OK, I got new dirtbike tires! check it out. well well worth the $245.00.
they are 1000000% better in the mud, dirt, and grass than my old ones. the offroad performance with them is phenomenal.

look at how much less tread, and less aggressive tread there is on those old ones! those old tires are Pansy tires! I love it soo much now! :D

Very nice tires. Those old ones look ~like they were memt to be kind of a cross between dirt and street bike wheels.

yep, that's my sniper.
the old ones were worn out dual sport tires/trials tires, which are a cross between dirt and road tires.

frank, I think you told me about it before. post some pics!

than what are? :x
this bike is reliable as hell. try riding them before you judge them. maby the modern ones are not the best, but form what I have gathered, this was the best/fastest of the 175cc bikes in the 70's.
