THE BMX TIRE 101

[@joshuabee7333]

You motivated me to start riding BMX at 27. I wanted to as a kid but I couldn't afford it. I don't think I'll ever stop riding. I hit like, I subscribed, and I turned on notifications for your channel. I'm building my second BMX myself and your channel has answered most of my questions. You inspire me to keep pursuing what I love Thank you Mr. Mancuso.

[@CannonGamesV1]

This is literally the best. I know so much about bmx parts but I always ending up learning more by your videos! You should invest in a low echo room or a good mic. Awesome stuff, keep it up!

[@alpre8572]

Jiffy Stiffy honestly his vids are awesome but I don't think he needs to invest in any of those lol... it's not that annoying

Idk my ears are rather sensitive haha

[@Pursnikity_20022]

Cause of your vids I’m now in the process of building a bike from the frame up. Very good info for me to brush up on and learn about the basics of it. Thanks for doing these vids. Helps a lot!!

[@christopherrobinson9690]

Man I binging all your videos and starting to learn the language. Your so easy on the knowledge and I’m getting excited about my new bike if I can ever get it!! Thanks for your time to explain the art!! Hope this slow industry starts to get hopping again. I want a bike!!!

[@TheMd1975]

+ Alfredo Mancuso I like a 2.3 or 2.2 about in front and a 2.2 or even 2.1 in back. Always in black no matter what I always put a slightly bigger tire up front...maybe it's because of my race background from years ago. Plus, and many need to keep it in mind, your front tire hits the ground alot more than the rear when you ride park and dirt due to nosediving for pump. I don't know if it's true, but that tiny extra width in front helps keep your front from washing out as easily (wider= more grip alot of times). Meanwhile the rear is fine being the typical size you like. I use to run a 2.2 Primo Dirt Monster on my front and a 1.95 or 2.1 Primo V Monster in back. 70-80psi and they held up to every single thing I rode. Now I don't know what I want to run lol 😂 I ride street most, but I have some jumps around the corner for most of the spots I ride...so I want a good all round setup with a bit more grip in front (I have a worn Duo in back 2.1 and a worn out Kink 2.2 in front) but, not sure if they are the right choice for the riding I do. Any idea of a setup from what I said that I might want to look into? Hit me back on Twitter or google plus Great video as always bro

[@AlfredoMancuso]

I would recommend the shadow contenders, they knobby enough for dirt, but hold up for park and street :). I run them in 2.35

[@TheMd1975]

Alfredo Mancuso Thanks brother

[@minerbroEDI]

You have taught me so much, now I can take a part a full bmx bike. It's easier than it is. Thank you.

[@jamiefehr2180]

I always get hyped for these videos!

[@derrickallen2054]

Thanks for posting Alfredo, I've been wanting to see a video about tires. Keep up the great work my friend.

[@AlfredoMancuso]

glad you enjoyed it Derrick!

[@itisntspline5249]

Thanks for making it clear, Alfredo. Never seen the video about tires before. Never had any issue with tires but good to know anyway. Riding myself CultxVans. Thank you and keep it up bro

[@808Joshh]

I actually ordered 2 of those purple Merritts that you showed! Im siked, hopefully they are good.

[@ricardofigueroa6754]

Alfredo Mancuso quick question I went to the website but only saw apparel etc, do you guys sell tires on the website ?

[@alpre8572]

Very informative video! One thing I'd like to know is what is a low profile tire? I think I've heard that term before and I don't know what it means

[@AlfredoMancuso]

It just means that its not as tall

[@phoenixerrlybird3634]

Very informative video Alf

[@juancarloslax]

I just bought a used bmx. The tires have some cracks time to be changed. My question here is: tire size is 20x2.35.....they are kind of thick. Can i buy smaller tire size without fitting problems? Maybe a 20x2.0,or 20x1.95 someting like that. Thanks 4 your answers.

[@SensoryAlterations]

"Things that you might run over, like a HEROIN NEEDLE, or whatevers" Bahahaha I thought the streets in my neighborhood were bad

[@tae-007]

Gus Wilkens youll be like whate that orange and white stick??...ooohhh 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Derek_Dkickz]

So I just got a new mafia madmain 20 inch bike and im looking for a extra set of tires so what is the best tire for street then ?? And do you have a website where I can order off you I just started watching your videos good vids

[@michaelfoley1095]

Yo Alf, that's a lot of tire choices for sure, way more than back in 90's. Then again I guess everything has changed a lot since the 90's, getting old. Haha #ALFGANG

[@AlfredoMancuso]

hahah way more than necessary, but theres a lot more riders these days haha

[@NOTHOTlanta]

I like the Odyssey Path Pro 2.4" 100 psi tires. Well made.

