grooved car tires

[smith_400ex_213]

for those that are running the grooved car tires for mx...were are u guys ordering them from and what are the names of the tires....

[TC426EX]

I used to order mine from Nac's, and I know Baldwin sells 'em too, although I forget the name of them. Call either of those places up and theyd be able to help you out....

Some were Rikens (nac's), Marshall (K&K)

[NacsMXer]

Don't forget the Kumhos! :p Does anybody else miss running the grooved radials? I used to run the Marshalls from Nac's and they worked awesome, lasted forever too. About the only place they didn't work was loose dirt and mud, but other than that they were phenomenal MX tires. They seem to have much less sidewall roll than the Klaws I run now but on the other hand, are much less plush than the Klaws.

I still have a good set of the Rikens I got from Nac's. Very good except for mud, and they last forever.

I'm not sure what exact model the Kumhos are since I've never used them before. I ran the Marshall radials in the past. I've had experience with both tires and they are pretty equal.

The radials are going to accept a 10 inch rim with a width between 5 and 6 inches. This should narrow down your choices pretty well if you're buying directly from Kumho tires.

I am currently running the grooved kumhos. For the mx tracks I run, mostly dry and hard, they work perfect and have showed almost no sign of wear. But if you run into an over watered or muddy track it takes a few laps for the track to come to the tires. I just bought a set of Razr mx to use in the wet conditions.

Same here, I was running holeshot MXs but went back to the Kumho,Turf Tamer combo and LOVE it. I even Bought another set off ebay for a spare set.

The Kumho's i could find were from K&K and they were 20-6-10. I have a 7-10 rim, will that work?? I cant find 6-10 rims. Thanks.

You'll be fine, the tires will compensate for the half inch gap on each side of the rim.

Anyone ever wonder what kinda crap car these tires were intended for? Yea I got dem 20's on there man, nah de tens, de tens :p

I do almost every time I race on them. I bet the car that they come on handles just as good as my quad does on them!!!lol ;) :D

We sell the Kumho tires and can groove them here. The grooved radial are my favorite tire for a good tacky mx track:)

What pattern do you use when you grove them? Nacs or JL?

[smith_400ex_213]

we i see that the same model on the internet for like 20 some bucks so if i could buy some of those and groove them my self it would be a lot cheaper

[dirtmomma]

I run Camac NC80's on mine, they work good on some of our flattrack & TT tracks also :)

You can pick the Kumo's up @ Les Scwhab for about $35 a tire ungrooved, thats where our buddy just got his!!

We have our own pattern for grooving the tires;)

What does it look like? Do you have a link to some pics? And by the way, Grooving the radials is a pain in the *****. Its worth the extra $$$$$ to have them shipped that way!

[Colby@C&DRacing]

I don't have any pics sorry. I agree grooving is a pain in the butt. it takes me hours to groove them
