mhoksch Posted December 12, 2012 Report Posted December 12, 2012 I dont have a truck to haul my banshee this winter but I live less than a half mile from a large lake. The only way to get to the lake is riding on asphault and I dont want to trash my studs. Has anyone used the Moose Racing tire wraps? Just wondering if they will survive the ride to and from the lake if I take it easy on them? http://www.amazon.com/MOOSE-RACING-TIRE-WRAP-EX000497/dp/B0068EQ1JQ Quote
Nieskes Posted December 12, 2012 Report Posted December 12, 2012 Carpet works also if your cheap like me! Or some thick rubber. Quote
mhoksch Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Posted December 12, 2012 i can get thick rubber from work for free, how would u attach to keep it wrapped around the tire? or i may jsut break down and buy a beater truck, gf jsut doesn't want some POS sitting it our driveway... Quote

Bungee cords, I don't know how it would hold up to runnin down a road tho. Your best bet is like rrl said, run your summer tires or somthing and drop your other tires off with your car ahead of time.

mhoksch Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Posted December 13, 2012 You have no rig, but you have a bike? And a girlfriend? funny how that works huh? Dont go getting the wrong idea, I'm not poor, just a cheap ass. I have a damn good job and own my own house... Been keeping an eye out for a decent early 90's yota, but they're hard to come by here. 1 Quote
trickedcarbine Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 Love my moose tire wraps! Do not ruin them by riding on them! Quote
mhoksch Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Posted December 14, 2012 Love my moose tire wraps! Do not ruin them by riding on them! I think I'm going to skip the moose wraps. I snagged some 3/8" rubber belting from work yesterday so I'll just try that out first. This way I don't have to worry about ruining it since it's free... Quote
motodrumer58 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 I use an old street bike intertube that I cut down the middle. I wrap it around the tire and it seems to work pretty good. Ghetto Style Quote
trickedcarbine Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 There is a guy on eBay that Pops up time to time with some wraps that he makes out of his home or something. They are the black ones on there. A guy I used to ride with had a set and they were pretty nice. $100 for the full set Quote
mhoksch Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 The rubber worked great. Used some big ass zip ties to hold it on. I just cut them when I get to the lake and throw new ones on for the ride home Quote
Nieskes Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Good to hear, that's alot of time and money to ruin in just a few seconds! Quote
mhoksch Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 Well my idea just got shot to hell. Cops came to visit me last night, apparently my neighbors didn't like the shee going a 1/2 mile down the road to the lake. Going to buy a trailer after work tonight and putting a hitch on the jetta... Quote
