Does it matter if there is any rust on it?

no, as long as it is straight.

Alright, give it a paint and it should be good. I'll go inspect it but im almost positive its a good deal.

It fits alright, problem now is that I need to get a new innertube. I Flippin' popped the d*** tube.

Finally!!!! I got a new tube and also got a new tire (so now I have 2 new tires) and I put the tire and tube on and no problem in sight! Check out my site to see the pictures. After I get the pictures up, I'm gonna take off the front tire and swap it with the other new knobby tire. www.freewebs.com/bluphire . Check it out, it looks cool as *.

I just got done putting the front knobby tire one both the Spree and my site. As far as the noise is concerned (as asked about in a forum far far away), It isn't nearly as loud as we had all thought (and some hoped). Well just thought I'd let you guys know how it went before I go kill myself out there on the freshly-rained-on-mud. lol. L8er!

Here muddy, muddy, mud! Come here boy.

the tires look cool man.

Thanks! a note-to-self though, Sprees don't have a lot of torque, so when your going through mud, it backs up in the rear fender and freezes the back tire. Oh well, I'll just use it on light mud and dirt. And I greatly agree, they do look cool.

dude, that looks f'n sweet!!! Maybe I can do that to my spree since its not street legal. How fast can you go in the dirt with them, and how good do they perform? Awesome job man.

DANG!!!!! Those look SOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!

How much were they?
Do they slow you down any on the road?

I wish I could tell you how it affected my speed, but I messed with the airfilter, and now It wont get passed 30. So I'm hot sure if affected my speed or not. The tires were about $30.00 a piece. new tubes were $5.00 a piece. So it isn't an expensive investment.
