I don't even understand why the hell you're looking at tires when you're buying a complete bike.

enormungus

that depends a lot on the type of riding

BMXZ

does it matter? my little bro is going to change the tires to the odesseys.But its kinda fun to see whats your favorite tire.Its a random question.

mude

yes it matters. if you get bald tires then their not going to be as good for dirt because they wont be diging into the gound as much and it'd be easier for you to slip out on turns. but bald tires would be good for park because they have a bigger surface area and will be more grippy.

therfore tires with bigger tread are gonna be better for dirt/street and a lot slippier for park.

BMXZ

i know but hes riding street so then it really doesnt matter.

mude

if hes a 11 and riding a haro chances are when you say street its gonna mean more of jumping off curbs. i have a feeling that at 11 a mirra is gonna be to heavy to bunny hop high enough for ledges and stuff

BMXZ

k look the only thing we are asking is whats your favorite tire.we're not asking whats the best tire or anything like that.

Buy the cheapo tires where ever they are sold. Some last 20 days, many last months

[edit] I was drunk last night, thought you meant tubes. I run primo walls on front and back.

KinetikBiker

kind of a random question...

right now my set up is::::-->
Front: Maxxis Maxx Daddy 2.25"
Back: Primo Wall 2.1

my ideal set up would be the same back tire with a Primo Dirt Monster in the front...

but thats just me because i like to ride trails, and i dont ride enough park to have good park tires...

You are getting a complete but whatever, Maxxis Holly Rollers. Good tire. And your still 11.

gheeettoo queens.

seems like the Primo Wall is very popular, and i have to say that since i switched to it from a maxxis holly roller...i like the thicker sidewalls and how its faster on my trails when there packed, and dry...

queensrider86

revenge tires are good too

wethepeople

Kenda K-rad 2.25 front, and Maxxis Maxx Daddy 2.25 back.

Blue Sidwalls are where it's at. Black is plain, boring, dull, drab. You got's to have style man.

KinetikBiker

My style is in my riding. I like my bike clean and simple...
Straight cable, no pegs, black everything except the frame and Seat (which has that green Shadow thing) and seatpost (which has the green guts)

mude

you have a shadow seat?

Let's see a pic of that clean bike of yours.

I_Suck_At_BMX

for street and park i use:
Front: Maxxis Holy Roller 2.20
Back: Maxxis M-Tread 2.10

i use them on my trails sometimes to, but i wouldnt recomend it, the m-tread slides out on ya pretty easy. however for park and street i think it is the best tire combo.

queensrider86

bald tires are the best for street

Intoxicated

I ride an double wall xrim in the front with a street tire, and in the back I have a triple wall GT rim with a dirt tire. So I get traction on both street and dirt =D.

ok, i dont know where to start. He goes:

1. your tyres are the wrong way round (dirt on front, street on back)

2. No-one said anything about rims

3. fancy telling us what tyres (the whole point of the thread)

4. you do realise the thread is a year old

5. have a nice day
