brjohnso Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 How long does a tire last on an EUC? On my S1, the compound seems very soft and there is noticeable wear after just a few months. The new KS-16 seems to have a harder compound. How many miles should I expect to get out of a tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoltri Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Probably a lot of variance, but I am 100kg and my KS16 tire should last between 3000-4000km. If I remember correctly have about 2500 on it so far and it is noticeably worn in the center. I already bought a new one, just waiting to replace it until I must.

Roo Williams Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 EDIT: eWheels has a great guide on them: https://www.ewheels.com/guide-tires-appropriate-pressures-electric-unicycle/ glad to see hookworms there. I used to use them on my BMX, nice tires, wish they were a tiny bit fatter. I too noticed how soft they are on my Tesla. Any reason why these wouldn't be a good idea on the Tesla? It's stock tire is 16" x 2.125" https://www.unicycle.com/maxxis-hookworm-16-x-1-95-tire/ 16" x 1.95 https://www.unicycle.com/innova-16-x-2-4-tire/ 16" x 2.4 (would have to check the shell clearance.. maybe not the best city tire) Where are people currently buying replacements?

steve454 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Here is an old thread about tires. Some people had defective Maxxis Hookworms, some people loved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Williams Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm gonna order a few and try them out. I'm liking the look of this slightly wider tire, from Specialized. Seems to be enough room inside the Tesla shell for a wider tire too. And these look like good street tires for the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourtoys7 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I would think "most of us" would need to change tire due age (3 years) or so, rather than miles/ km. Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
