Can we start a thread specifically talking about different tires everyone uses on compacts. Show pics of the tire, list the size and name of the tire, PLY count, list where to buy the tire, etc. Realizing I need more compact tires myself, I discovered it's annoying to keep running through all the other threads and asking drivers what tire they used and such.

For the people that run dirt bike tires, are you mounting them on standard 14" rims or on spare tire (thinner) rims? Wasn't sure if they need a certain rim to mount on.

I remember reading once using donut rims to mount dirtbike tires. im running into a problem with my brothers geo metro as it has 12 inch rims. i dont have a tire anywhere close to fit. i guess some honda rims will fit and allow 14 inch tires but then there are clearance issues. where it will die is a muddy track so i need something.... some mini bike tires are on amazon for like 30 bucks really thinking of buying and trying to double and tube but ill probably never have another geo so im at a loss.

if you keep standard rims i guess doubling and tubing fourwheeler tires works well. the mad cow car #103 in the honda build tips thread had some. guy has a video too explaining what he did good info.
