brumbrum said:My vee rubber vrm308 trials tyre arrived today, its a lot bigger and fatter than my CST c186 tyre.
The chen shin cst tyre is 3.00x17" and the Vee rubber is 3.50x17" but the difference in size is bigger than expected...
The cst has a 23" diameter and the vee rubber is 25"

I managed to wrestle the new tyre onto the rim tonight and it will fit within the nyx swingarm. I have managed to fit a tyre/rim lock which was fairly straight forward thanks to Rix's helpful tips.
Overalll its a lot heavier and larger than the cst tyre but i will be able to run it at a low pressure without worry of the rim hitting the ground and the tyre tread depth and knobbles look very decent.
I will try and get some photos of the bike when all finished in a day or two.
A while back, someone asked me about going to a 4.00x19" trials tire, I told them that it would be way to big and so was the 3.5" wide tires. Start going north of 3.00 wide MC tires, its a different realm of tire.
