Please let me know if you find one. I need to replace the pusher tire on my Ural. Only got 3,000'ish km out of it.

A gross of Coughlin's hexamine solid fuel stove tablets. That should last me a while.

Gonna get some for my tent stove, which I bought to heat one room in my house should I lose electricity for a while, and don't want to run the small generator to power a space heater. I have lots of free wood on my property, and the tablets would come in handy for starting the fire. No fireplace obviously.

Potentially, a 2006 CRF50. Buying a second one so the little one can have a bike for the track and for the dirt. Then, getting rid of all his china mini bikes. Gonna have him down to two bikes (for now) and minimize myself to one dirt bike, one mini, and if I'm lucky, just the MT-10 and the two track bikes (ZX7R and RC390). I want to sell the KPM, but I also want to replace it with bigger commuter, because the MT-10 actually get's worse gas mileage than the truck. (around 30-35 mpg, 4.3 gallon tank, and a 50 mile round trip for work= gas stops every two days. lol) I'm still dead set on a RX4, but I don't feel like financing a new one. lol.

So far I have located two 4.00-19 Duro HF307 tires. As expected, Heidenau prices are being asked for them, one at Raceway Ural and I think that the other was Galllagher Tire.

Right now, the current spare was the pusher I bought last year and still has a lot of tread left. The pusher was on the sidecar and is becoming a slick, sidecar tire was the spare and is slightly less slickish. Before my trip, I'll swap the pusher and spare around.

Tom-I considered that 3.25-19 but I thought the 4.00 were narrow...

It is at the shipping depot. But they won't let me pick it up without authorization from XPro. It has the lift gate service.
I just hope they don't set it on end like they did before. Maybe tomorrow afternoon delivery. Maybe Monday.

Pumped up to its max pressure, the 3.25-19 would probably be OK but not ideal of course. At least it could get you home if you got a flat. If your pusher went flat, since it has the greatest load I'd put the 3.25 on the sidecar and then move the sidecar 4.00 to the pusher.

I'm guessing a knobby or aggressive dualsport are not options due to different construction.

Ended up getting the crf50. He also gave me and extra protaper tall bar kit, original plastics and stock parts he replaced. I need a new muffler end cap, though. Thankfully, t-bolt has some nice shiny ones for sale.

Then Weird Ron from there emailed me today with a Ural P/N for one Duro tire & tube with a quote of $260, but he'd have to order it.

Jeez, Ron, if I could get the tires, $260 would get me 4 tires and a couple of hot dogs, with fries, from Cedar Rapids Tire.

Oh he def seen violence from the crowd. There is a pretty solid chance his car got written off due to damage inflicted by the crowds response. If not at min its gonna require a new rad and passenger door.



As for what i bought. This was last night but i got a plate with the ESRB Rated E for everyone symbol and a couple custom made decals for the truck.

I’m going to give a Kenda K760 100/90-19 a shot. It was in stock at Amazon for just under eighty bucks. 6 ply with a square profile so it should be okay. I’ll let you know how it works out.

Did you notice that they have a 110/90-19 version? Has a 77 lb higher load limit, 62 vs 57. Or did you think that might be a bit wide to fit on the bike?
