View Full Version : best bmx tyre
Whats your thoughts on the best bmx tyre? At the moment I'm running an Odyssey 2.1" Path at the front, and a Primo Wall 1.85" rear. The Wall has been there for a while now, but is still going. I reckon they're a good tyre, but getting them on and off is a bitch coz the walls on them are so damn strong. So my personal favourite is the Odyssey Path. Its a good on park, dirt and street. ALso its wall are pretty strong, has a long life and its fairly light.
I love the Hoffman Skidmark tyres, but they're a tad too heavy for my liking. So whats your favourite tyre?

I quite enjoy animal GLH's - touch meatier than the comets, roll faster cause not stupid thin runner.
GLH front and maybe an ASM rear (basically a harder comet, sliughtly thicker tread)

i run an odyssey dirtpath 2.2 on the front but i would like to change to an odyssey path tire instead because i find the dirtpath a bit too nobby. And on the rear i run a 1.95 fit tire and im finding it pretty sweet.

i recommend some grammar tutoring. and maxxis = shit. every maxxis ive had was shit. odyssey path would probably be the best all-rounder. everyone has them, just like every 12 year old has an STP

The paths are fair awesome, but mine is getting old and is flexing on the rim even with heaps of pressure. And flats happen way more easily now

im currently running some kenda k-rads... not great but they came with the bike and suit me fine. I'd probably get some odyssey tyres, prolly paths cos ive looked into them and people seem to like them. :p

Odyssey Paths, well suited to street/park.
On a side note, what pressure (psi) are people running for street/park riding...?

I reckon maxxis holy rollers are the go !!!! 60-70 psi front and back for both street, dirt and park

Depends on the tyre... for my krads i like to keep it in the 50-55 range both ends, but for some slicks that i used to own i ran them at 100-110.:eek:

I'm currently running 55-60psi in a new set of Fit street hoops. Feels about right.
