Phylip Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Looking for a winter tire solution for a Kingsong 18xl. Would love a knobby tire that could also accept studs because I would like to ride off road on hard pack snow. Can't find anything so any suggestions would be great!

yoos Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) This seems a bit of a challenge: the 18XL is 18" x 2.5" (in bicycle notation: full diameter x tire width) or 2.5"-14" (in mc notation: tire width - rim size). It's a much rarer size than the 18"x3" that most large EUCs have. Basically you have to look for 2.5-14 dirt bike tires or 60/100-14 bicycle tires (in this notation 60 is width in mm, 100 is aspect ratio, 14 is rim). There are tricks to fit larger tires in EUCs: lifting the body and/or cutting the shell in some places but that's a more difficult level of modding. See below for further tire info: And here's general information on sizing edit:added reference to a related thread Edited January 18, 2022 by yoos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
