trail rider Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 How well do these tires work in the dirt and on the trail? Don't these tires expand like 20% or something at high speed? How fast do they wear down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee04le Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 They are excellent for dirt drags. 4-snow and prowedges hook like no other tire. They do expand conciderably, which is another reason they are a great drag tire. However, they are really not beefy enough for the trail. I recommend the prowedge2's. They may not expand quite as much but they will last longer. The treads are much thicker and the sidewalls are a little heavier. Since I have had my prowedge2's, I put my razor2's back on one time and was amazed how much more fun the bike is to ride with the prowedge2's. You can get the front end up so much easier due to the added traction, you just feel more in control of the bike. By the way, everyone runs the prowedge's in the opposite direction that the arrow on the sidewall indicates, that's just how its done, they hook much better that way. I'm not sure about the 4snows (pretty much the same tire as the prowedge) but I believe it may run the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail rider Posted May 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Who makes prowedge's and prowedge2's cause I've never heard of those before? Could you post a pic of them or tell me where I could find a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
