Specifications:
Semi-Slick Tread for Versatile Traction
- The semi-slick tread pattern combines smooth center lines for reduced rolling resistance with side lugs that offer extra grip. This design provides smooth performance on flat surfaces while enhancing traction during turns, making it a versatile choice for both street and light off-road riding.
2.30-Inch Width for Improved Stability and Cushioning
- At 2.30 inches wide, the tire offers a broad contact patch, which increases stability and provides a cushioned ride. This is especially useful for BMX and commuting riders who want a tire that absorbs bumps and shocks effectively, making for a more comfortable and stable ride over diverse terrain.
Durable Blackwall Construction
- The blackwall sidewall not only adds a sleek, understated look but also resists abrasions and wear from curb impacts or rough surfaces. The durable rubber compound is built to withstand repeated use, providing longevity for daily riding on a mix of surfaces.
Lightweight and High-Performance Rubber Compound
- Constructed from a high-performance rubber compound, the tire balances durability with flexibility. This material choice provides sufficient give to improve grip on various surfaces while being durable enough for daily BMX use and light trail riding.
Optimized for Urban and Light Trail Applications
- While primarily designed for street use, the semi-slick tread makes this tire suitable for occasional light trail or park use, giving riders flexibility in their riding environments. The design is optimized to perform well in both dry urban settings and on packed dirt paths.

Maintenance and Care Recommendations
To ensure the ALTA 29 x 2.30 BMX Tire remains in optimal condition:
- Maintain Proper Inflation: Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it stays within the recommended PSI range (typically 40-65 PSI). This preserves ride quality and extends the tire's lifespan.
- Check for Wear and Tear: Inspect the tread and sidewalls for wear, especially after aggressive riding. Sidewall damage or excessive tread wear can affect performance and safety.
- Clean Periodically: Remove dirt and debris from the tire to maintain grip and appearance. A mild soap solution and a soft brush work well for cleaning.
- Store in a Cool, Dry Place: When not in use, keep the tire (or bike) in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure to UV light can degrade rubber over time.
