V-Monster Tire 20" × 2.40"

Product Overview

The V-Monster Tire is a 20" × 2.40" BMX tire featuring a directional tread pattern with V-shaped knobs for excellent traction across multiple surfaces. Rated for 100 PSI, this wide-profile tire provides grip and cushioning for street, park, and dirt riding with directional tread design.

Key Features

• Directional V-shaped tread pattern – V-shaped knob design provides multi-directional grip and must be installed with correct rotation direction for optimal traction
• 2.40" width – Wide profile offers maximum cushioning, stability, and grip; wider than standard freestyle tires (typically 2.0"-2.3")
• High-pressure rated – 100 PSI maximum pressure allows firm inflation for responsive handling and reduced pinch flats
• Excellent traction – Tread design delivers grip on pavement, concrete, packed dirt, and varied surfaces

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

This tire fits 20" BMX rims (406mm BSD) and requires a 20" × 2.40" (or 2.3-2.5" range) inner tube. The 2.40" width is one of the widest BMX tire options available—verify your frame and fork have adequate clearance before ordering. Measure clearance at the closest points (seatstays, chainstays, fork legs) to ensure at least 3-5mm space on each side of a 2.40" tire to prevent rubbing. Frames and forks designed for narrower tires (2.0"-2.25") may not accommodate this width. The directional tread pattern must be installed with correct rotation—check sidewall arrow or tread orientation to ensure V-shaped knobs point forward (the V opens toward the direction of travel). Incorrect installation reduces traction and can cause unpredictable handling. Ideal for riders who prioritize maximum grip and cushioning over speed and weight—the wide 2.40" profile excels at absorbing impacts from drops and rough surfaces while providing stable platform for landings. Best suited for street riding with frequent obstacle hits, park sessions requiring grip on transitions, and dirt jumping where traction and cushioning matter. The high 100 PSI rating allows tuning pressure based on rider weight and terrain: run lower pressure (60-80 PSI) for maximum grip and cushioning on rough surfaces; higher pressure (80-100 PSI) for firmer feel and reduced rolling resistance on smooth terrain. The V-shaped tread provides better all-around traction than slick tires but more rolling resistance—not ideal for racing or applications where speed is the priority. At 2.40" width, this tire adds noticeable weight compared to narrower options (typically 50-100 grams heavier than 2.0"-2.25" tires)—acceptable trade-off for riders wanting maximum grip and comfort.
