Hey guys just a quick question, I'm about to buy a set of treps in 35's (radials) maxxis recommends 10" rims but I have heard of people running 8" rims.. Can I run them on 8's or not?
Cheers
Brad

Hey mate,
They'll be fine on an 8" rim. I reckon they hold their bead better on 8" rims too.
The tyres crown more on a narrow rim and will wear a little quicker. You could reduce pressures a little to compensate but then risk overheating them and increased full consumption from the greater rolling resistance.
