[ptomp]

i have just bought a set of khumo 145-10 radial tires from a automotive tire shop .I am going to grove them but i do not know what pattern to cut the tread .If anyone has some good photos that they could post or e-mail me that would be awesome.The machine is a 400 ex with + 2 arms and elka's if that makes any difference my e-mail is kyle797@earthlink.net

I never knew you could get them through an shop like that. How much did they run you?

i just got some kumho through christian paul motorsports grooved similar to the pic posted i like the look for the tires and i hear they last forever and work good:cool:

I hear they are awesome for mx but they suck when the track gets muddy.

[mxdave28]

Is there actually a "good" tire for when its muddy on a Mx track??? ive had couple different styles of fronts and they all seem to suck when its muddy on the track,since someplaces are deep sticky mud, some are deep soupy mud and of couse ya have the slick as glass corners. i try to ride usling the snow turning style, slap the breaks and pitch it! :D :blah

YEA the radials do last a very long time because they are car tires and are made for pavement so hard pack dirt is not gonna wear em out too quick :cool:

[ptomp]

does anyone else have some photos of the tread pattern on the grooved radials

What do you use to groove those radials like that? Ive seen them in pics a million times but could never figure out how it was done.

[ptomp]

you use a tire groover or hot knife it is a tool that has an electricly heated cutting blade on it they are usualy 75 bucks .the groover peels the rubber off .it is not hard to do however i am having a hell of a time finding a decent picture of a grooved tire so i can copy the pattern on my tires

i found a good groove for my turf tamers on www.eastcoastatv.com plus you can see some bad *** bikes on that site. look at gilbet attix lll walsh crf450 its bad *** and my dream MX bike.
