Title: duo stunner tires and feebles
Post by: blueee on August 05, 2015, 09:34:35 PM
Sooooo IMA cop some 1.95 DUP stunners on a very wide rim which means the sidewalls will be making contact with the ledge pretty damn early. Think they'll be alright? Light street I suppose, I so seldom feeble though often enough it's an unwaxed weathered piece of concrete

It is $10 at Dan's
Or I could get a Tioga streetblock for $22... Its over an oz lighter at 18oz

Any sub 15oz tires that can take some grinding? I'm seeing a couple $40 maxis tires out there

This made me laugh out loud. Would this even work?

It might work if you bent the rear triangle for some sick camber. Better stick some playing cards in the spokes for good measure.

Feeble grinds are more at an angle since your front tire is further over on the ledge. Thus, your tire would make MORE contact with the surface than your rim. so sure, go for it
