I was a BMX rider forever and the worst thing I seen come from tires was the half street half knobby tires.... I slid out and got hurt so many times I stopped riding them and went w/ high psi street tires. I love 2.2 120psi tires and I always will... I'd run it a little lower and they never pinched or rolled off like 2.4 low psi tires I've had recently.
Skinnier rear tire. With higher pressure and a faster rolling design. Wider grippier front tire with less air. Adds built in suspension without giving up too much rolling speed. And adds a bit of extra grip up front if you do hit dirt occasionally. But also means foot jams and Vader scuffs don't murder your tires as fast.
I used to run 2 different tires, also. Skinny in the back to get moving quicker with a wider knobby tire in the front for steering. Used that set up for Racing and trails. Times have changed though. Lol
i love having chunky tires, removes the gap for foot jams. i run a 2.4 fit faf on the back and a 2,4 odyssey hawk on the front. the fit faf is a good inbetween for street and dirt and the hawk is a really grippy tire on the street
When you said y’all rode dirt and street that was the same with us growing up sometimes we didn’t really care and rode whatever we had then it was just fun hanging with the guys
Actually I’ve seen a lot of dudes riding dirt with street tires. Everything is usually so smooth and kept up you don’t need traction. I don’t ride dirt so I can’t say form personal but that’s what I’ve noticed from watching riders. Like I’ve seen quite a few people ride dirt with the Cult Fast and Loose tire.
I have the cult/vans in 2.4. I like them. Grippy but don’t slow you down. I just went up from 2.2ish tires & I was surprised how different the width made. I rode the animal ASM way back in the day, really wish they would bring them back
@@ryanoconnell6617 i like the odyssey s too. But having rode on demolition about 2 years ago, they felt way better than vans and i m just waiting them to arrive
I'm running maxis grifter front and rear on my BMX and I'm running schwalbe big Ben front and rear on my DJ. If they had schwalbe big Ben or tabletops in 20" I would run them on BMX too.
Atm I use a tall order wall ride 2.35 front I find it too grippy bug it’s good all round street dirt park and maxxis rear m-tread rear 2.20 and it’s ages old park and street not so much dirt but skids under load turning very hard waring tyre it’s took many of hard slams 👍
I plan on getting maxxis grifters in 20x2.40 soon. I’m currently running the stock kink sever tires no hate on them but they aren’t my personal preference.
Can somebody help me,my brother have a bmx 20x2.30 tires,and he want to order new tires only avail. is 20x2.40 and 20x1.95.which one do you think guys will fit his bike,btw he have mags instead of rim.thank you!
More volume feels good to me- I say do it, if your chainstays have the room. Which riders do you look to for inpiration? What do they use? I'm looking at Jared Graves and Barry Nobles- I see Nobles uses 1.95 front and 1.75 rear, if memory serves; I'm looking at Holy Rollers as a good compromise between dirt and street, for all around speed and flow, and puncture resistance. I like how they break away progressively, when taking a turn past the limit. The Hookworms, too- They're amazing on the street. Heavy, but they absolutely haul ass and turn on rails... and progressively break away and recover predictably. Anyway! I hope your season's off to a strong and healthy start.
I have the same size on my Gt Pro Series 24 " They are Gt Smoothies 24x2.5 Pretty awesome all around tire ! So I'm guessing that 1 replace the ones that you have now I would like something lighter , with a little more tread for wet/ muddy roads 😎
I ride a 43 pound 2003 pro team condor on Alex supra g 48 primo 1.95 85 psi , also have and use hb rotators and skidmarks all in 1.95 but they all 120 psi , when I land flat no squish rims. Call it blow em up fu*k off hard 😂
I'm running 2.4s on an older BMX (don't know the make or year, it's definitely heavy and old-school though) and it does fit, but I have about 1/4" clearance or less to the brake arms and frame. If you can do a tight setup it works, but if you anticipate bent rims it will be frustrating. I just cruise and do drops and have 48-spoke wheels so it's less of a concern. Also, maybe obvious but wait until the wheel is secured before fully inflating it, you'll spend less time resetting your brakes.
*BIKE SEATS END ALL:* "Turbo saddles wr king. Hard seats better." Not so fast: Best cushion ever made was humans muscle. Dogs foot under thin elastic skin. High thread count tire carcass deform waaay better over road reduce vibration transmitted 2bike/gigantic energy lost. Knobby tires will average 8mph on a 30 miler fireroads over a mt. Where slicks will average 12mph. Few people evr experience such LOWEST roll resistance tires. Parts that (actually) wrk = big money they keep u on endless tire shopping spree knobbie tread goose chase. Tire shall be slick period. Demons turn engineering in2 endless merry go round new&improve sucker bait. Yr engineers wr 2dumb2get it right th1st time? Ah i see. They deliberately engineer hidden demons. Keeps next new factory stocked. Try a plastic or carbon flexi carcass saddle mirrors Brooks with silicone gel over thin hard foam topped with elastic polished thin shiny leather or vynil shade net. Clear silicone = highest quality gel. 95% "gel" saddles corrupt deliberately compromised dry porous "gel." Not all silicones pure either.

Modern Turbo saddles: Best saddles of our modern era. Very thin hence highly elastic leather over foam FIRM foam. Leather is great. But when used wearing SILICONE gel shorts u could go 3 centuries on that hard little Turbo. Gel done correctly is king not Brooks rawhide Cow skin: Varies in quality4godsakes just use a piece of any# STABLE gadgillion choices u have in plastic. All a Brooks saddle is is a piece of rawhide engineered 2mimic plastic. "Oh but it conforms sooo perfectly 2 yr own anatomy" lol so does plastic minute u sit on it = what a car tire doing a gadgillion times a mile whole Brooks cult snobbery thing a liddle batsht looney somem1 ask "Do Brooks saddle get heavier in thrain?" Ofcourse they do they a 3/16 " leather sponge. Even if u treat top, water gonna splash up from bottom soak yo a$$ &that sponge of a seat. When i leave leather glove in rain = bad it begin digest th leather = tear easier. Brooks state: "No, Brooks saddles should not get heavier rain because they should not be ridden when wet. However, if Brooks saddle does get wet, it can be allowed to air dry naturally will be fine. Riding Brooks saddle during heavy showers or storing direct sunlight or heat for long periods can damage the leather. Likewise, the material we use will not be affected by rain. Cambium saddles are also available in a carved version for riders who seek to reduce pressure on the perineum or desire a more flexible saddle." Again put some silica gel over thin flexy durable plastic topped with 5mm glued on dense memory foam cover. Use 2 - 3 layers durable material say 2mm uv stable vynil shade net u will have th overwhelming epicenter of all saddles.

1.95s roll way slower. Your friend doesn't use proper pressure. No one in bmx does. The tires and rims aren't even designed for how people use them. Look at how often trials riders get flats compared to street bmxers. Also that's why everyone went brake less. Bmx brakes are a joke. Trials bikes are so much better.
@@MikeFede Just say what it really means: "The White Live Matters" symbol of racism and division. You dared to wear it... but you slow to accept? here kicking some rocks 🦶🏈🤣
The American flag represents all nationalities and if it represents racism why do millions of people from other countries and nationalities want to come here? and what does this have to do with bike tires ? I'm glad you judge people by color jackass..
No. Too narrow, too high pressure required. Even if you go to their minimum pressure lesser suspension will wear parts faster, especially the wheels. You will also feel every jump more.
