ya i have a couplr rears laying around that o can run off the other way. i guess when theres not a whole lot else to do it doesnt really matter what direction a half gone tire grabs. as long as it grabs. and foxx thats really not a bad idea, if you can handle the rubber smell and dont cut too deep. i think with the terrain i ride on nothing less than turning the tires around will really prolong the inevitable. now that tractionator hard terrain LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBILITY BIT IT DOESNT COME IN A 120 /90-19 ONLY A 110/90-19, dont know that it matters as long as does to the dirt what a skill saw does to lumber. and ive heard other people talk about pirelli and that is a name with a history. ,. so far o dont think theres a compound of rubber carbon and steel that will hold up all that well on a 500 in the rock. i remember when i worked for purcell tires and i would repair the otr tires from the mine eqiupment that got damaged and needed rebuilt. id cup out the damaged rubber grind of the radial cords and cook in a patch and plug with a great tire vulcanizing system built by monoflex. sure would be nice to have a tire cap mold and chamber for a nicely knobbied 120/90-19 and then id just extrude in the rubber stiffness on the recap of whatever case i wore off last. too bad theres probably no way in hell to recap a dirtbike tire casing. i imagine it stays fairly cool as it is in the dirt. but what glue would stand up to the beating the thing would take.. hmmm ill think on that for a while.. thanks guys
