do you mean hooves NOT tyre socks

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

ok try Jasons 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:
