Not well at all...Maybe if you were just going on a practice day to have fun. Go buy a set of 18 or 20 inch sur-traks mounted on .190 rims, and put them on before you go to the track.

I would get a set of 18" or 20" tires depending on the track, and get holeshots or turftamers.

Hey 250Rampage... do the Sur Traks really do a good job at the track? I am looking for something that will do the trails and mud good, but won't sacrifice much performance for when I decide to hit the MX track. I won't be racing (at least I don't think I will) just hanging out and riding w/ friends.
I will be looking at 22" tires though, cuase I want the clearance for the trails... much effect?


Any input would be great!

ARGHH...I can't believe I did that...I meant turf-tamers, not sur-traks.

DANG IT !!!! I was afraid that you were going to say something like that. I want the most agressive tire I can get that will still perform on an MX track.

Any suggestions?

lol.. 250Rampage, i was going to slap you! You could probably try Relators. You can turn them around for mud and sand, then turn them back around for MX and trails. Really great tire!

Yeah I looked at Realtors, but I didn't figure they were too welcome on the MX tracks. Now if I can just come up w/ the money I will be set.
Of course by then Pure Sport will make a 22" Bandit that actually is 22" tall and I will have to go through all this again. :-)

Well my other choice would be Holeshots but the track I race at is a lot of mud and the Holeshots slip tooo much!
