- By far, the most common question I get is "Do you like the off-road or road tires more?" I'm here today to address the differences between the two types of tires so you can make an educated decision for yourself. This video was a LOT more work to make than I'd care to admit, so if you enjoy it please subscribe to the channel for more! Thanks.

I'm convinced people only like off-road tires because it makes the scooter sound cool, more like a motorcycle on the road.
As always, so informative. Doing the PEV community a great service 👍
My first scooter had offroad tires and I loved the sound🤪. On my present scooter I always ran road tires and it was waaaaay different -> no noise, lot smoother, more efficient(maybe, couldn’t tell a difference efficiency wise), but now I have a flat tire and I purchased some offroad tires again! Just because the sound they make is soooooo cool 😎!!!
Ya, the sound is fun, for sure.
@@GingerOnWheels go road or off road tires for NYC??
Yeahhh the sound is amazin!
😅 Nice 👍🏾
Excellent video. Comparison between the two tire types and some footage of both, described which use cases are good for each type of tire, and went over the wear and tear on each type vs the terrain they’re used on. Just how it should be! Keep it up.
Glad you liked it!
Perfect video man, this is exactly what I was looking for.
So you answer all question i have think off ....thanks man!! Your video is amazing!
Glad I could help!
Always enjoy your vidoes!
Thank you. That means a lot.
Great timing for this video, the PMT 100/55-6.5's I ordered came in today :D
I haven't mounted them yet but even the rubber feels better than the rubber of my stock off road tyres.
Sweet! You'll have to let us know how they do!
My current scooter came with tires that are like a hybrid between road and off-road tires. They have all the benefits of road tires but are also pretty good off-road because of the raised treads it has but does not wear on street riding like off road tires do.
On my Inokim Ox, I started with the 2.5 x 10 road tires, but in even slightly wet conditions, the scooter would often slide sideways. Hell, even in dry conditions, slow speed turns would sometimes cause it to slide.
I switched over the 3.0 x 10 hybrid all-terrain tires, and not once did the scooter slide, even in very wet conditions. I always assumed that the studs were helping to keep it upright, and I even managed to recover from slides many times. These types of tires have very thick studs, but they're places close together so the overall pressure and wear is more evenly spread.
Then, I got the Vsett 10+ which has 3.0 x 10 road tires fitted as standard. Despite the higher speeds and its desire to keep pulling, it feels much more stable. Evidently, the studs may not have had an effect on stability at all, and having the wider tire was what was keeping me upright more of the time.
The main benefit I did find with hybrid all-terrain tires was puncture reduction. The road tires on the Inokim were notorious for punctures even when inflated properly and when using tube slime. It wasn't caused by pinching, but by debris. I've not had a puncture on the Vsett yet, but I've got some hybrid tires lined up just in case.
Acceleration on hybrid tires is slower than road tires, and there's more vibration and slightly lower top speed, but maybe those trade-offs are worth it for puncture reduction.
Full offroad tires aren't something I'd find a use for, but they're really not optimised for riding on tarmac. They'll certainly do the job, but less effectively than the other options.
How often did you get flats with all-terrain tires? Vs. Road tires?
I’ve switched to 10 x 3 semi offroad on my oxo and everything is so much better, slower max speed by 3-5 km/hr. But worth it for everything else
Great video bro appreciate it
I'm the only one that loves offroad tyres sound? Great video as always🤙🏻
Like I said at 11:45 , I quite enjoy it too. Thanks for stopping by, Daniel!
Glad I waited to comment. most people wouldn't have mentioned that off road tires wear and heat up and at high speeds have led to tire failure and injury. I would have recommended off road for off road and road for road. if needing to be on paved roads or trails then a SHORT distance is fine with off road tires. but the cost is also something to consider as well as strain on motors from the off road tire use on roads. Still a great video, what has been stated by you is infarct factual and can be proven, unlike some videos where people just tell us what the manufacture says and claims or use their own opinion as fact when they have no actual backing to what they say. This is why I subbed, You have provided factual information. Cheers mate!!!!!
