Phong Vu Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Winter is coming, and since want to ride my V8 as much as possible, so I'm looking for the replacement for the stock 1.95" tire. Anyone have experience on of the following tires or has another recommendation? SCHWINN, All-Terrain Tire 16” X 1.95" Kenda K50 BMX Bike Tire, 16" x 2.125" This looking good for trail run. Just wonder how it feel to ride those tires on normal road condition. Also, since my tube is 1.95", I assumed it still work fined with 2.125" tire.

Phong Vu Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Just want to update on this topic as I've just tried the Schwinn 16" X 1.95 all terrain tire. It's a no no for V8. The fit and look are very nice, no scraping what so ever. However, it tried to throw me off every-time I made a turn (and it had succeeded once, I have to throw the wheel and run off). Tried many different psi, no different. Have to switch back to the original Kenda tire and everything back to normal... Noticed that the wall for the Schwinn tire is so weak compare to the Kenda. It seems that the tire collapsed every-time I take a turn. Gonna need to find another one.... Kenda maybe... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the same Schwinn tyre for ~$8.00 on Amazon nearly threee years ago but never mounted it due to handling concerns. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. If you are looking for off-road 16" tyres take a look at BMX Guru. They have several Kenda's, and I have been using a white one for my winter/ off-road wheel for over a year and it has been great. I personally think the 2.125" tyre works best. Plus, they have black Kendas, but also red, white, and purple, as well as golden and pink! This brings a whole new level to pimp my wheel! Prices are very good and shipping very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive wondered how much of a difference a 2.125 would make vs the 1.95 it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
