Holyman Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 I've been looking at various front tire options and found some 10" dirtbike tires and golf kart tires. The Golf tires are also DOT approved. Does anyone know if these will work on banshee rims or do they have to go on something else? Quote
reas11 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 at the track iv'e seen drag bike with golf cart tires i know they were on banshee rims , also i think nyuk has run a set of tires like that in the front of his drag quad before . Quote
MADMOOSE Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 it matters how much they cost tho becase u might be more sensable to buy a set of hoosiers becase the golf tires were ment for groomed turf and like no wear so the would dissapear fast....but they are cheap...might not get any traction either....only 1 ply also so...its the ghetto cheap way of doing it...

Bigairee Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 I would just worry about speed ratings. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 put the slicks on the rear once for a burnout contest, shit got ugly after third gear, for the fronts yea i would jsut worry about speed rating and how much weight they can take, but golf carts weight a hell of alot more then a banshee Quote
Holyman Posted April 10, 2004 Author Report Posted April 10, 2004 I was thinking of options for a street conversion Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 i didnt think that was legal in the usa Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 I would just worry about speed ratings. LOL This brings up a funny story that happened out at Dumont. I can't remember exactly who it was I showed this too, but they didn't realize that the old school Skat Trak (the shaved down type) was a lawn mower tire with paddles vulcanized to it. Green Savers is the brand mine is, and it says "DO NOT EXCEED 8 MPH" lmfao...I was going almost 8 times that fast. Quote
sredish Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 I was thinking of options for a street conversion I've been playing with that idea in my head for a year or so. I want so bad to have a set of street tires and go cruising around town. I just can't figure out how to get it licensed. Quote