That's what this channel is all about! Testing for ourselves to see what things are really capable of. Most scooter channels just regurgitate the same manufacturer information or leave out the bad parts intentionally to get more clicks on their affiliate links.
I think we mostly need tires with one continuous strip in the center and knobby on the sides for mud or snowy conditions
Yeah! Like how a good hybrid tire would be designed, electric scooters arnt that good when it comes to logical choices for half the stuff but everything electric is quickly getting smarter and better
excellent point! and with the anti puncture technology (non liquid, thick gel layer, self sealing/self healing) hybrid on/off road tire. that will be great!
@@RadiantFreeEnergyResearch yeah, I already have that thick gel layer on my blade GT and it works really well, that special hybrid tire tho, such a good idea, the normal off road tires are designed terribly bececause ive been useing them for 2 weeks and ive already burned thru more than have the tread
I agree with you! I have the Zero 8X (as ive said before if you remember) and it has solid road tyres. I drive it like 50/50 on tarmac and gravel and even though there is no air in the tyres I havnt had any issues on gravel and its silky smooth on tarmac.
The sound from your offroad tyres reminds me of F1-cars when you get the "on board" camera view :)
Glad you like your 8x, I hear that's a solid scooter. Noted, that the solid tires aren't horrible off-road.
Exactly what I was looking to learn about!
I want to go get rubber cover around your front suspension if can send me the link thank you.
Wonderful video sir, as always. My Zero 11X came with road tires and they performed surprisingly well off-road.
If anyone wants to get the Zero 11X, heed my warning:
Although the rims split, it is IMPOSIBLE to remove them the classic way like on the Zero 10X.
You have two ways of removing them:
1. Unplug the motor wire from the deck (must open the deck).
2. Cut the wire and solder plug-and-play car connectors over which you apply thermo contractible insulation tape.
I found the second one to be more efficient.
Hope that helped someone. I nearly died changing the back tire after a puncture.
Trust me, it took a whole new level of desperation to cut the motor cable on my brand new 3500 euros scooter. But it works, it's waterproof and it does not overheat so...thumbs up? :D
Yeah the split rim being on the wrong side is bloody stupid. What kind of wire is it to the motor, how many inner wires? Just 2, positive and negative?
@@garavonhoiwkenzoiber Inside the main housing there are 3 copper wires, not 2.
That's crazy. Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Thanks bro, u pretty much said what I was thinking about road tyres being fine for off road too so yea, road tyres it is. U probably saved me a bit of money on tyres wiv ur video. 🤘🏼😜👍🏼
This video was a huge help. I just assumed as a person who lives in the city and the only off-roading I would be doing is grassed parkland and some basic trails I needed the off-road tires bc its a Wolf Warrior and why would I get any else? Well I was dead wronggggg. Wolf Warrior with street tires is the correct setup for me. Thank you very very much.
Happy to help. Enjoy your Wolf! 🐺
Hey great video, thanks. A question: I am 185cm tall and weight 90kg. I am planning to ride 60-70% in the city (where there is regularly rain but not snow) and 30-40% off-road (not real mountains but in the nature/wide parks). Without considering the price, Which kaboo would you advise me? Warrior x plus-off road OR Mantis 10 plus-road?
Good stuff Ginger, very important info! I switch back and forth with tires now in this season I use offroad ones, damn I love how they sound on tarmac :D Like a WOLF!
Ya, they do sounds really cool. Scooter noise isn't an issue for me so I kind of like the NASCAR sound. :D
Pretty interesting! Thank you!
How long does it take to change from Street to Offroad tires? Sounds like the process from some comments may be difficult but would about buying premounted wheel/tires so you have both?
Can you make or recommend a video where they show how to change out the tires on the Kaabo Wolf Warrior ll please?....
