Title: Coker 26x2.5 tires. Who has em?
Post by: illMATTic on January 29, 2013, 07:01:24 PM: I see that Coker does not give these tires a speed rating. Are the sidewalls truely stronger than a regular bike tire?

I put some bicycle tires on my 3 wheel truck replica to get it rolling, and when I get it up to speed, the first thing I think about is a tire coming apart!

Wayne has them.

Thanks,

What size tubes should I buy? I see some that are 2.75-3.00 x 21".

That is what Wayne supplies. I looked around to see if I could get some local, but they were more expensive than Wayne, and they would have to order them. So, I just added them to my Wayne order! Since I seem to keep accumulating simplex projects, I just keep a couple of extras in stock at home.
