i know that buffing the tires takes of weight but does it make the tire not as durable? should you dune ride with them ? what exactly happens when they buff them?

 

A double buff would be ok for mild trail riding. When they buff them they take rubber off of the tire and make it thinner. When it is a tripple buff, they buff it from bead to bead. Real light and thin, not good for trail riding. If you ride alot of dunes it more then likely would be better to just get regular buffs. They will hold up good to rocks and sticks and jumps. If all your going to do is drag race, then get tripple buffs.

 

Ive got a set of medium buff 8 paddles that have held up really good. Im not nice to them at all and have have no problems in two seasons. My .02

 

My double buff extremes are bead to bead, just an FYI....

 

Mine also, bead to bead

 

As far as I know bead to bead = double buff. I bought these to save some weight when I lightened the drivetrain with the 520 conversion. I am very happy with them, they seem pretty tough and saved me 4 pounds each over the same standard buff on 10" .190s.
