BMX Tires EXPLAINED | Folding vs Non Folding

[@cx4130]

Currently running Odyssey BROC 2.25 at 65 psi. Since you asked, there are flatland specific tires out there. The Odyssey Frequency-G, Ares A-Class, Motel Works MB25, Panaracer HP406 and others. Keep up the good work! 20% crew!

[@jacobdickson4839]

Same but 55psi and 2.4

[@JustVictor72]

Hey Brant! I’m running folding Bsd Donnastreet 2.3 front back on 80 psi and mostly street riding. Thinking of lowering to 60 psi to get softer feel on bunny hops and also to lessen impact on my wrists...😅

[@kevinczuba3765]

Merritt Options 2.35 running an average of 80psi. Tried to throw the Phantom 2.5s but not a match with brakes 😄

[@johnsmith-i5u]

Excellent video!! I'm totally new to folding tires, but nevertheless bought a pair to replace my 16 year old tires. You've gone through a very detailed explanation comparing folding vs wire bead tires. I've bought 700 x 35C tires primarily for urban street use. I've yet to install them. Looking forward to riding with the new tires ( & new inner tubes).

[@giulio.nicotra]

I run Odsy Broc tyre 2.4 at 60-75psi But i have to say that i fall in love with my old tyres (Eclat mirage 2.35), perfect balance of tire size, weight and rubber compound

[@treeratkomolwejakul]

I now run KHE mac2+ 2.3" folding tires at 60psi, as you said they are so light in the air.✌

[@jaredcrabtree2526]

I’m running the akin tires right now awesome tires ❤️same size 80 pounds

[@MrMasterninjakiller]

Been waiting for this one. Thanks Brant. Running 2.35 demolition momentums at 90psi.

[@VAustin89]

I have used Fit T/A, Animal X T-one, Eclat fireballs, Flybike Rampera and Merritt. I have blown most of the Fit T/A on the sidewalls but I still like them, the Fireballs are grippy and last long when running brakeless.. On my next purchase I would like to try Subrosa's and BSD's.

[@Todd66]

Really good job on this video. Very impressed.

[@Brant_Moore]

Hey thank you!!!

[@Todd66]

@@Brant_Moore I watch a lot of videos on KZbin and have for some time. When I need information, I like it done well and done right. I have become demanding with my content so when I see something I consider good, it’s worth mentioning and liking to keep it alive with the all mighty algorithm. Have a great weekend.

[@iosiflengyel1835]

Thank You Sir.

Happy to help!

Eclat mirage 2.4 front and back. 50-60psi

Im running 2.25 BSD Donnasqueak Tyre and they tick all the right boxs for me the front's on 60 psi and the backs on 80 psi 👍

Wish they'd bring the asm tire back !!

Video posted as I was putting on my shin pads to go ride for the first time since I hurt my wrist. I’ll watch this first then go attempt to shred.

[@Brant_Moore]

I appreciate you man! Hope that wrist feels alright when you do ride

[@pauljames1978]

@@Brant_Moore Ive bin riding today asewell rode my old local skate park in Barnstaple in the UK braking in my new bmx still feels new

[@trilldan8327]

Sprained my wrist pretty bad almost a week ago trying a hop spin? Not a regular bar spin but just lifting my front end up and bar spinning. Needless to say I fell backwards on my ass and took most the weight on my hand. I was able to ride a bit today. Can't hop but was able to practice some manuals. Weather is perfect for riding right now so I'm kinda sad that I'm not 100%. Be safe!

[@Brant_Moore]

Ah man that’s a bummer. I hope it feels 100% ASAP!

[@pauljames1978]

1:27 In racing i had a 2.125 comp 3 on the front and a 1.95 comp 3 on the back 👍

[@observingrogue7652]

Thank you.

[@indritsharka5749]

I run the Stranger Crux 2.40 tires they have a max of 110 psi but I usually ride them around 40-50-55 psi...They seem kinda heavy sometimes when I bunny hop or in 180s but they actually have held up for 7 months of use and are still going!!!(I will change them in a week or too with some (DSI SRI-30 20x2.30)which actually look like 2.40 2.50 tires when you seem them in person)

[@stevenroark6727]

Bought the Merritt Phantom tires ( Brandon Begin signatures ) and they have been my favorite tires I’ve rode and I tried A LOT of different tires they are super light they felt like i was riding balloons 🎈when I first put them on ( I run them at 60 psi )

[@nicopena6903]

im between the cinema williams tires and the phantom how is the grip on the phantom? i see thats so slick and i think its a thing who need to worry can you tell more of the tire? to see what should i buy

[@stevenroark6727]

I would buy the Merritt they are super light and grippy they are 2.5 too so they are really big they look really good in person too

[@andreizenad3067]

Man! Luv all your videos. From the philippines📍

[@stratko]

Nice video Brant there is quite some useful information in this. Also I like to run the BSD Donnastreet tries in 2.4s front and rear at 40 to 45 psi for when I'm riding heavy street but pump them up to 50 or 60 psi if I'm just cruising around looking spots.

[@Brant_Moore]

Thank you! I’m curious what difference you notice on things going from 50-60 to 40-45 for heavy street? I never let air out of my tires so I have no experience there and am curious if it could help

[@stratko]

@@Brant_Moore Thanks for the reply yes it can help if you don't have a car or can't get a ride to the spot or skatepark. 50-60 makes getting around town easier and makes your bike feel less sluggish on the road so you get less tired and save energy. If you use your BMX for long distance transportation like I do. Then for heavy street I drop to 40-45 just to help with the wrists for big drops and gaps. Also personal preference I feel like the lower PSI helps with my control on a brakeless setup.

[@shakedinbar2162]

brant thanks alot ! do you think it is smart to set up a wire bead tyre on rear and kevlar on front, also having biger size on front just to save some rotational weight on front but still have a decent support for street bangers with a wire beaded tyre on the back since it takes the first impact ? i feel like its a good idea but the only problem is the front takes lateral impacts and kevlar is weaker, so is the idea worth it?

[@Brant_Moore]

It does make sense!

[@jamesowena7x]

The Corey Walsh tires at 85 psi is the move.😛

Thanks for the video dude very informative & a lot of people don't know about the wire bead vs. Folding tire I had no idea. I remember when I changed my 🏔️ 🚲 🛞 I was like why the fuck won't this tire fold that I took off but the one I just bought is all floppy 💾 lol 🤔 now i understand

[@bighashgang1990]

So the folding tires you can run tubeless?

[@Brant_Moore]

It’s possible on Alienation’s TCS rims, but their tires work better for it I believe
