EUC Extreme Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I'd like to run next winter Gotway18. But the 18-inch Heavy tread tires are really hard to find. I google searched all over the globe and outs of the results If anyone has any tips to give even an acquisition place. I would be very grateful. This kind of ring pattern would be perfect but, other kinds of shows. It would be important that it would be able to put the pins.
Gimlet Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 How about a Schwalbe Mad Mike BMX Tyre with K Guard? They come in 16", 18" and 20" and two widths 1.75" and 2.125" Edit: Just checked and for some reason the 18" only comes in 1.75" for some reason.
Gimlet Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Or there Kenda that make a similar tread tyre in 18 x 2.125 and Coyote Cycle 18 x 2,125 knobbly MTB I found those on Ebay but I cant get the links to post. Just search for 18 x 2.125 BMX tyre on Ebay.
EUC Extreme Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Oi! Thanks for the tip I have to keep track of those. How do these sizes now went much .. Gotway tire reads 18x2.50 / 64-35 Can I put 18 x 2.125 ?
Gimlet Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 It should go on ok. The beads will just set out wider onto the rim and make the tyre profile a little lower and less round.
EUC Extreme Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Still I can not find it Always too small pieces studs, or just the right size is missing.
EUC Extreme Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 I found Kenda 18 ". But it is not for winter use because probably this is not to insert the pins. There should be more rubber to be screwed. But this probably fits very well in the summer of off-road driving. Of course this is a little lower than the original, which means the maximum speed to drop. But I'll try anyway.

MetricUSA Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Doh! I can't find a anything but a 18x3 wheels! Can we squeeze a 3" in a Gotway or Kingsong? Any updates to this topic?Did find Michelin m62 18 x 2.75...
Gimlet Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 The M18 comes with a 2.50" wide tyre as standard and there is room to fit my index finger between the case and tyre all around apart from the very edges of the case which angle in at 90 degrees towards the wheel a little. I'm sure these edges could be trimmed back with very little loss of strength to the case.
Eman Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Hey guys, I wanted to make this topic again active... I'm looking as well for a winter tire. Found following: http://powersports.kendatire.com/en-us/find-a-tire/motorcyclescooter/dual-sportadventure/k270-dual-sport/ 2.75-18 might be to big https://www.bmxguru.com/collections/tires-18/products/18-x-2-25-kenda-kontact-all-blue-bmx-tire Here I guess it's too less profile https://www.amazon.com/18x2-50-64-Inner-Tube-Electric/dp/B00SVA0YJI This one is somehow almost like original one, but as well the profile is not really big. @EUC Extreme which one did you use in the end?
EUC Extreme Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 I do not use any of these. But I think that the first one would be the best of these three.
