Where Can I get A New Hot S Set?

[stoley]

I have a rear hot S on my bike now, but need to replace it, Does anyone know where I can order new ones? I emailed Michelin and never heard back. Are There any other tires that are colored in a 2.5?? (rear) cause they make my bike look hella awesome, Or Something else that would be good to use for trials, Something sticky? (tires) Thanks a ton

Don't buy a tire because it looks nice.
HotS do look good, but they lack grip and pinch protection.

Get a black one with knobs!
Maxxis or a Michelin DH tire.

Felix..what kind of rear tire are you running in that avatar of yours...lol!!;)

[felix]

haha, good point!
But it's not a Hot S.
Michelin C24-1 S with red compound that is.
Secret French tire back in 2003.

Ok OK so where can i Get some michelins? I emailed the company and they didnt get back with me. I seen the downhill mud tires, they got tread....like tear your face off if they run you over tread....but a bit over 1200 grams...I'm trying to stay as light as possible...all that extra weight i gotta carry with me when I'm moving with the bike...And I would buy those downhill tires...just because they are tear your face off awesome lol

if you are trying to save weight...get a maxxis minion dhr 2.35 front and rear. I used these for a while and i loved how light they were...but having the width of a 2.5 is nice.

it's not like they're rare. look on froogle. theres many different places to buy them.

Rock on to that, I checked out the site, Never heard of froogle, but I really appreaciate all your help, They definitly have the tires I was looking for.

froogle is a form of google that searches for products (of any sort) and lists websites where that product is sold. for some reason it doesn't seem like many people use it but it works pretty well b/c you can compare prices fast and find new online stores you didn't know about.