IGNORED!!! lmao
Thanks for your video. I ended up going with 3inch wide road tires. I loved the music in the background what's the aritist?
awesome video. You get better each time. Hey did you notice a speed increase on road with street tires?
Yes I did
My son and I both have Nanrobot D6+ scooters, which came with offroad tires. My son loves the sound they make (somewhat like a race car). I recently changed my tired to street tires and prefer it - so much smoother, especially at low speeds (that said, I use my scooter almost exclusively on the street and bike paths/lanes).
I too prefer the road tires I think.
Loved It!
I have both sets for my zero 10x.
I do like the off road tires for the hum they put out in alerting ppl ahead of me where as the road tires are so quite.But if your into top speed then the road tires are the best choice.drag is minimal and cornering is far more positive feeling.I have only road tires for my Weped SST
Oh, that's an aspect of the off-road tires that I hadn't thought about. Warning people youre coming
Your grammar is terrible. Like that of a 5 year old. 😅
@@_nom_ you're a weirdo 😂
handle bars seem narrow is there a way to extend them outword or is it possible to replace them with a bike handlebars?
im still debating on which tires i shud stick with. my work is a 1.1 mile away with no bus. i work in wyoming n roafs arent always paved n if they are tons of cracks n pits. it also snows during Oct- Feb.
i wud hate to constantly change out my tires every season but i guess theres no other option. kinda wish escooters wud have a quick detach for when i need to change tires by season
idk what escooter ur using but do they offer replacement rims n tires? i might have to buy 2 sets one for normal road n one set for snowy seasons vs replacing tires to the rim which is a pain
You could expand on using diffrent tire pressures on offroad terrain, and how it can make a difference
I wonder if on-road tires would add to the stability of my ultra 2 at high speeds? It seems like it doesn't handle as well as I think it should with the stock off-road tires that came on it.
Good info. Many thanks
Glad to help!
hey, great vid, help a lot, cause i was about to swap my street tires for the off-road on my zero 10x, and i'll just keep the street 👍
Good call!
Hi, great video. How about the urban-offroad tires for riding in bicycle lanes in winter? Do you think that is better comprimise than pure offroad tires?
I've never seen those tires so I can't really speculate.
Cool video dude, now i know what escooter to buy. What do you think about the Laotie ti30? I know it's kinda the chinese ripoff of the wolf but still if i manage to open it and make some adjustments it should be a beast
Hey GOW! Great video and inspiring tutorial. Very interesting insight into both offroad vs road tires. Your favorite song, do you mind sharing the name or the artist? Thank you again, I own a D4+ with 740 miles on original offroad tires but I feel like NYC roads as bad as they may be do not do justice to offroad tires. I will try out 10 x 3.0 road tires to see if I feel a difference. Keep on rolling safely my good sir!
I got put On Off Road Tyres on my Ninebot max G 30 and it Sounds so Wonderfull for now! I Love This Sounds when iam Crusing with it at 44 kp/H (Tuned Scooter)
tire sizing: could you explain those numbers on them (i.e. 90/65-6.5)? Also, what are your thoughts on putting on a larger tire on your scooter (some have put 13-14 inch tires on their wolf warrior)?
I'm making a vastly different scooter , but I know 6.5 is 6.5in rim. 5 is about 65 aspect , and 11in is 90 . You can do 110/55 10in. Or 13 which I'd 12.4in or 14 which is 13.?? But what scooters they fit ? I don't know? The FLJ k6 and some other flj scooter fit them all too.
hey. quick question from a newb... just got an ix5 from iscooter (didn't want to invest much and needed the good autonomy that about 500€ could offer). conditions... i drive it only on asphalt and concrete. the concrete part is about 70% of the time... the way the concrete was poured it has some tall-ish ridges... just over 1 inch every about 20ft... also, i ride it mostly at night/early morning (dark), with temperatures of around 35-40 farenheit on rain. question time... the scooter came with off-road tyres. do you think i should change to road tyres or not?
