Does anyone know where I can get some off-road tires of my '86 Spree? I'd really appreciate it.

Does anybody know if I can use the inner tubes out of my normal tires inside of the knobbys?

Yes, you can use the same inner tubes. The only difference is the tread pattern.

The spree uses the same tire size (2x10) as the Honda XR/CRF 50. Dirt tires are readily available for those, and usually all over ebay. And as stated above, yes, you can use the same tube.

My tire should be here any day now, I ordered it from a dirt bike dealer. the back tire on the Spree was more of a b**** than I thought it would be, but I got it off and now I'm just waiting on my CRF 50 tire to get in so I can go pick it up and slap it on. I already know how much of a b**** that's gonna be though, especially since I don't have Tire Irons, but the trouble will be well worth it I hope.

Haha, exactly. Maybe it will make the spree a little quieter by covering up some of the engine noise. Im interested on what that will sound like.
