What tires will people be running this year on the playa? I'm still in the swamp of indecision, but I've got about 24h to decide or not :D If you
are bringing lots of sets then which do you plan to use... I'm considering thin knobby tires as ribbed for the purpose of this scientific survey action jackson - 20-3-2011 at 10:40 AM
4 ply slicks are the way to go!.............ajKYTE SLINGER - 20-3-2011 at 11:08 AM
+1 on the 4ply slicks but I won't be going again this year

Disc wheels for sure,....I think at least 4 Apexx Buggys on Discs,.... with motorcycle tyres,...geokite - 20-3-2011 at 11:25 AM
Other: 16-6.5x8 wide, with ribbed thread, see http://www.amazon.com/Carlisle-Straight-Lawnmower-Tire-16x6-... but you can find them cheaper. I've found that other brands don't have as much
rubber and wear out very quickly. I went through one of these cheapie tires in three trips to the desert, on the front tire.arkay - 20-3-2011 at 11:37 AM
Disc wheels are for cool people, I'll have rims with spinners and a sub-woffer mounted on the back. But what tires will you have on the wheels? Ozzy

I have ribbed barrows mounted and 2 sets of 4 ply slicks as backup. Bigfoots would be nice on the out n back.kitemaker4 - 20-3-2011 at 01:55 PM

As a local who goes to ivanpah every weekend that there's wind I run 4 ply slicks. Which seems to b the choice of the locals and most of us run

missing by then.ripsessionkites - 21-3-2011 at 05:41 PM
