tires for loretta's gncc

[cantrell24x]

Anyone have a suggested tire? at other races I normally run pirelli or michellins both are soft. I don't know if they will work for loretta's.

Thanks

I'd run rubber ones with knobs.

I did a quick google search for "rubber ones with knobs" it seems they have gone out of business.

They were misrepresenting their tires to unsuspecting and gullible riders who thought the witty name meant they sold a good tire.

Turns out The rubber ones with knobs tire company was really just a one phone shop in China town that sold retreaded old ching shens to four stroke riders in the hills of east TN. and the surrounding areas.

After months and months of complaints the ROWK tire company was shut down by the Chinese Manufactures Association for giving Chinese exports a reputation of even poorer quality than they already had.

Many of the customers of Rowk have since given up riding and have formed a support group that meets twice a week. You can reach them at 1-800-977-7825

It's fairly loose there, with a good amount of gravely, rock-based stuff. If you can survive an entire loop of whoops (everything, the woods, the fields, even the creek beds) then your tires will be the least of your worrys.

How long is the loop usually? What about hills? Are they extended swingarm type hills and are there dozens of them?

Thanks

It's been a few years........ I remember a couple good hills, nothing too gnarly. The loop was most likely the usual 8-12 miles. BIG turnouts... a lot of riders means the first loop will be bumper to bumper. But it was the Mid-South Winter Series I rode, perhaps that is what brought so many people.

Think creek gravel or maybe a better description would be pea gravel. Land drains very well and you should find almost no mud. Short steep, momentum style hills. You are very close to Ky Lake which is Tenn River dammed up. Fun place to ride. John

Please don't give out too much information as it could hurt my clients in the upcoming Class Action lawsuit. You know, the lawsuits where I would make $14 million and my "clients" would get a coupon for $2 off their next purchase of rubber things with knobs. Got to love America.

Those "things" are different from tires . . .
