Sneak Peek: Wethepeople – Stickin’ Tire

April 13, 2015

Here’s a little sneak peek we spotted floating on the Facebook. It looks like Wethepeople have been working on a new street tire over in Germany. Their Stickin tire uses a slightly different shape and rubber compound that will allow for plenty of grip without having it stick to the side of a rail or ledge. These tires will be out this summer in 2.30″ and 2.40″… Not sure on color options, but we’re willing to bet there will be a little flavor added to these BMX tires. Expect more sneak peeks from Wethepeople since it sounds like they will be dropping more previews of new products soon.

The Colorful BMX Tire Takeover

March 9, 2015

Colorful BMX tires have always been apart of the the BMX world, but like every other trend in BMX, we have seen things come and go. Over the past few years, we have definitely seen colors on tires coming back into style after seeing the all black and basic colors like tan wall have its reign for a while.

Here’s a gem we got a look at back in September at Interbike. For 2015, Simone Barraco wanted to update his Strada tire from The Shadow Conspiracy a little bit. The Strada Nuova features thicker tread that is more flat resistant, longer lasting and durable. Then they gave the tire more aggressive sides with deeper cuts for added traction while turning. The Strada Nuova tire will be available in March in all black or green with a black sidewall, 20 x 2.30″ for the size and a 110 PSI rating through all shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide.
