Michelin City Pro 80/90-14 on the Sherman V2 (wide rim)! Fantastic all around, highlight: sticks to the road with grippy rubber and no bounce at all, precise and predictable turning, very high stability, no wobble at any speed, great on road, gravel, competent off-road. Downsides: - harder rubber requires tuning the tire pressure to a sweet spot to do its magic and get great comfort. - on the Sherman V2 wide rim: requires more physical commitment to turn as the tire keeps the wheel upright (bonus: reduces pedal dipping dramatically) Overall great choice for the Sherman although I expected very nimble from forum posts: a happy accident anyway.
Avon Viper Stryke AM63 and Michelin Pilot Street 2 are my favorite 80/90-14 tires so far. The Contiscoot or angel pirelli are runner ups. 🤙 I’ve been trying so many tires in this size category, would love to hear and try other good options.
V11 InMotion installed a Shinko 241 14" x 2.75 excellent tire. Off road grip in soft sand, loose dirt, stones and gravel feels like tarmac. Absolute blast with this new tire. It's a tight fit only the pin hairs rub but easily cut off. Also cut the stand as it rubbed on the tire edges. Ended up removing the stand as it locks in the grooves in the tire and causes a overload when turning on. Safer to just have no stand. Can see videos on my channel.
I found a knobby tire improves it's manoeuverability once the treads have worn down after around about two or three weeks. It’s still not as good as the street tire but it’s almost as good and then the off road improvements a massive as well.
Indeed, knobby tires make a huge difference on maneuverability. But like you said, the grip is much better off road and also on poorly maintained roads. It'd be great to find a new tire pattern that performs well on all surfaces.
I also installed Heidenow k66 tires on my v11 this time. Due to the it's tight fender, I take a size of 80/80-14 During the test ride, I was very surprised by the smooth ride and easy steering. I still think Kenda 262/ Cst navi tire is great for high speed straight riding but not for carvings and steep turns. Above all, the K66...I think the ability to filter out small vibrations on the uneven road surface is excellent and peforms well on most of road conditions.
Brilliant topic. Converted my mten3 into tubeless. Easy doing and much better solution. I used a MT32 valve, being very short and not angled. Refill of air is hasslefree, no valve extension needed. Holds my 100+ kg at 45 psi for more than 600 km as of today. Definitely all of my wheels will be converted as soon as tireaction will be required.
the Chao yang H666 was my favorite but no longer in production for 18x3 size. a similar but a bit heavier, gripper and more durable alternative is the Kenda k340a(sherman street). but not as nimble as the h666. the k262(sherman knobby) is a ultra stable and super grippy tire but not nearly as fun to carve on VS the other two tires
I am ordering my first EUC from ewheels and they say their "street tire" option is the Kenda k340a. So, from what I understand, this has better grip on the street, correct?
Shinko 244 2.75x14 compared to Stock tire on a MSP. Pros, very heavy and strong tire, very stable, lots of traction, high pedal clearance, eliminates speed wobbles. Cons, tones of trimming required to make tire fit (remove side knobs flush to the side of the tire), drastically reduced range, rocks and sticks like to stick in tread and get forced through wheel well, takes much more effort to perform turns at higher speeds. Wheel runs hotter, more likely to overheat in climbs. Not sure if I would put it on again. There is a lot of give and take with this tire.
Next time just grind the sides down on a curb. You only need to take off a few mm. Maybe 15-20 seconds per side. Using the shave down vs cutting you don’t accidentally overdo it. Shave s bit, get on, still rubs, shave a bit more.
One thing to note is that heavier tires will impact the acceleration and drain the battery significantly (1 kg extra tire weight is much more than 1 kg rider weight, because the tire is spinning)
Hi, all this tires are popular but doesn't answer the question about more all-round tire, you should test Heidenau and similar tires cause the shred looks more capable off-road than stock cst but not as straight only going like "Sherman" tires
Hello, very informative! In your opinion, what tire can you recommend as a universal for street and light offroad? I'm riding about 80% on street and from time to time on forest paths. It is especially interesting how it will behave in autumn or spring weather, for example, wet fallen leaves, or slightly dirty sidewalks or melted snow. will it skid suddenly on such surfaces? Perhaps you have faced such. I am looking for an S22 stock tire to replace. Interesting City Grip 2 tire, will it suit for such surfaces?
Having an Inmotion V8F, I was checking which tire to put on it when it will be time to change it. So I was looking on the bike's side, but should I consider motorcycle's tires instead? With a tire like 16×2.125, what kind of ETRO should I consider? My use case is more on the city commuting side than anything else, with around a third consisting of gravels and dirt road.
