Guest Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm not sure but off-road tyres will wear much sooner than on-road tyres so is it really worth it for a bit of muddy track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 whats a skyjet xjg? is it a road bike... which means it will look pants with knobblies.. if its off road, then it'll look ok, but lack the levels of grip.. best would be road tyres, supermoto style..

Colin the Bear Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 More relevant than the make of the bike, is the size of the wheels. With a wheel size, manufacturers can be searched to find out what is available. A different tread pattern may give a better grip on the loose stuff without too much of a compromise on road grip. Be aware though that no tyre will grip wet mud. You need to adjust your riding tecnique to cope with off road situations and some bikes just won't do it, no matter what you fit or how you ride. Edit. Just googled your bike. If this is it,http://skyjetowners.webs.com/forsale.htmKEEP OFF THE GRASS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
