FAQ
Will these fit my tires?
- We recommend 11×6-5 rears. Similar ~11″ OD tires may work, but check clearances and follow the break-in procedure.
How long do they last?
- Longevity depends on surface, rider weight, PSI, and throttle habits. Smooth pavement and correct break-in extend life.
What PSI should I run?
- Break-in at lower PSI for self-centering, then increase gradually until you like the slide. Small changes (1–2 PSI) make a big difference.
Do they damage tires?
- Normal heat and scuff are expected. Inspect tires and sleeves regularly; stop if you see abnormal wear or rubbing.
Can I use them on public roads?
- No—closed-course/off-road use only.
