17" tyres - is it worth changing?
« on: August 16, 2007, 09:12:06 pm »
What is the best 17" tyre available for VMX in peoples opinion ????  I have a Kenda Trackmaster and its looking sad.....wondering if I need to attack it with a Stanlery knife to get some edge grip back.

Also is the limited selection worth the cost and hassle of changing to an 18?  Is so is there any need to shag around with changing sprocket sizes?

I've never heard of Fortune before and cant find a website either.  Can you provide any more details or who stocks them in Australia?  Thanks
