Knobby tires VS Street tires
I have a couple questions. I want to know if knobby tires will reduce the speed of my 86 Spree. I weigh 200 pounds and it barely goes 30 so i cant loose any MPH. Is that the average speed of sprees?

well, i went from street to knobby and the only difference is the noise it makes on the pavement. Think one of those offroad trucks and how noisy they are on the pavement, then scale it down to a spree size tire. I have to say i will not be going back to street, because i love the fact that I can go offroad now.
Ive cut thru playgrounds and baseball fields now that I have my knobbys, and I love them.
oh ya, it didnt even reduce my mph by 1. I still get the same speed with the knobbys that I did with street.
