Knobby tire for Inmotion V10


Cychotic

Recommended Posts

@Unventor Unfortunately, I haven't found proper tire yet. The best solution is still this one (16 x 2.4 Inch (64-305) Trials Tire): https://www.einradladen.com/16-x-24-Inch-64-305-Trials-Tire

V10F original tire size is indeed 16x2.5 but it seems like this one fits also. Obviously there are differences compared to the original tire, but I believe that by adjusting the tire pressure, a suitable compromise can be made.

Our fellow riders @Cychotic, @StuartLand @Zopperhave tested it and they seems to be satisfied with it. A huge thanks to everyone!

Yes. It fits just fine. And after overpressuring it (for my weight), the turning behavior is manageable. Still nowhere near the stock tire, but I quickly got used to it and I plan to keep it through the winter.

4x9 mm studs and inner tube protector are used by some of our fellow riders.

 

Example of inner tube protector:

4x9mm are smallest tire studs on the market and they should do fine:

Update after some more km (about 150 or so at most) and after the first snow. I'm definitely keeping it on for the winter, it works well, but I think I will use the standard tire for summer. I just miss the carving ability the stock tire has.

This looks like a tire for V11, not for V10. :-) 

Ahh sorry I mixed up this I will hide my post to avoid confusion. Good you spotted it. Thanks.

I just fitted a 64-305 knobbly to my V10F from here: https://www.einradladen.com/16-x-24-Inch-64-305-Trials-Tire

I bought exactly the same tire.

 

A few hundred km later, the turning and carving behavior got better. Probably a mix of both wearing the tire in and getting used to it. Still not on par of the stock tire, but better than I expected it can get.

As we had a plenty of above freezing days until the February, I  rode a lot on my other V10f with stock tire, so this knobby tire got only about 400 km so far.

Today the new "Innova" tyre had a serious hard core run.

TL;DR: Still my first choice tyre for my use.

Conditions were extremely wet, it rained most of the day and the ground was a mix of mushy mud, hard packed trail and rocky outcrops.

On the trail, across the grass and in the mud the tyre performed flawlessly, climbing up and over anything placed in its path.  The V10F is excellent in this environment and akin to the mountain goat of off-road EUC.  It performed WAY better than the three MSX on the same outing!

The rocks and wet stones were its Achilles heel.  Climbing over stones when perpendicular to the stone was easy but the tyre did suffer greatly when the tread blocks couldn't find an edge to grip.  In these circumstances the tyre failed to grip completely and the tyre slipped.  Based upon the performance of other tyres in the group I do not think there was a tyre present which could find grip on these wet slippery rocks.

The road sections were fine.  The noise was a little more obvious since we were doing longer road runs but still no worse than a mountain bike.

Overall I loved the tyre.  It embarrassed quite a few other (way more expensive) EUCs ridden by very experienced riders.  Would recommend without hesitation if you're looking to off-road on your EUC.

Hi, looking for the same tyre in the UK post Brexit. Do you think this might be it??

The tyre mouldings look identical. Without being certain I'd say it is a very likely match.
