"About breaking a tire loose " I bought an 80 cc of eBay for 42$, put it on a DB diamond back alum frame , with knobby MTN bike tires I can't not break it loose that's all it does every turn I'm drifting,it's a death trap. Lol. Needless to say the tire lasted 1.5 weeks and it's trash,. So what's a good tire to run to keep me sticking,as opposed to drifting?

Knobby tires are horrible for street riding if thats what you are doing.

I use these tires and tubes on my bike here in the high deserts of New Mexico that are just full of mesquite thorns, goatheads, etc. and do not have the problems that most people have using stock tires that come with their bicycles.

The tires are kevlar reinforced and the tubes are Super Thick self sealing Slime brand tubes.
Take note that I have linked you to 26" tires and tubes, if you have different size tires and rims than this, at least I got you into the right "neighbourhood" to hunt down the same items for your particular sizes...lol.

If you stay at 30 mph or less the Kendra 838 tire is very good and affordable. Mine have held up for years.

A bunch of 1/8 x 1/8 about 1/4 inch tall rubber blocks you they will handle great. I bet not as bad as it feels or you think but yea thats why performance motorcycle and car tires have huge tread blocks with minimal siping
