They are going to beat you half to death every time you ride, but they are pretty much indestructable.

Yeah they are nice tires but are super heavy too. Going to take alittle more power to turn those babies.

I had them on my Z for a while after I bought it. They are great traction tire but they are hard riding and like to leak at the bead.

Those are not the kinf of tires I would run on a two stroke. They are heavy and power robbing. Forget any kind of power sliding, they have too much traction. They are better for a four stroke.

I vote too big for your application.
Hope you have some extra sprockets.

I meant to say, I would NOT run those on a two stroke. They are not a good choice for a 250R.

on off road haven. on the trike videos the 250r has them on it. looks pretty good. thats why i purchased them. maybe they would have been better if i got 20x12x8. or small yet again.
im going to look at maxxis tyres now.

I was amazed how good the set of Cheng Shin knobbies did on my 250sx in the snow. The old school knobbies deserve more credit than they get. Plus you can do 2nd gear doughnuts on the pavement on my sx with them!Warning- Don't try this at home and especialy not without a helmet. :mad:

All the machine's I've ever run except for fancy quads and dirtbikes had knobbies, the only exception was the rear cheng-shin radials I had on my 82, I like having a knobby in the front, they steer exceptionally well.

Oh yeah! my knobbies own 4x4s in snow and mud. I was amazed at how well they worked.
knobbies work great if your trike+ you weighes 400 lbs...i have to use 2 ppl on my 82 200 to get tho any deep drifts most times...but i keep my tires pumped up cuze i do alot of road rideing too..
