superstk Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 How's everyone doing? Haven't been here in a few years. Lot's of life events in the last several years have kept me fairly busy. Still don't have much time but I'm trying. Got a question. What size front runners are you guys running on your Monte's? 26 x 4.5? Wanted to get a solid idea. Don't want to be trying out different sizes as these small guys are not cheap anymore. Thanks, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevyss Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I've been looking for a pair of front runners myself. Hate to buy and experiment. I've looking at the Hoosier front runners and a pair of Weld wheels. 15x4.5 27.5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 don't go too skinny, our montes can get a little funky with too skinny of a front tire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Auto Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I was going to say that Sammy. A Monte on skinnys on the street is akin to a fat chick in a thong. Just wrong, and potentially dangerous. Mr Malibu rolls a set of 185r15 Bug tires, but that is considered a exotic dancer in a thong, by weight. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

502ci Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Can you throw one of them on a scale, I'm curious as to what they weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstk Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 If I'm correct, I think they are 10 lbs each. As soon as they arrive, I'll weigh them and give you an exact weight . Hopefully, I'll have them by friday. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superstk Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 OK. Finally got the chance to weigh the tires unmounted. Each 26x4.5x15 Goodyear Eagle front runner weighs 12.5 lbs. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
