Pneumatic Wheel Compendium (Serious)

Sounds about right price wise, those angled spokes have to be better than what they were replacing. The old straight hex/penta spokes always had mounting holes out of alignment essentially ruining the spokes.

So many tire are out of stock in the us.

Does anyone know if these would work well? I’m probably going to get some mbs, but i think the kwhateverthehell tread pattern on these looks very grippy.

Yeah I’ve used those before and they work well.

Try “school10” as a code, it might still work

They are available if you buy the upgraded thornproof tube 7.99 with it as a bundle…but out of stock with regular tube. Weird

the dune buggy ones show up as in stock for me. unless you mean mbs? honestly i really want evolve whitewalls, but since theyre only in stock on the german site and they dont ship to the US im either going to find someone in germany to grab me a set and send it here, or go with the dune buggy ones, very carefully remove all that damned raised lettering, and whitewall them myself.

Been scrolling through this post.

Are there 6(ish) inch tires that will work on MBS Rockstar II’s?

Prices are on the site now. Looks like $130 for a set of tires, tubes, and wheels. The numbers are the same for 5” and 7”. Might be right.

Well to be fair it’s tubes and tires too with warranty

But yes it is quite high, not as much as Lacroix high end rims tho

$500 though? Cmon man. You can buy wheels and tires for a real car.

Well maybe not, but still.

In other news, my wheel selection has been assembled and shipped today.

Very happy with my color combo.

Definitely not lol the tires for my car by themselves are 1k lol

Anyways, psycho wheels were 300, but like you, I wouldn’t buy 500$ wheels either when my entire mbs wheel and tire setup cost probably 200?

Those sunmates look nice tho, how are the tolerances on the new mid hubs?

I have not receive them yet, the rep on ali sent me that photo and told me they shipped today.

Were those the ones for 18.00 and like 21.00 shipping?

Yeah I believe they were 18 each but shipping ended up being 40$.
