give it a whirl and give an update on how it goes...

 

Was surprised that 2 rears only cost me 115$. Anyways they should be here either tomorrow or the next day so I'll post back with pictures, if I'm successful...lol

Got the side lugs cut off when I got home from work...decided to use a hacksaw and actually got them pretty fucking close.

 

Please no comments about my tool of choice. Lmao

Anyways tomorrow I'm gonna mount and work on the middle tread...only did the sides since those are probably the easiest. Was actually surprised I got them looking pretty nice with a hacksaw...lol.

 

Some fine tuning with a razor and they'll look great.
