2.2 tyres

[dinkey]

are we being ripped of? ,i was comparing the 2.2 tyres on my b4 to my b3 <both yellow mini pins> and i can not see much differance with the width, if you had a proline holeshot width it would be 2.2???? any thoughts on this chaps????????????, what i am trying to say is they are no wider than the old b3 tyres???

You are not being ripped off. 2.2" is the diameter of the rim...

?

2.2" is the diameter

And aren't B3 wheels the same width and diameter as the B4 with just the offset being different?

thanks that answer that,still the holeshots are a lot wider??,why cant we have a minipin or spike that width??

I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong! But...
Holeshots just look wider as they have a flatter profile compared to the mini spikes, minipins have a similar flatter profile but don't have such square sidewalls.
The handling characteristics would be very different if mini spikes had that flatter profile and I doubt they would work as well.
