Buy 7's hooves, they're 32 pounds and will last you over a year. I've had mine for a years and 7 months now.

i havent seen any misinterpretations

to save his hooves - he made tyre socks - tyre socks wore out quickly - 7 hooves will last longer without need of tyre socks

Don't be put off mate some tyres last a lot longer than others

Toddy on here had some really good tyres that seemed to last when made into socks

I use MotoX tyres (as in motorbikes rather than cycles) and they last well and give good grip

I also think 7's lasting depend on the user as DG once told me he wore through a set in a month (but he is a total loony on stilts  :Claugh:)

Well you've got to admit it DG

Only you, me and tundraH have ever been turned down for the Tonka Toy Destructive Testing job  :Cbiggrin:

They told me I didn't play fair what excuse did they give you  :Claugh:

But you do have a distinctive style of bocking (a bit like those guys that constatantly Do-nut there cars ) tyres don't last long  :Claugh:

I had a similar problem, I used push bike tyres, I spent a whole sunday morning cutting them out, and made my own hoofies that wrapped round the hoof that was already there (i posted a pic on here somewhere). But after a few jumps, and runs they were gone, didn't take long to destroy them.

And in terms of saving money, done the opposite as was back to square one, but £20 down.

I brought a pair of Jason's and they are doing alot better.  :Cyes:
