RomP Posted April 29, 2021 Share Hi Hubbers ( those that dare ride these DJ bikes :-) ) Looking for some recommendations on 26 x 2.25 - 2.35 tyres. Will be used on BMX track, Tar and Gravel pump tracks. Since there is ZERO availability of any DJ tyres in SA, it will have to be imported so i want to be sure when i buy, to buy the right tyres. 1. Overseas reviews rate the MAXXIS Holy Rollers as one of the best all round tyres for DJ... Anyone here with an opinion on these tyres ? 2. Also the Kenda small block 8 tyres come highly recommended, but these are hard to come by, even overseas. Any feedback on these ? 3. Has anyone imported tyres recently ? and from where ? 4. And lastly, any chance anyone has perhaps seen these tyres locally, hidden away behind a rack in a shop somewhere ?

MORNE Posted April 29, 2021 Share the maxxis DTH is also nice. super fast rolling. had a pair on a 26" Cotic bfe for a while. they also look super on a bike...and come in skinwall. I sold them in 2 seconds flat on here so i'm assuming they are quite popular too. Edited April 29, 2021 by MORNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted April 29, 2021 Share If you cant find anything specific, then have a look at conti X king or race kings. I think Evo bikes might have some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morne, Yes the DTH is also highly recommended...what is it like on dirt...most pump tracks locally are dirt track, worried about grip in the berms .

Mongooser Posted April 29, 2021 Share small block 8s ftw, had a set last over 3 years, roll pretty fast on dirt and tar, DTH's are great for street, not the best on dry loose dirt jumps tho, Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
