WTB: Huge knobby tires for cheap

[Bryguy17]

Hey guys, I'm gearing up for mammoth, and I need to get some better tires for my bike. right now I'm running a 2.5 Blue Groove 2.5 F and 2.35 nevegal rear.

I have a few more I'm going to get from someone else, but it looks like I might not be able to get in touch with him before this weekend so :?:

Basically, I'm just looking for a big, knobby mofo of a tire. 2.5-2.7, good side knobs. Must fit in my Reign X (room for at least a 2.5). 2-ply, wire bead only. I want grip, and don't mind sacrificing rolling resistance.

Most importantly, I'm looking for a good price. I'm already on a tight budget for the trip itself. I don't mind used tires, as long as they aren't too far towards the end of their life, and don't have huge holes in the sidewall.

Also, I need to be able to meet up with you by the end of the week so I can get them setup on the bike etc. I'm in fullerton, and can meet people at the loop easily, or I can meet people elsewhere in the surrounding areas fairly easily if needed.

Lemme know whatcha got!

Looks pretty knobby to me...

The reviews seem pretty damn good. Looks like it was made just for Mammoth.

4-ply should be plenty of pinch protection.

Bry, if you don't buy these, I will.

Call Jim at Adrenaline. He has new sets of .243 dh tires for $20 a pair. They are big 2.6" tires like the Nikians.

dont know where you live but I go to adrenaline to buy there huge supply of 243 racing's the shore tire, all they have is 2.6 freeride with dual side wall wire beads

the best part is that they are only 10 bucks a tire new
they are pretty much dirt bike tires, i weigh 250 and run these at around 25 psi you have to break them in on a couple runs then they reeeeaaalllly start hooking up.

Thanks guys. I may swing by adrenaline after work and maybe pick up some of those too. You can never have too many rediculously huge tires, right?
