Hey guys, looking to grab a new set of tires soon and I'm a bit stuck. Heres my situation, I have a first gen BTM so it doesnt have the crazy wide chain stays like a lot of new frames do to run all these 2.3 and bigger tires. Along with the fact my wheels untrue due to the fact I have a hop in my back wheel. My lbs "thats as true as its going to get with that hop" after truing my wheels. I didn't think it was that bad of a hop at all that but ill have to try to fix that myself once my spoke wrench comes in. I also wouldn't like any extremely heavy 2lb tires either because I like to keep my rotational weight down if I can. Tires are the easiest/cheapest way to do that.
I'd like something with something with some cushion but not so big that my wheels going to be rubbing my frame constantly. I ride mostly street/park, I like to go fast as hell but I don't want some ASM type of tire like most look like now.
These tires below stuck out to me. I also would prefer to order off transition BMX or 3ride but willing to order from any site really.
S&M Speedball 2.1 because it's a solid weight, s&m's a good company so I trust they make a good tire, it looks good and they are 2.24 inflated.
Fit FAF 2.3 night vision or black because they are thick, fast, decently grippy, and inflated width is 2.2. I know these wear out quick though as I had a 2.10 back in the day but everything is slick already it seems...
Eclat fireball tire black 2.3 because eclats a solid company and I know stevie rides hard. 2.3 inflated is 2.2, a bit heavy but I imagine its due to it being heavy duty for stevie's abuse
Open to suggestions as well! Would love to hear your opinions. Thank you.
