The Official BMX Tire Puncture Test! *See Which Tire Holds Up The Best*

Here's another BMX part information video and this one is about BMX tires! We explain the differences between steel wire tires and the lightweight kevlar folding tires and we also do a puncture test by creating real world everyday puncture situations by riding over glass, staples and thumbtacks! If you would like more information or would like to purchase tires then check out my Bike Shop's online store at www.scbicycles.com

as an old retired dirt rider, the maxxis holy rollers were the goat back in the day. indestructible and tons of grip

it's true, but us poorboys used the primo wall.

I couldn't agree more. I've been throwing on the same pair of Holy Rollers every autumn/winter for years. They've never let me down.

[@Sunspot-19]

I loved the Holy Rollers on my street punk I call a bike!!

I’ve been running Stan’s sealant on all my tires. Just pour some into the inner tube. Haven’t had a flat from punctures in years. Highly recommended.

Do this again with tubeless bmx tires! I've seen mtb videos where they run over a board flat tire death gap style and lots of sealant comes out but the tire keeps holding air.

[@makncheese6836]

Well the problem with that is it's made for punctures and usually goes really low on psi which means rim strikes are easier

[@MerchantOfDeath15]

Hey scotty, I love the videos you put out!! But I noticed when you compared the weights of the Cult X Vans tires, that the folding tire is a 2.1 and the steel bead is a 2.4. This will definitely have an affect on the real weight difference as now tire width becomes a factor. The point you made regarding bead material is accurate, if you look at the Eclat Mirage tire in 2.35, with folding coming in at 555Grams, and the non-folding (steel bead) coming in at 615grams there's clearly a difference. That's a total weight difference of only 60grams or 2.1 Ounces when you compare the bead material by itself. Cheers! And have a great weekend, everyone!

[@Smootles89]

Im very happy you do educational vids for the people scott. Thanks man

[@martinfleming6879]

Can you and the guys do a review of what pads you ride in . I've found it's not something people seem to talk about openly.

[@Sunspot-19]

EXO happens to be nothing more than a layer of fabric added to the casing to give reinforcement. Frankly, I hated the ride quality and reduced traction of EXO to the point that I gave a very expensive pair of tires to a fellow rider that weighs 40 #'s more than I do. Being that I weigh 125 #'s, post cancer treatment, I need a tire that can conform to the terrain without having to be grossly underinflated. Trials riding background lends to the supple tire requirement I have instituted. Needless to say, Scotty, I am glad to see you playing bikes and doing well. Continue mending and groovin'!!

[@TheMikebagley]

The OG fly Rubens are the best tires ever made

[@Ash1983.]

I had the tall order wall ride tyres and got 4 punctures in one riding spot , brought Bsd Donna squeak not had a problem since

Maybe try a Puncture Tester to see how much force each tires sidewall takes.

Question....I don't ride BMX but I am a avid MTB rider. I run tubeless with sealant which would definitely seal up everything you guys ran over(obviously different tires). Do you ever run a tubeless set up with sealant to stop small punchers like this?

[@PSOCrocker]

How about showing how to use a patch kit! Have never seen one work ever! Always have to buy a new tube.

Should have tried something like Schwalbe Big Ben Plus that has some serious puncture protection, because some street riders want to ride places where there's a major risk of punctures.

[@mrcheezle6]

The tires are still good afterwards. Just need new tubes. As long as they're just small holes

[@LeoTheLion.4601]

Rode primo wall in the back and primo V-monster in the front back in the day early 2000 to mid 2000

[@jeffstreck]

I felt the wall was a bit heavy for me, so I had a V-Monster out back (1.95) and a Dirt Monster out front (2.1). I loved that for everything until I got an Animal GLH. That killed.

I personally love my Federal Commands, but I got a pair of Ross Odyssey Keyboard tires on an old bike I bought off Craigslist and they are actually super dope

[@samuelsloth6730]

I hope more high end tech comes to bmx. For road bikes vittoria makea a 300+ tpi tires they are smooth. I run the exo grifters I usually run around 60 psi and I love them. Probably going to go from a 2.4 to 2.3 to get better clearance. I run tubeless also which actually lowers rolling resistance and feel of the tire like upgrading the tpi and i dont have to worry about flats really. Drops weight too compared to a regular tube.

[@Marvin-vo6ot]

Devon smilies fuego tires are amazing. I’ve been riding for a while and I’ve only gotten 1 flat. Look slick but extremely grippy

[@AllProMast3r]

There are different KHE Mac 2 tyres. They vary in weight and sidewall strength. Would be nice to see a test of the KHE Mac2+ Proof tyre. It has a puncture proof layer and stronger sidewalls.

[@BangarangNuke88]

Here where I live, we have what's called a goat head. It's a thorn with multiple points. And they are tire destroyers. Which is why I run Tire liners. Plastic inner liner to prevent flats.

[@ReVolt_e-Vlogs]

Use 4ozs of Tire Slime in each tire, either prior to getting a flat or right after, & if it starts leaking after that, let the tire rest over the area of hole, & leave alone for a few hours, & then refill & you're good to go, if you can't wait, just still fill it up & you'll still be good, but it's better to let it rest & really seal the hole

[@scottgarmon4865]

You and Matt should come up with a non squeak brake pad. Btw how are the BMX disk brakes coming along?

[@dime_life4768]

You have to "toe in" your brakes.. Wrap a zip tie on the backside of the brake pad, closet to the forks (use them as a spacer between the pad and rim). Then zip tie your brake lever all the way in...Loosen your brake pad and make sure the front of the pad hits first! Tighten pad in to place (Toe in) problem solved!

[@EB-hf4wp]

Only the best of engineers have a magnet in hand 😄

[@aaranchristopher]

Best thing to use be a foam tube if your worried about flats. Foam tube will last until the tire tear half way around in the center of the tread with the tube showing lol

Can someone explain why making sure your tires are facing the right direction matters? I remember watching Spencer’s foresman build a bike and he talked about it. But I wasn’t wondering what if affects and if it’s really a big deal or not

[@jeffmeadors6930]

For looks, so it looks good and for more grip since tires are made to grip. But it does not matter as much on a bike as it does on cars atv, etc. However if you ride dirt I am sure it will help for them to be correct.

[@MrIncorr3ct]

I have tube protector things inside my tyres which work pretty well so far. U can also get those gel lined inner tubes which are "self-plugging"... they say they are puncture proof but I dont think thats entirely true. Has anyone thried these? are they worth it?
