TURTLE
Gettin’ back on the horse
Tire choices... There are quite a few when you start looking around.
So whats the best?
Why is one better then the other?
What should we be looking for in a front tire? What about a rear tire?
Here are a few options I have found.

That is about all I have found so far, I didn't list anything bigger then a 3.2" rim since most projects wont use anything bigger then 2.2 size rims.
