I'm assuming they don't make them anymore. But does anybody make anything Simulair to them besides Hoosier?

:wondering

Thanks Fire.

Do you or anyone know if they are constructed the same and handle the same as the old school ohtsu tires?

not to sure on how they handle myself, ask some of the racers here on the board. If you need some, I have some old H-tracs laying around if you need em.

Maybe Carlisle will work for you, I've always found that cheaper tires don't seal at the bead area and get sidewall leaks easily. I always pay the extra 20$ a tire and buy XC's XCR's or whatever fancy letters they give to the more expensive tire. I do ride in alot of rocks, ruts and very uneven terrain - not to mention my MX track......

Nothing is worse than a damn tire that won't hold air, and tubes are useless.

oh



Ooops sorry I've been completely sidetracked. They might be spoken for already but I could try to take em off the rims and sell them to you if that does not go through. I just went through the tires(Yeah sounds a lil funny) and completely thoroughly cleaned them with a toothbrush. Yeah i'm anal about stuff like that so the pics sent to you in next PM do not show how nice the tires actually are. Do you need the tires before christmas?