Bro where did you get your mud fenders? I have an vsett 8 but I can't find decent mud guards who actually guards my scooter from mud. Hope you can help me
I know you can get a softer ride on pavement with the road tires, but I totally love the badass look and hum sound off-road tires make. I don't ride my scoots daily so I should get a little bit of longevity out of my off-road tires. I think I probably will keep my off-road tires on my scooter for now.
Sounds good to me.
I love the off-road tire sound on pavement! Makes you sound more aggressive when pulling up on cars on the road and in general.💪🏽😈 I guess I’ll be switching my off-road tires out every 500 miles🤷🏽♂️😃
Ya they do sound pretty freaking cool
Lol, I'm surprised you can even get that much. I find that I have to change mine out every 2 months or so, about 300 miles
Had to change my off road tires on the gt before 200 miles 😂
I'd love to see a dualsport 60/40 tire for this. How long did the tire change take and would you attempt yourself with proper tools like a proper jig? @11:06 you switch scoots. Did you have the max mounted to the wolf's rack as your final mile PEV?
I might try it myself someday if I ever move farther away from Rev Rides, but for now its worth the drive down there to not have to do it myself. The tire change took 2 guys a couple hours to do. I would also like to see a hybrid tire, I think that'd be the best of both worlds.
@@GingerOnWheels I'm going to talk with my machinist friend and see if we can design a jig that would allow you to change the tire without disconnecting the cable. I'm not sure how much slack there is but maybe there is no way around that. Either way having a jig to rest the wheel in and using proper tools would be a major help maybe this is part of the reason the Wolf is $1000 less than the Thunder.
I'm building a scooter with 13in tires . Maybe 18,000w -10,000w I really haven't decided yet? Can 13 in tires fit on your wolf? Larger diameter will go over more turf, and last more miles?
Ginger I have a Yume D5 with off road tires but I want the road tires. Now my scooter is pretty fast it has two 1200 watt motors its supposed to do 40mph but on a good day I'll get 34mph how much more speed can I get with the road tires it sounds like they spin quicker I know u said 3 to 5 mph but how much u think I'll really get thx??
It'll be a very unexciting difference. Maybe 35-36, if you give it time to build up to that speed.
Question- is there something to fill a rim of a tubeless tire? I use a Y10 Yume but if I hit a rock or something hard and the rim bents how can I prevent it from doing so. Foam or something to fill up outer layer of rim? If you look up the scooter just look at the motor hub rim it has little space between the tire and the motor.
Ginger, can you make a video about charging your scooters using a smart charger (example Cycle Satiator out of Canada). For what these top scooters cost, I would like to know the best (easiest) solution to maintaining long battery life. Most included chargers can't be limited to 80-90% state of charge.
Yup. Video about fast charging coming soon.
Love your vids! Do you know if the hybrid offroad tires have the same wearing problem while on road? Thinking of getting some for my Vsett 10+
Hybrid tires make a lot more sense than off-road tires. You can probably get well over 1500 mi out of a set If you're not constantly flooring it everywhere. I wish I had tried a pair before I made this video but I have some on the few of my scooters now and they are definitely my preferred tire unless I know I will only ever be riding on dry streets, then I would get the PMTs.
how do you mount Dust Cuff, Shock Absorber on your WW 11? do you have to take off the whole damper?
Slice the covers down the middle in the back, slip them over the suspension tube and zip tie them.
Ginger....what's up bro.... so what do the street tires look like when there ready to replace. And I dont drive nor ever owned a scooter. So I know this question might sound stupid. There are little grooves in the wolf's street tires so do I change when it gets smooth and even with the inside of the groove or past that? Thanks for helping all of us!!!!!
You want to replace the street tires as soon as the rubber starts looking dry and cracked and has worn a significant portion of the tread down. I don't recommend driving with zero tread. Change before that.
