It won't be totally different, but it is a lot better. Logically because the knobbies get to dig into the soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The psi has to be low, I started out at 45 and was way too squirrelly, so I lowered it to 20 and it seems to be good. I took it out for a short ride and it felt pretty good, not too noisy either. I’ll take it out for a proper ride this week to see if it performs well. Did you have time to test out for a review of it yet? Is the knobbies hard or soft?

Yes, I rode yesterday for about 20 miles. I’d say the knobs feel in between hard and soft. I’m very surprised how much I like this tire on pavement, I’d say I like it better than the stock tire(That may change as the knobs wear down) Off road, of course it handled really good even in big loose gravel. The only negative I can see as of now is the range will suffer some, how much I don’t know yet. id say give it a try! I like the 16x for off-road trails, it will be much better with this tire. Like I said before it is extremely difficult to change, so make sure you have the right tools to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny727272 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 These tires look sick on the 16X. I'm looking to get it as my first EUC and wanting to do a good bit of off-roading, so may have to grab one of these tires too. Thanks for sharing everyone!

Otherwise, this tire will burn 😈😈😈😈😈 Lowering to 24psi again improved things a lot. Bit of a catch 22 as I'd hoped to do some decent jumping on this and I'm coming from 35 psi on the original tire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crooznfbroozn Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Quick update; I had initially changed my tire from the stock to the one in the very first post of this thread. I go offroading for fun on MTB trails, so a better grip in a bit of mud would really help. I've now switched back to the original stock tire. Conclusions: * The wheel goes from agile to really sluggish in the turns, awkward turning, needs a lot of body involvement.. effectively takes the 'joy' out of the wheel for me. On the stock tire I can hang into the wheel to turn and feel like im floating... smooth as silk. The knobby tire just wants to fall over. * Tires that are not the original 16x3 make the wheel to low to the ground for me. (exacerbated by the fact knobby tires need you to turn a lot harder) Constantly hitting the floor. * Quality of initial tire -> after not that many rides with it, the tire is starting to show tears.. probably not a good sign. Also getting consistent push to fall over to one side which I think is the tire not being even. (oh, and the tire was a *nightmare* to put on vs stock tire) * Insane grip. Really crazy. However, when things get too wet and muddy I start worrying more about the electronics.. so you can't go too crazy. I tried it on ice and in snow - tons and tons of fun. * Just going on normal roads felt dangerous and seriously tiresome. Turns are terrible, and you cant just 'stand and chill' on your wheel.. needs constant adjustment to stay up In short - great for snow and ice. Horrid for having fun on trails. I've looked around for alternatives, can't see anything dependable out there - so my conclusion (unless someone can prove differently). A 16" wheel is not made for knobby tires. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranmacdonald Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 @Sai what happened? Did you try the 3.00 oset or 2.7 kenda? I'd love to find out how this went so I can order one 🙂 I'm wondering what would happen if coupled with the new V12 also!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArieKanarie Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Watch out when ordering tires. I ordered a 3.0x16 tire last week thinking it was the same as 16x3.0 Turns out, it is not. My bad.
