Schwinn Competition Scrambler Skin Tiers
"Perhaps the most bizzare tire in this whole group. The Scrambler skin is unique in it's tractor style, highly directional tread. The Scrambler Skin looks like a tire designed for riding on sand, even though it isn't. It works best on hard and semi-hard surfaces." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.
The Schwinn Competition Scrambler Skin tire is made in Japan and is available as a Skinwall in 20 x 2.00".

NTKK Skin Wall Tires
"The NTKK is also a "snakebelly" type tire. The side knobs and center are of the directional variety. The lug height and spacing is very similar to the other types of snakebellies. The NTKK works well in almost any applications, dry, wet or hard pack." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

Diamond Back Skin Wall Tires
"The Diamond Back Skin Wall 1.75 works equally well in the front or rear. It's an excellent tire for both, especially for younger riders. In fact almost all the Diamond Back team riders who are under 12 years old use this tire front and rear. The Diamond Back Skin Wall 2.125 is primarily a racing tire for front tire use. it works well in a variety of surfaces including hard pack, mud and loam." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

Schwinn Scrambler BX Tires
"This tire is often referred to as the suction cup tire because of the unusual lug design. The design itself has been around for a few years but it still makes a pretty good tire, that is, until the edges wear off the knobs. The Scrambler BX works especially well in loose dirt or mud." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

IRC BMX Racer Tires
"The IRC BMX Racer 1.75 has been a very successful racing tire scoring wins on the back ends of various experts and pros. Up close it looks like a modified "snakebelly" pattern. One point worth of note is that this tire ties with the IRC 80X as the lightest in this comparison." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

Carlisle MX 400 Tires
"Like the MX 200, the Carlisle MX 400 really hasn't seen much duty on the race tracks. I seems to suffer from basically the same problem as the 200. They both still make excellent all-around thrasher tires, which is probably all they were intended for anyway." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

LHR Dirt Slinger Tires
"This baby is almost a direct copy of the Carlisle Aggressor MX, but they apparently got a slightly different compound and they don't seem to be as good on hard pack surfaces as the Carlisle." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

Carlisle MX 200 Tires
"The MX 200 Hasn't really gone over as well as the Aggressor MX. It's large lugs and wide spacing pattern seems to limit it's performance. It's very durable tire and wears well but it's a rarity to see one on a track" ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

Competition II now prepares you for the Great Indoors
Made for BMXers who head indoors for the winter. Traditional outdoor tires are reduced to mush when riding on the smooth, slippery, unyieldingly hard, paved cement tracks and wood jumps. The tire is constructed with light nylon cord to increase the strength of the sidewalls. A new rubber compound is used to provide strength and less abrasion. the tread pattern has changed to allow for less rolling resistance and maximum traction.

Mitsuboshi Competition III Tires
"The Competition 3 tire has been the most talked about item on the raceing scen since the first samples laid tracks on U.S. soil. They've completely redesigned the treat design and appear to be using slightly different compound. The Comp 3 actually bites into the dirt with more force than a regular tire because the lugs are taller, better spaced and have vice like edges on them." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

Cycle Pro Snake Belly Blackwall Tires
"This is the tire that made the term "snakebelly" a household word (almost). Both the 1.75 and 2.125 have virtually the same pattern. Both tires are good on for the front and rear (either as a 2.125 front and 1.75 rear, two 2.125's or two 1.75's). They make excellent all purpose tires as well as racing tires." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.
