PLussizebmxstore.com now stocking GEAX tires!!! And a new tee!!!

GEAX tires are a favorite of ours here at PlusSizeBMX. Their sticky soft compound grips everything extremely well. We currently have three models in stock: Tattoo, Tattoo Light and Booze Light. All tires are 26" x 2.3" You will love these tires. Both Light models are close to half of what Holy Rollers weigh. But are VERY durable on all terrain. We also have a new PlusSizeBMX tee. Its called the Equation tee and it involves a few of our favorite things: Bikes, Street, Park, Dirt and Beer! Use coupon code TIRES to get 10% off of your order.

PRODUCT TEST: GEAX Tattoo Light

   

 

I got a hold of a pair of the all new Tattoo Light Street/Park tires from GEAX. This tire comes in a regular weight version (26"x2.3=850g) and the Light pair (26"x2.3=590g) As a comparison a Holy roller weighs 865g in a 26"x2.4. In short the GEAX Tattoo is a great tire. The best feature of this tire is it's grip. The Tattoo has a durometer spec of 50a. Thats what a lot of sticky downhill tires measure. So these tires grip to everything!!! On some cement the tires actually sound like tape being unraveled. I mostly rode street on these tires. The tread pattern wraps from bead to bead. Which greatly strengthens the sidewall for street. I did get a flat the first night on these tires. But glass will do that to any tire. Then the skatepark test: The Denver skatepark is pretty legendary for its slippery surface. But the Tattoos stuck amazingly well. I would highly recommend this tire to anyone who's local park is at all slippery. The tattoo's will work!!! I would also recommend the Tattoo to street riders. If you primarily ride street you would probably be better served with the normal weight tires. But you will love this tire. The grippyness of this tire is sick!!! The Tattoo is also available in an all white version. Although only in the regular weight. (I believe) Go order yourself a pair and tell your Local shop to stock them for your friends. Hell Cam Zink rides GEAX why not you??? Later...