I just found your channel and I love your content. I've been riding an Evolve Carbon GT for 3 years, and through your videos you've convinced me to up my game and get a scooter that rips..thanks! Keep up the great content!
So! Did you decide yet!? Lots of cool new Dualtrons coming out....
@@GingerOnWheels I'm definitely getting one, as soon as I move into a place on the ground floor! I can't imagine trying to get a wolf warrior up the steps to my apt., haha
I just brought the Kaabo wolf king gt and I wanna buy the 11 inch 130/40r6.5 wheel for the back , do you think it will fit?
amazing video
Thank you!
Hey there! snowing in the Greater Seattle Area right now as of this comment (2/14/21)-I know it’s trecherous to ride scooters in the snow, but really curious to see how scooters specifically the wolf warrior and its off ride tire will perform in the snow? Thanks!
It's possible, but not very fun or practical. If it's packed snow or fresh snow it's not too hard to do. But if the snow is packed but uneven or slushy then its just hard and makes for a sweaty workout. On little bumps the scooter can slide left or right really quickly which makes it way too hard to maintain control in more icy conditions.
Good talk. Also, hey, unrelated question: what is the best mounting device for a cell phone on my Mantis? GUP?
There is a really good phone holder on the gear store from the link in the description. Its made by anobil
Whi, whats your thought about the Zero10X and the Nanrobot D6+? If TH-cam to get one of them, which one would you get? Thank you.
Nanrobot left me with a really sour taste in my mouth. I haven't seen the D6 but I can't imagine their overall quality or customer service have improved since I delt with them. I personally would go for the 10x and then elect to put the hydraulic mtb shocks on it. If you don't plan on doing anything extreme with it then you can just stick with the regular suspension, too. I think that's a perfect amount of scooter for most people.
Hello Ginger On Wheels - I am from Germany and would like to ask the name of the manufacturer of the off-road tires and what are the corresponding tire dimensions for a 13" rim - thank you very much !!!
hello..may i know what type of side mirror he is using?
Hi Ginger, I just ordered a wolf warrior, can you upload a video on how to set up front Shock dust covers? Thanks. :)
I can try to do that soon, you can always just cut them down the back and ziptie them on. They overlap enough that they still keep 99% of gunk off.
What is the actual size of a wolf warrior 2+ toad tyre size I know it 11 inches but the whole width etc please ginger
Can you add extended 🔋 for kaabo warrior? If so wich one is best?
great video as always ginger! road tires it is then!!! me like longevity. lol :D
Where did you get the Mirror from please. Is it included in the box? Thanks Ginge!
No sir, not included in the box but they sell um on Amazon! amzn.to/2yogXiw
Is there anyway to install a seat? thanks for video 👍
Which are the most comfortable tires which are helping against these little shakes and shocks when riding over uneven ground? Thank you!
Probably hybrid or street tires but with low PSI.
So did everyone else have to cut and rewire the engine an controller wires to fit through the frame/rotor/bearings etc its looking like thats what i have to do and i'm wondering what connectors to use, i'm thinking wago ive got about 1000 miles on my oem parts and i want to change everything.
Should you have your tyre pumped rock hard or a little bit under the recommended psi? Tia
I mostly ride on trails with grass, gravel and a little dirt and a lot of cracked asphalt where I live... (I try to stay out of mud and puddles and snow) I assume you would recommend street tires then? Cause they get way more life then off-road?
Absolutely.
Yo ginge on wheels I'm looking to buy a wolf warrior and I've bin interested Ex Demo Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11 + - Off Road cost is £2299
What's the difference from the Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11 PRO + Electric Scooter
£2,599.00 I see its more money but what do you recommend I've watched load of your TH-cam videos very interesting and learnt a lot but out of all the wolfs witch is the ideal one to get?
Hey wassup guys I usually buy street tires but I noticed within one month they always pop on me. I’m in nyc and I knew a few friends that use the off road and barley have pops like my. I know off road is meant for dirt and mud but do we think it makes a difference on pot holes or rolling over things in the street?
