I couldn't afford to race like that.



Think I should buy some of these 28" slicks? I just don't wanna buy a tire that is too big or too small, and I'm not sure how to figure out what I need. $$$ when you gotta buy 4, so I only want to do it once.


Oh and I do sometimes get a bit of the 3 wheel peel on my 20's:peelout:

Reason being, my source for tires could get these or the bfg's these were the cheaper of the 2.
