Default $50 Giant Tracs!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5974462095
Well, I finally managed to score some Giant Tracs, even better is the fact that I got them for so stinking cheap! I'd say the main reason is because the seller listed them as Imex tires, because I saw a set of NIP ones go over $110 at the same time. Even better is that the seller had no idea what he was sitting on (I sure wasn't going to tell him), and threw in some good chrome wheels too!

So now what? I already plan to ge the tires off the rims and hack off the outer beads, maybe even Simple Green them too to soften them up. Is there anything else I should know about them?

You won't need to soften them up. At least I didn't need to soften the 3 sets I have

Good find.

Simple green them? Soften them up? Why? Giant tracs are great as they are. No need tho do anything to them.

My reasoning for trying to soften them is because they feel kinda hard right now, still moldable, but a bit stiff I guess. I s'pose I'll wait and see how they turn out on the rocks!
