Are those the CST 9x3.5”? What is optimal rim width?
They’re good ride wise. Compound could be a bit harder. They start to look a bit dark after a while but nothing bad like white wheels.
Made a go kart for my son with them a few years back.

Does anyone know of any true rubber offroad tires? almost everything in this thread is nylon.
I found just the tyres on Ali.
Full octo-pneumatic stupidity.

This is the one that actually arrived, and the tyres weren’t dry rotted. But it got twice as expensive since the last time I bought it. At this price, if you live in North America, just get the Hoyt tyres.
There’s a 2x cheaper listing on “Tian store”. I ordered it the first time, but they only sent me the tubes and forgot the tyres. I got my money back, no problem.

They say it was a logistics error, so they might still have them.

These are cheaper than aliexpress and are rated to 100psi.

Doncha know? The new version is always better than the old version in every way! Don’t buy the old version from other companies, buy the new ‘better’ version from us instead!
I think he said they are more comfortable when you are riding at zero psi instead of thirty five psi.
Is this website legit to buy from?
I kind of want these…
Are these new, or have I just been blind somehow?
They’re new to MBS, for their new eMTBs. Newbee and others have been selling those for a while though.

Is there any way that these will fit on rockstar 2s? Or any 3d printed parts I could add that would allow them to fit.
I’m pretty sure they won’t. As far as MBS wheels, things with a 100 mm opening need Fivestars or Rockstar II Pro XLs, afaik. Those have the extra lip for the larger diameter.

Maybe ask around on the 3d print thread. See if anyone has a file for a lip for MBS hubs.
