No white tires after Labor Day.

Sasha:
Should be alwhite

happycatbasket:
That frame can only fit up to 1.85" tires. I have no idea how you even fit 2.25" in there.

dude...:
come on guys, this is the first time in like a year theres been a legitimate bike shop query.

depends on the brand of the tyre as well OP, theres a lot of variation for the measurements when it comes to bmx tyres. there was an interesting article on bmxunion about it (which i cba to find the link to).

maybe post a pic of the clearance on your current tyre, and we may be able to give you a yeh or a nah based on our collective professional opinions here at BG corp.
other option is that you could maybe add a half link to your chain and run your back wheel a bit further back, depends how tight the tyre is side to side and the shape of the seat and chainstays

Dude has a point.
I'm currently riding a BSD Beverage, V1. I had the 2.4 Donnasqueaks on it for a while, and though they didn't rub, they didn't have much wiggle room either. If the back wheel took a knock, they rubbed almost immediately. I'm running 2.3 Ross V2 tires now and have a comfortable amount of room to work with and the tire is still pretty big. Granted (hur hur), it's a different frame, but same time period from the same company--it's safe to guess the backends are similar.

IMO, white tires, without exception, are gross.
