I saw a site that had these for sale. Was wondering if they were any good or not??? Im just exploring some tire ideas for the minis for this winter racing....

They look heavy??? And you know how crucial weight savings is on mini's. What I prefer is Hoosier fronts and go-cart tires on the rear, Burrus (sp). Takes less for the little motors to turn over.

I have no idea what they weigh, but a racing Co. sells them in a pkg. for FT racing tires... I would be interested in the weight and how well they performed

I have a set of those beasts for my full size machine. They are very heavy! I don't have a clue what the kids tires weigh, but I bet it ain't light. Good performing tire.

Hey Tina as for putting those on the mini's I don't know about that, I have a set of rears for my 300 & they are VERY heavy!! And I don't use them @ the indoor tracks, they don't hook up well I didn't think, you can watch my vids & I'm just spinning & spitting. We run the little turf savers on the LEM & the LT when DJ was racing that! If I was you I would stick w/ your tires you have? Unless your running a Class C only track but the "turf savers" are WAY WAY lighter

Same w/ the go cart tires, thats what was supposed to go on the rear of the LEM but Papa messed up

but when we aren't paying I guess we can't complain huh

Good luck!! do they really sell those Duro's for mini's BTW???

thanks for that info!!! Yeah DM they sell them here We are just using the 16 inch shredders right now on the rear. Im REALLY hating the holeshot fronts too on ANY of our machines too much push on them things

So Im going to be on a mission to find a better front tire for the kids too. if the Grooved radials werent so high priced, I might try those for them

Hmmm so you don't like the holeshots on the fronts huh?? DJ runs the holeshot mx on the front of the blaster & really likes them, they are for hardpack. I'm thinking/wondering what the Kenda Klaw mx would be like on the fronts?? Don't you guys have some of those? Maybe I'm thinking of the rears

How bout a set of baby Hoosier/AR on the fronts?? Well I know what you mean about the radials, I wish we could get another set for the blaster, his fronts are almost wore all the way down

it should be an interesting season LOL I think he's gonna be focusing more on the 250-350 4 strk class since he'll be racing adults & would love to whip em all hehe, well good luck on the search

YES Bill PLEASE do show us a pic

Hell they sponsor DJ a little & I neer even thought of them tires if I can get them for that price I guess he'll be sporting radials in the front of the blasty too

That means I'll have to find some front rims cuz he wouldn't like them on the trails BELIEVE me LOL, especaially the mudd huh Bill hehehehe
