xiiijojjo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 So i'm looking to order some spare inner tubes and while doing so i saw some different tires sold alongside them which made me interested in potentially switching out the default tire which i by no means have any issue with. However from pictures of the RS 19 there does not seem to be a lot of clearance for a tire bigger than the default CST, but i wonder what any of you have tried? Ideally i would love to try out the knobby sherman tire but i just don't think it's possible because of the clearance issue. Are there other types of knobby tires or similar which might fit?

Current production RS has the same clearance as the original MSX, MSP. It was reported that K262 still fits RS 'first-batch' and all other MSX/MSP... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiiijojjo Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Thank you @RagingGrandpa i am a first batcher, i thought the way they raised the newer batch version of the RS was simply from fabricating new pedal hangers as the body already had a gap to accommodate for approximately 1 inch higher pedals, but i might have missed something? But this k626 was exactly what i was thinking of thank you! Now i just need to find someone who ships it to EU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingGrandpa Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 In europe it may be easier to buy CST C-186 2.75-14. Effectively the same as K262, works great, I've used both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked around and ebay seems to be the best marketplace for these tires for any other Europeans looking for this.

igorgoga Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Can I use Sherman Tire on RS? I can't find H666 tire either. I don't like stock RS tire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Yes you can, most or all tires that fit the Sherman / EX should fit the RS, there are various threads about this in this sub. Edited December 10, 2020 by null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igorgoga Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I can't find a good street tire for the RS anywhere- can someone pls recommend? I even tried to find michelin 70 90 14- can't buy it from Canada anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 This thread goes through street tyres that should fit the RS. The Kenda K340 is the one from the Sherman which have good returns for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i just need to find someone who ships it to EU I also have a first batch RS HS and was thinking to change the tire because the wheel is tilting me to the right and I have to battle it while riding. I was thinking it's the tire. Have you gotten the k626 and put it on yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiiijojjo Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 no ended up liking the stock tire just fine for now. I might get one for my next inner tube replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an experiment, when you feel the 'tilting right' sensation, try holding your right arm out extended. Unicycles are very sensitive to the rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice catching myself today while it was tilting right and I think it might be my legs not used to the heavy wheel (coming from ks18xl). Thanks for the response!
