Deep enough to class it as aggressive and make it stand out. The sidewall lugs are what makes them good though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 According to the web tread depth is 16mm and the centre can be re-cut to a depth of 10mm Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Been studying the pictures, one of the tyres looks to have aggressive side lugs, the other 4 do not in assuming these are m+s ones, assuming they will still be ok Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous doug Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Ah hold up. There are 3 types! bias ply, radials and sticky’s. I’m pretty sure the radials are the less aggressive road bias tyre without the side lugs and they(imo) are totally pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Agreed, a bit of a mix, but should still be soft-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Was also looking at some 39.5 16.5 17 pitbull's, tyres only, just think they would be way too wide Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous doug Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 pitbulls are a snazzy looking tyre. But as you say, wide! there was a guy running them on his challenge truck many years ago and he seemed to do ok. those radial treps would serve a purpose in getting you a taller tyre with more side wall but would you regret it later? another option to consider… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD5toV8110 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 What's the date stamp on the Treps? They get hard after sitting a while... (Motorcycle background, I have brand new never used 5+ year old tyres on a project bike. They will go in the bin prior to riding the bike...😐) Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
