    Low profile sliders Ohtsu Tires '85 - '87 era

    I'm assuming they don't make them anymore. But does anybody make anything Simulair to them besides Hoosier?

    not to sure on how they handle myself, ask some of the racers here on the board. If you need some, I have some old H-tracs laying around if you need em.

    Maybe Carlisle will work for you, I've always found that cheaper tires don't seal at the bead area and get sidewall leaks easily. I always pay the extra 20$ a tire and buy XC's XCR's or whatever fancy letters they give to the more expensive tire. I do ride in alot of rocks, ruts and very uneven terrain - not to mention my MX track......

    Nothing is worse than a damn tire that won't hold air, and tubes are useless.
