Salihdkn Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I want to change the tire I have but not sure what's the maximum width it can have without having to cut the shell at all. I know that people did 16x2,5 tire mod with cutting the cover but I don't want to cut it and what is the effect if I get a thinner tire and should I just keep the same width? ideas?

mrelwood Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 You can’t fit larger than the original 16x2.125” without modifications. But I definitely felt that the 2.5” upgrade was worth it! The difference isn’t huge, but it is significant. The wheel is more stable, turns tighter and is easier to balance at slow speeds. Definitely recommend if you’re wondering whether you’re up for it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the original size ones don't want to cut the shell because im planning to sell it in a few months maybe less to buy s22 pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassy0110 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 A narrower tire will typically have less rolling resistance, which can improve your bike's speed and handling. But it may also provide less traction, especially on wet or slippery surfaces. I recommend you to read the article https://www.bikethesites.com/650b-vs-700c-tires/ I hope it will help.

Bicycle tips are often irrelevant for EUCs, such as is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
