16x3.0 offroad tire

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know of any offroad/winter tires that will fit the nikola? 

I tried this tire: https://www.thansen.no/scooter-moped-mc-mx/moped-og-scooter/dekk-og-slanger/crossdekk-offroad/12-/bridgestone-cross-m403-60-100-x-12/n906437/pn906438/ but it is made from indestructium and impossible to get over the rim without destroying the tube in the process.

So I had a look at 16 inch offroad bicycle tires, but it seems like nobody makes anything that is more than 2 inches wide. The widest I was able to find was 1.9 inch. How will this affect the ride compared to a 3 inch wide tire, should I even consider it? https://m.bikester.no/schwalbe-black-jack-dekk-16-kevlarguard-svart-660027.html

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLBaMdV I found this tire that someone on the forum put on a 16x. Does anybody have experience with installing this tire? Aliexpress says that with the tax and shipping to get that tire here to Norway it is almost usd $80, so I dont want to buy that tire just for it to be impossible to install like the motorcycle tire I already tried.

I have also found this: https://shinkotireusa.com/product/trail-pro-sr241-series-tire/211922 But i cant find a seller that ships to Norway, and its "true" with is 3,31 inch and the outer diameter is 18.27 inch, so doubt it will even fit. And this is also a motorcycle tire, so probably also very hard to install.

Any suggestions and help on this would be greatly appreciated :).

I just ordered 2 of the Shinko tires by mistake to Sweden. If it fits perhaps could post one to you in Norway? 

That would be sweet! Please post in the thread when you get the tire if it fits, and its riding characteristics. If it does fit(or fits with some minor modifications) I would be interested in buying one of them from you :). You are also installing it on a Nikola?

Update.... I had to cut nearly all of the tyreaway to make it fit and it made the Nikola very sluggish. Cannot recommend it to anyone!