Hi Adam, thanks for another great video! 👍 Do you know if the knobby tire you mentioned for the MSP will fit the RS first batch? I heard they have a smaller clearance due to the lower pedal hangers.
An 18x3 tire is not really 18" in diameter, it is closer to 20". Not sure why they call it an 18, maybe it based upon the mean diameter of the inner tube that the tire uses.
Mr. Way… so I have a question… what about the MSP that has a 19" wheel diameter? How is it that the MSX84 Volt stock tire can fit that MSP? Why doesnt it say 19?
what's up Adam! I really liked the video but I have a question or problem on asphalt with the CST c186. The sensation in curves is that the wheel lies down excessively and I have to correct a lot! I have to slow down and I don't feel safe. Do you think it's because of the tire pressure? (2.7kg) or is it that uncomfortable on the road already? Thank you!! @ 1x1grx
Just a ⚠ WARNING! If you put the CST 186 tire on to the V11 you should remove the stand or modify it so it can't touch the tire, and can't get stuck in it. If it gets stuck in between the tire profile, and you turn on the wheel you will burn the motherboard, and potentially damage the motor.
Here are images of the stand mod. You just need 2 longer screws, and 2 nuts. drive.google.com/folderview?id=1TKFUq4iu6vEZ8IEccdzZ3-xOeKr2RCo2 Maybe Adam allows this comment 😅 If you see it he did 😂
Nice video. Can i ask, if you by chance know any tire 18x3 that are smaller than 2.75" inches (70mm) in width? Been looking for tire upgrade 3 weeks now. Can't seem to find any non slippery tires in that size.
The tire will be stamped "tubeless" if it can be run without a tube. It is a bit of work but I have over 1000km on my Contiscoot with no tube and I love it :)
This is what i put on my KS16X, Is no easy, very grippy, on streets ok, but difficult to take tight turns www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LCJ3SAW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hello! What tire do you recommend for Begode Extreme? I just mounted a Heidenau K38 on my new Begode Extreme because i didn’t like the stock tire on asphalt. It had a very unsettled ride when trying to go straight especially in cross wind. But after switching to the K38 these things only got worse. I have tried 1.5bar to 2.7bar but it doesn’t seem to make much difference.
@@mr_wrongway Any particular model of the Shinko? I’m starting to believe that the rim is too wide on the Extreme causing it to give the tire a too flat profile and that makes the EUC unwilling to lean enough.
Siemka mam taka sprawę: myślałem nad kupnem euc (Sherman, begode ex.n, inmotion v12) do zabawy + do realizowania przewozów(np w volcie jako dodatkowe zajęcie w ładną pogodę) i moje pytanie jest takie czy te pojazdy są aż tak awaryjne ( któryś już filmik w tym tonie na kanale) czy może Ty jako youtuber "wyciskasz" z nich 110% i stąd te usterki? Z góry dzięki za odpowiedź i pozdrawiam 👍
I don't think it's possible. Someone in the forums said that the 80/90-14 is too wide: forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/19972-18x3-street-tire-catalog-msupers-sherman-etc/?do=findComment&comment=334086 But that the 70/90-14 works!
Thanks for this information! Is there a way to tell when you need a new tire? On a car tire, they say use the penny test. Any similar test for EUC? I’ve got 3500km on my 16X. To me the tread seems ok. Thanks!
I got the Shinko 244 Series Rear/Front Tire - 2.75-14 for my MSP. I'm not sure if it's even going to be usable. I just installed it and t's rubbing so hard.
90/90-18 Michelin pilot street is what i got for my monster pro. the stock tire is paper thin and my rim broke running at 35psi and and normal trail riding
Which tire do you use? Comment below!
Recommended Tires:
For 18-20" inch wheels (14" rim)
Off Road: Schinko 244, Kenda K262, CST C186 (all 14 - 2,75)
Street: Michelin City Pro, Heidenau K66, Chao Yang H5102, Continental Contiscoot (all 80/90 - 14)
Great video very informative The way you explain things man very thorough .peace and Happy Riding
Does a Tesla accept a 12 or 12.5 x 2.5 inch (bike/buggy/moto) road tyre?

Cool, you got the right tyre. Also good point is to put goop in the tube and you will never have flats.

Hi, what are the exact dimensions for the K66 for my Gotway MSP 18X3? Motorcycle tires sizes confuse me.
Brilliant topic. Converted my mten3 into tubeless. Easy doing and much better solution.

Any details on how you went about the conversion and what you used?
@@jeffreytong just widen the valvehole in rim a bit, pull the tubless mt32 valve trough and you are done
And if your tire rubs: freeespin it against acurb it quickly will remove enough to stop the rubbing

My tire in V5f is hard to fit regular . it is little waving up and down . so little lower presure helps .

Thank for this video. I have to change the tire on my Nikola Plus and i was lost with the different size
you mention that tire being the best but you didnt say the name of it. very curious what that is
what kind of tire traits would make a euc better when traction is lost, eg rain, and emergency turns?
Just had a good ride with my V10F, but I noticed that I need a better tire because of all the sand and cut grass on the pavement 😅
At first, I thought him yelling "wroooong waaaay" in every video was annoying, but now I think it is funny and laugh every time.
