Inserts in the Dirt Hawg front tires?

Post by SteveK »

What inserts come with the front Dirt Hawgs? I am sorting my stocks of tires and wheels and can't find any skinny inserts, so I'm guessing these random wider ones came with them?

Ok, that's what I figured, since I have two buggy-size inserts that dont match any tires. I can probably get two tires out of one insert. Thanks for the help.

yeah, they give you what looks like full size insert. I asked this question many moons ago and people said to just stuff 'em in there. I never did, and I plan to cut them down, probably in half.

So do you stuff the whole insert that came with them into the tire or cut to fit. I was planning on trimming mine down too. Dont know if I should or not ?

don't forget to bevel cut the inner edges so they don't interfere with the bead.
my dirt hawgs came with 2 skinny inserts.
