Wide 20" tire... cheap, partial review

[yoothgeye]

This is only a partial review because I have not mounted this tire yet, just got it in the mail today. Found it on Amazon, under $13 shipped ($6.96 for tire, $6.75 shipping). Listed as 20x4.25"

Here it is in the box, no issues with shipping:

Out of the box:

Looks really good, I like the tread better than the tread on my OCC choppers.

Close up of the tag:

This says 4 1/4", the ad said 4.25... not sure if this is going to be a problem, you know the old "decimal vs. fractional" tire size garbage. I wanted to try to put this on a regular 20" rim. The tire sidewall also says 4 1/4", it is an Innova tire. I don't remember if my OCC tires are decimal or fractional.

Those are pretty cool (and cheap). Let me know if it works on 20x2 rims. I think Outlaw did that with some OCC tires and they looked pretty cool.

im checking out the pie :lol:

I bought he same tire for my 'Phantom of the OCC' build. Can't wait to see your review, considering mine won't be mounted for a LOOONNNGGGGG time!

Cheers,

Great price for sure I wanna see it mounted!

 

[kingfish254]

Just don't put it on your tall bike.
The fine print says "improper use could result in a serious accident". :mrgreen:

I don't care about those tires. All i care about what kind of pie is that in the back? Looks yummy!

 

[yoothgeye]

Will try to mount it on something soon.

As for the "pie" it's actually a cookie cake, and I'm just polishing it off right now. Yummy.

 

[OUTLAW]

yes, I did mount two of the 4.25 tires on narrow rims. works good. look at STREET DIGGER.

Do you remember if the OCC tires say 4.25 or 4 1/2 on the sidewall, I'm to lazy to walk out to the shop to check. haha

 

[yoothgeye]

Oh, so you didn't bring enough pie for everybody? Man...

There's always plenty of pie at my house for everyone... all you gotta do is show up. Summer is coming, people coming up and down I-95 on trips, I'm less than 10 minutes off the interstate, come in for a visit, leave with free bike parts... and "pie."

If I beat you to it, I'll look... or I could look in the back of my wife's minivan, there is an OCC Chopper disassembled in the back, been there for over 2 weeks, waiting for it's eviction notice, she even brought home groceries with it back there. :lol:

..., been there for over 2 weeks, waiting for it's eviction notice, she even brought home groceries with it back there. :lol:

That is love.

 

[MplsCoaster]

What are you going to put it on? What's the plan, man?

You better get it out of there before she kicks it (or you) to the curb.

Uhhhh... I really don't know, but I did take it out of the house today, and the OCC tires (which are also branded Innova) are also 20x4 1/4, as far as I'm concerned, the tread on the tire I just bought is much better looking than the OCC tires, they are cheaper, and they don't have all the dumb sidewall printing. Just for kicks, I grabbed a triple wall Alex BMX rear wheel and put the tire on it. No tube, just to see if it fits, and it does. I've got ideas, but not really sure yet, what I have in mind, this will be the "narrow" tire and it will be the front. :shock:

Get some OCC Axles and use it on a 20x2 rim as the front tire on Sand Rover! 8)
