Its going on my Tallboy LTC. Jonkers, red, black etc. Hard riding. Im heavy too so i want wide and strong. Definitely not AC. Their wheels are way to soft, i break them like biscuits.

Wtb i35 front and a flow or arc rear.

 

I35 are super wide, will be super stiff and give u loads of front wheel traction.

 

Problem with wider rims though is that the rear tire side knobs get torn or wear very quickly, but maxxis have started making tyres for the wide rims like the "minion wt". They are hard to find at the moment. If u can deal with changing rear tires every few months then get a super wide rear.

I dont ride to much, so for now i should be fine on my current magic mary and hans dampf. Thanks for the info on the minion wt though.

New Stans Flow look very good...lightish and strong

 

I know. The ONLY problem i have with ZTR is that they are such mainstream wheels, everyone has them(and i know its coz they are good). I like having more unique bike stuff. Thats why i paint all my bikes too.

So paint your ZTR's as well...as you said...there's a reason everyone use them.
