Well, 27 days, 3 visits and several phone calls later, I got my tires! The wheels need torn down and rebuilt before I mount them, but couldn't resist mounting one on something! So, i threw one on an old Weinmann MTB rim. Granted it's a lot narrower than the stock rims, but dang they're fat! So, mo fatta, mo betta!
Proof of their size from the tags.
I like the slick center with brick tread sides, BTW, these can be inflated to 50 psi, so they should roll nicely.
Another bonus, no graphics on the sidewalls to scrub off.
Love how far it sticks out beyond the rim. :mrgreen:
Compared to a Thick Brick (on a wider rim, these will widen slightly on the stock 2.125 wide Higgins units)
Compared to a Schwalbe Fat Frank mounted on a similar width rim, it's a little fatter and a little flatter.
Eyeballing what it might look like on the front and rear, sure does fill those fenders in.
So, that's it, here they will hang until called into action.
The bike will probably sit until Thanksgiving time, then I'll start the teardown.
Until then....
Cheers brothers,
