Well they don't say NOS. that would be awesome if they are cuz my original tri trac's are getting dry rotted.

Damn. I'm about to be out $250 because there is no way I'm not buying at least one set. Plus the cost of a pair of 10" wheels......I need a second job.

X2 That would be awesome.

X2 That would be awesome.

If that happened, I would purchase a updated tire groover, Jackie Meadows style!

This is how im gonna groove mine, best tires.....ever




@jays375 - They have them in the 30 compound...those are hard as rocks (work awesome in loose stuff once grooved). Most everyone used the 20 compound..they had the 05 but it was marshmellow soft and would rip apart on anything but wet clay.

Did you groove those and did you come up with the pattern?

I can't believe you didn't bend the crap out of those hubs, I tacoed a few. (I see a Ohlins too)

[3WW Star-John_Neary]

Yeah i grooved all my own tires except the time i ran HardLine fronts that Terry Varner was selling for Quads in the very early days when there was next to nothing for front tires.They where Pirelli tire meant for some Euro box micro car that he would groove up, worked awesome.



Needed one of those $300 high end groovers to make them and i never had one of those, i did all mine with the crappy little $70 type...nice work out for the arms.




I never had trouble with hubs or race grade axles but i DNF'ed a ton of races by flat spotting rear wheels once we moved to the 10 inch wheel..cost me the world championship in 86 at Riverside..still finished third with a flat rear but i was gonna win by half a lap if not for that dang flat.

[jays375]

So the 30 would work well with tracks that are more dirt?

[3WW Star-John_Neary]

@jays375 - Only if you groove them, the big triangle blocks normally will wanna get up on top of marbles and float but if you add a few 1/4 inch opening in them they bite right in and are hooked up.

If you have ever followed like F1 racing you know the second the track even semi dries out after a rain those guys go right for the slicks even if its a huge risk because of damp spots. Its like that with a three wheeler when riding MX...if you go with a knobby tire you will lose so much time in like the fast sweeper turns there is no way to make it up in the couple loose sections.

I used them in pretty much every race i rode in 86. (please excuse the Quad pic)



Even loose tracks like Glen Helen id use them with good results.

Type of groover id use, they would wear out every couple months and stop getting hot but we used the crap out of them. They cost like $70.



The reason the 30s work better in loose stuff is the same reason sand tires for a motocross bike are a hard compound, its so the knobs do not bend and so you do not lose their sharp edges in the first ten minutes of use. You can get half a season out of a pair of 30 compound Hoosiers, i did.
