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.
