So, I went to buy a couple of new tires(tyres) for the Rucks and to my astonishment they no longer have Avon Viper Stryke 140/70-12 in stock anywhere(except Europe). If anyone sees them for sale please let me know. I can't go back to skinny rear ends. I just can't. (insert once you go Fatty joke here) What are you Fatty guys using during these tragic times?

I have just brought Michelin city grips 2's. The rear is 140/70/12 🙈 That's mad. They are everywhere over here. Cheap too. But can't find anything over in the States.

**UPDATE**
That website was fraudulent. DO NOT USE IT FOR ANYTHING. Thankfully Paypal refunded me so no worries.
Still looking for the tire though so any help would be appreciated.

Quite a few options come up for 140/70-12. Anything special about the Avons? I know nothing about stretching tires, so are they easier to work with or just your own preference?

Sorry mate, it was an authenticated, secure site. I am loving the city grip 2's though. This is the 140/70-12.

I have a 7’’ and a 8’’ fatty wheel with tire and hub that I’ll sell. Already mounted, ready to go.
Same pattern as what I have on my ruck now. Both are a machined machine super mesh with a Michelin pure power on it.
Didn’t like the 7 inch, moved to the 8 inch and had to move to another wheel when I switched the rear to a disc brake.
These work for a drum brake only. A disc brake requires the dish cut out on the other side.

The Avon seems to stretch better/easier, and has a lower height than say, a Michelin Pure Power. Avon on a 7” wheel does not rub dipstick tube. Michelin tire with same wheel rubs.(on a GET engine)

Got 4 complete sets and 3 fatties.

I saw this also. It’s probably going to be my choice if the Avon is not found.

aeroxbud - don’t worry about it, sh*t happens when you gamble with the inter web lol. That’s why I use PayPal.