[@ethanmoore672]

I'm still riding the tyres my bike originally came with so I want to buy some new ones, does it matter how wide they are(for example my tire says 20"x2.30 on the front and 20"2.20 on the back) so can I buy 2.35 or 2.4 for the front and back. or do they have to be the same width as the ones my bike came with?

[@DiStUrBeDxNaTiOn]

THANK U ALF I BEEN NEEDING THIS

[@mikebird5148]

Damn, great info, learning a crap load about bmx, just getting into it.

[@jmichaelb3632]

Quick question idk how fast youre going to get this but anyways, I put my back tire on backwards and didnt realize it until the chain was full on. Is it something I really need to worry about a whole lot or do you think itll be fine. I'm not a serious rider I just like to ride it to and from work and sometimes to the liquor store and what not, do a few gap and mannies or whatever but i dont really do like spin tricks since i cant fakie for the life of me

[@dominicgordon7268]

i have the donna squeak tires. they work really well and have a pressure rating of 50-110. alf what do you think of the cult dehart slick tires? they seem good

[@dominicgordon7268]

50-110 psi

[@roryotoole6837]

I bought my bike with 2.3 inch wide tires on it. Am i able to put 2.4 inch tires on it ?

[@spencermcnolty3391]

I got BSD Donnasqueak tires and they are amazing, what tires do you run Alf?

[@chantbaste120]

The federal XL RIM with the ak 2.50 tire😍😍😍

thanx alfredo,clear an precise 👌

[@bhking2174]

Chears for the help bro, it rlly helped me out

[@SK8R43]

recap, basically just buy the eclat mirage or maxxis grifter tire. EXTREMELY strong yet extremely lightweight at only 18ozs and not 30 ozs like todays tires.

Are the cult vans tires lightweight but can still with stand like throns and glass? i have the cult deharts and there can take anything but there on the heavy side not a problem though because i love how i dont get flats. Would the switch to a cult vans tire be bad or good?

[@brettlucas954]

Technical asian I would honestly go some eclat fireballs , no flats from cases , light weight, last long I've rode them for the past 6 months and it's barely close to bald

[@HxtFire]

ifi i got a tube that says it fits from 20 x 1.9-2.5, then would it fit a 20 x 1.75 rim?

[@justinkeel5336]

i got a new set of demolition momentums for when it gets nice out (they are white wall) which will replace my current red tires, also got a new wheel set for when it gets nice out aswell

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

there are both lighter tires and tires with higher psi ratings. khe just did it first. they are also like the nicest weight weenie tire if you have money to spend. super grippy, fast rolling, because of how thin they are they have some give, at like 90psi they are perfect in the front. 110 in the rear. but dirt tires are where its at. get one with a smooth center line for street and just enough traction for dirt, the side knobs help for dirt, and can help for park with foot jams. they last longer. the extra side knobs can also protect your sidewalls during grinds. personally used to ride a we the people gripping ot feelin folding tire(now they only have wire beads) and an eclat command tire in the front. the aitken tire is a good alternative. the old shadow tires, in the folding option were a favorite rear tire. rocking a good dirt/park tire up front can be helpful if you ever randomly decide to go dirt jumping. i find slicks only really come in handy if you run really high tire pressure and ride lots of concrete parks.

[@nob0dy27_]

Do i need a wider frame for a wider tire? I'm currently running 2.25" but my tire has a hole so I decided to upgrade to 2.35"

[@flawlessbutdysfunctional7787]

Hey Alfredo I have the Cult Dehart Slicks and I dont think they have any Micro Knurling but they do Chirp ALOT !! I dont think it is the Micro Knurling that makes it Squeak or Chirp ...

[@bigsteve5372]

Also they wouldn't Still Chirp or Squeak if the Micro Knurling would wear off if the Micro Knurling is the reason for the chirp ...... I May Be Wrong This is ONLY my opinion but i Would LOVE to here your thoughts I do really respect your opinion.......
