I'd like to snag up a set of 18" blems.

I may be a year or so too late.

Thanks guys.....

I was looking for the 10 inch blems too last fall and had no luck.

Gettin old..I remember in the mid to late 90's going into the large tire store for cars in town, and buying those and Buckshot mudders for 38$ each..Now 80$ for one. Inflation sucks... unless you are inflating a affordable good tire.

The original tread patterned Fast Trekkers where awesome! I had a set on my first 400ex. Loved them tires. I was going to buy a set for my 350x only to find that they went to a different tread design. I had to settle for 450r factory take offs for $50 each. You can still find the OG fast trekkers every once and a while on ebay.

I don't think the design has changed at all. I have a set of 18's and a set of 20's. The design is very different between the two, but the Fast Trekkers have always been that way.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the 18" X 10s had a different tread pattern. The long bar type center lugs - many of the MX bikes posted on this site have them. All other sizes are the tread pattern that RoscoW showed in his link.

I want a set of 20" fast trekkers with the wide center tread for a 9" rim. Do they make a 20" in that tread pattern? Every one I see is the narrower center tread. I have a buddy with a set of 20" with the wider center tread pattern

I have an old school set of 18" fast trekkers on 10" rims. They hold air. Have a couple plugs. But they work. I will give them to anyone who helps me find a good cheap new set of 20" fast trekkers with the wide tread pattern

For those of you who refuse to pay attention to what I am telling you, I will say this again.

The 18" and 20" Fast Trekkers have two different gall-dang tread patterns! The 18's have the bars, the 20's do not!

If these are indeed 20's, then I stand corrected....

These are my 20's

I wasn't aware you could get the 20's with the bars like my 18's have.

News to me also Flabbio, but then again I haven't owned a pair of Fast Trekkers for about 10 years. I did love the sliding characteristics of the 18s though.

After taking a closer look, I'm going to question whether or not the 20's posted by fire1 are indeed 20's. Those look like they could be 18's to me. No offense.

I haven't owned a set of 18s since the 80s I bought six sets of blems used two sets one on the r and the other on my sons blaster.did you look at the eBay listing for the 20s

Here's a post I made back in 08 on Org about the eBay listing. If you click the eBay link it states the size of the tire

I think the difference in the bars isn't in the tire height but the width.

Just to muddy up the waters some more. I really thought you were on to something with the extra width of the 11" wide tire getting the wider center lug. So I went out to the shed with my camera...

18x11x10 sitting next to 2 18x11x8's... hmmm... I realize the differences can be deceiving unmounted but dang the difference in width is quite a bit.. and no I didn't take a tape measure.. :D

I have a nice tread on a set of holeshots that works well. I just wanted a better price for 18" tires and I had recalled the blems.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys :D

On one tire the bead was warped really bad. Wasnt nice and circular. Had to use quite a bit of sealer to get it to seat right. (basiscally a pain in the but to seal up) The other the rubber was just really faded. Couldnt get that nice black tire look out of it even after deep cleaning. It almost looked as if it was used to ride around the track a couple times.
