    Got my tires, Pictures inside!

    Im on the verge of ordering new rear tyres for the Tri-z in time for my ride next weekend and have come to a few decisions, They are going to be Turf tamers and 18 inch in diameter.

    However, two widths are offered 9.5" and 11" What difference will it make between the two and which suits a certain riding style if theres a difference. The price difference is around $20 so nothing to take into consideration.

    Bit late, Derrick advised me on 9.5 while the forums were down and I went ahead and bought them.I will eventually get another set of trail tires I hope they will be ok for now.

    looks good.the 9.5's should do ok,but they will spin like crazy,be warned.you will need to climb with a little more momentum,to compensate for the lack of traction.great tires,but puncture easy.
