Qing Da Tire

[DKavcak]

So...I bought the cheapest "GNCC Tread Pattern" tire I could find for my Blaster (10" ITP Rear Wheels)
These set me back about $93 for the pair and were shipped to my door in about three days from Amazon.

Let me start off by saying they were a pain to seat the bead.

The first tire I had to spray brake cleaner inside the tire, around the bead, light it on fire, and then keep spraying until there was enough gas inside the tire to seat the bead.

The second tire I just manhandled and used my air gun with the trigger taped.

First impressions, I like the tread pattern a lot. The tread goes all the way around the tire and tapers slightly into the sidewall, so you got a lot of mechanical grip regardless of how tipped over you are.
Also, they list the metric equivalent size on the tire (not that it's that important).
These are also 4-Ply, so they seem fairly strong.

Here is a link to the tire: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WHQK7QY/?tag=jyj356j5-20

I will let everyone know how they do this weekend since I'm riding in Michaux State Forest with the girlfriend and her family.

Probably from the bottom of the pile.i sometimes use starting fluid.quick spray around bead,trail down side of tire and foot or two on floor. Ligjt from floor.instant inflation.make sure valve core is in

Also dawn dish soap on bead and rim.
Or I guess you can try KY

Getting alittle personal with the rubber there

Seems some of those cheap tires the bead is a touch smaller

That's only for the bedroom...although that never seems to be an issue

Getting alittle personal with the rubber there

Correct!

So I rode in Michaux State Forest (Fayetteville, PA) and these things GRIP and I mean they grip hard.
It might be the fact that I got used to bald rear tires, but I like these things!

Tires are awesome!

Psh, I wish we had snow. I only go to go snowboarding once this year.
It's been cold-ish, but not on a daily basis.

I highly recommend them. Seating them is a pain though.
