Any recommendation on brand?

If you particularly want to use those sizes then Pirelli MT16. They look period and work well.

I didn't realize that the Garacross tyres were still available?  Do you carry any Paul?

I don't care if they look period or not, just to be functional.
Vmx on intermediate to hard tracks.
I will look at the metric size equivalents.
Thanks

Yes, watched quite a few races. What a fantastic event! I was so disappointed not to be able to ride, but the bikes and I will be healed ready for next year. Thanks again for storing and transporting the RM for me Ted. This is my first year in VMX and guys like you are the reason why the 'VMX Family' is so good to be a part of. I have met so many great people at BMCC and QVMX, all friendly and ready to give advice, we have a good laugh too. Steep learning curve for me, but I still have a lot of fun at the tail end. Can't wait till next year's races, more great camaraderie, and everyone was right, one bike is not enough, so now I have three :)
