In our last post, we learned that Scott Matual was testing the new 22″S&M Speedball tire.
Designed for dirt or park, the tires look like they’re going to be a solid tire choice once testing is complete.
And Matual is not pulling out any stops in his testing.
S&M shared on their Facebook page today that Scott Matual took home a 2nd and a 4th in 46 and over Expert this past weekend at the Great NW Nationals on his 22″ (with the prototype tires presumably)!

I’m digging those tires and the 22″ idea, but are they legal in class? I thought the idea of the OS20 stuff was that it was just below the cutoff (total diameter “shall not exceed 22.5″); and I’ve read that many 22″ tires (not OS20) are actually about 23” in diameter.

What I’ve been hearing is that the smaller 22″ tires (2.1) are just under the cutoff. Marty Christman raced a 22″ Indust at recent Texas national…he posted a picture of how his wheels just made the cutoff. (If you run the bigger tires you’ll probably get bumped to cruiser…at least that’s my understanding)
