I am going to be finishing my predator 99 build soon and need good tires. I'm thinking maybe 2.125. Pirate Cycles has some, are they tough enough to go 40mph? At only $15 it's tempting... I like the brick pattern tires. I need high speed stability, and balloon tires will not work for my bike.
inexpensive heavy duty tires?
- Thread starter young grease monkey
- Start date
Just get a good quality, name brand tire.
I routinely have this bike up to 40mph on downhill runs, no issues, and that's on a 26x1.5 tire.

I'd go with Kenda or Maxxis.
I have 2.75 maxxis on the front rubbing the fork, I even took a file and some scissors, could not get the side knobs worn down much. Even after 30 miles they still rub less then 1/8th an inch. I can't say it's a great tire yet but I'll be throwing the rear maxxis on soon too at around 30 (Mine are super knobbly) feels and sounds like a swamp mudder truck XD

A bit more expensive but good for sure.
