lboorse2 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Excellent. This will be super useful for me. I'm having trouble deciding on tires for an 84 freestyler that I'm building now. Biggest problem is that I just don't know what freestyle tires were offered when. I thought the GT tires were the bees knees and that's all I cared about.

Brian P Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) here is a picture i took when i had one yellow comp ST of every label made. notice the yellow label "stadium" and "competition II" those were prior to the comp ST label as we know it when it was introduced as a "freestyle" tire. why it was called a comp II when there already was one is bizzarre also??? Edited December 3, 2008 by S.Brothers Photo bucket?! Pardon me while I go in house with a little backup, BP... this is going to be a tire archive for the ages hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian P Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 tiogas first freestyle tire was the comp st as we know it, they also made some other versions around the same time. comp st was a full treaded tire available in 1.75 and 2.125 comp ramp was treaded as the st, but had a narrow smooth strip running around the tire 1.75 (possibly 2.125) comp pool was fully smooth.... 1.75 (possibly 2.125) colors known of these tires (if there are others, i will add) black red green blue yellow pink white lavender grey orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromey Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Does anyone know when the first Comp Stadium surfaced? Didn't Rich Sigur run those on his custom green 84 Sport? Were they around before that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axlepeg Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 July '85 FSN' magazine says the Comp ST was first introduced in late 1979. I've gathered on the net in recent years that they were actually developed for racing indoors, in stadiums. Concrete floor with wooden ramps/jumps/berms.

RL Paulie Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 July '85 FSN' magazine says the Comp ST was first introduced in late 1979. I've gathered on the net in recent years that they were actually developed for racing indoors, in stadiums. Concrete floor with wooden ramps/jumps/berms. That's exactly what they were originally used for. Someone posted and article a couple years ago showing one of those indoor wintertime tracks with the stadium tires. Now can anyone show me the correct Tioga label for 1984? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 paul, it would probably be one of the 2 yellow labels (leaning more towards the competition II one). i dont think the grey/blue label was out until 85 reasoning? i have one of my friends old comp st's from when he raced. he raced 79-83 or so and the tire i have is a yellow "stadium" labeled one.

Howard 68 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Can't beat the ACS RL Edge as the tread pattern resurfaced a few years back kind of like a comeback in a sense courtesy of Pro flatlander Chase Gouin and the Oddysey Frequency G tyres and more recently the Odyssey P Lyte's .Chase wanted something similar in design and strength and hooking up with Odyssey came up with these tyres which he designed they are very popular also a kevlar version is now avaliable.

Yea, I have a few pairs of the Freq G's. They will probably be the last tire I'll ever buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
