i ment what type of bike normaly has it and from the answers it seems to be a bmx tire

Unless its a racing bmx, i think they have dirt tyres.

I prefer mountaim bike tyres k**bbly for more grip (but I fell over and broke my wrist so I might not be the best person to listen to  )

You know the metal band clip (the screwy thing that holds the sock  in place), will 50mm be big enough?

i dont no i didnt use 1 i used about 4 biggish cable ties and pulled them extremely tight this has held so far then just taped them up to match the sock

I've just had to make my first set of booties ( Shame the real hoof's don't last ) 
But If I say so myself they look great ( as far as a a boot can look great ) I'll post a picture in a minuet, or have a look in the morning ( less than a day to the BIG ONE ) !

Was in Halfords and was looking in their clear out bin and pull out a kiddies tyre for £1.38 ( odd price ) and had to buy it. it's a small tyre if I'm lucky i should get two set from it, but Why did I have to grab it ..... it's RED 
Who wants a boring black hoof when you can have RED 
I'm still on my first pair but when I use it I'll post pictures of them

I've got a new pair of hoofs to use someday but I'm still using the ones I got with my JP's ( both have holes in them ).
I notice that if you've not tightened them up the tyre slips a little ( I warm the rubber first ).
Well I found that  very small tack nails pushed well in the very front of the hoof stops this. In time maybe the rubber may wear but you should be OK for at least 10-20 times ( before problems start ) and how long do socks/booties last !?

My hoofs dont slip now, but I don't know how long you can do this trick !?

You could do this for a say 10 times then try without again. You maybe better at fitting them by then