Should I get the offroad tires if I ride 40 percent of the time on gravely dirt?
How many options are there for tires? Possibly switch to a harder rubber? Love the videos keep them coming.
As far as I've seen, they just make the one type of road and off-road tires. There is a hybrid tire someone linked on here , but I'm not entirely sure its rated for 50+ speeds , I'll have to investigate this further. Thanks for stopping by the channel!
You have an amazing place to ride!
how does it compare to zero 11x i have my zero 10x and now i want the 11x or wolf 11 what's important to me is RANGE and the lights and torque uphill
11x has more range and torque uphill but the lights on the Wolf win by a mile.
Hello, looking at purchasing my first scooter. I plan to use it on my horse farm and at horse shows to reduce the amount of walking. Don’t need speed, don’t need high end, don’t need long distance, but want to be able ride on paved driveways, grass and importantly gravel. Haven’t been able to find any information about scooters and gravel. Also need to be able to lift it into a truck so preferably under 70lbs. Any help you could give I would appreciate.
thanks, just the perfect video I was looking for
thinking of kaabo mantis v2 and want to go 3inch tires and was wondering which to choose.....think the City-Road one will be enough offroad for me, they are less road then the stock and look like will handle wet and light offroad better
even the semi-offroad look too offroad for my needs, let alone the offroad ones
I have a Arwibon Q30 can do a video of how to change out off road and road from start to finish with installation
Nice video
148th in Bellevue near Microsoft. Nice riding!
Just ordered “all season” 10 x 3 tires. A little different than off road. Curious to see how they perform.
For the Warrior
?
How about HYBRID tires? Kaabo seems to be recommending them on the Mantis GT PRO KING for general use and NOT the street tire. In fact VOROMOTORS, one of their major distributors doesn't even carry it with street tires... Is this the new normal 2 yrs down the road...? Thanks
GINGER.... what's up buddy? What's the most amps you ever charged your kaabo wolf warrior with(and how long did it take to fully charge) have yo heard of anyone using a 5amp fast charger AND A original 2amp charger for total of 7 amps at one time? Do you know if it would be safe in a pinch? I do know slower the better for majority of the time
10amps. I'm doing a video on this soon.
i have a p1+ 2400w i have 2 of them i plan on putting off road ties on one and the other i have i want to try PMT ties am getting my suspension sorted out later this year or next then all will be good in the hood
Excellent video master, my question about road and all-terrain tires... do you think there is a possibility that all-terrain tires slow down a little... because they have less grip on the pavement? I don't know if I explain myself...? For example... is it possible that my scooter with all-terrain tires can deliver a maximum speed of 50mph while with road tires it can reach up to about 55mph?
Absolutely. Off-road tires do slow down your ride a bit. In my experience they can shave up to 5mph off top speed, and also negatively impact range. Hybrid tires are my favorite right now.
Have managed to get about 2500km (~1550miles) (so far) out of my offroad tyres on the Wolf Warrior 11GT. Front tyre is still pretty good but the right side of the back tyre is gone. Like, whole side is missing all grip. Mostly road and gravel riding. That's with me being ~120kg/265lbs. Pretty much constantly running both wheel motors. Over here we are pretty heavily speed limited which probably makes a decent difference. Plan is to try the road tyres next (not keen on doing the actual swap).
I feel unsafe leaning too hard on curves with these off road tires. I think road tires will give me better curve traction for steeper leaning. Still waiting for them though...
At 10:10 I took a corner going pretty fast , I agree if feels a little less sure of itself with the offroad tires, but they do work.
U could try higher tyre pressures when using off road tyres on road.That way,any squirming will be due to flexing of just those block treads, instead of them&the tyre sidewall.Its what I do when I ride my mtb on road.(When I get off road,I let out some air back to the recommended levels).
I bought a kugo g5 which was modified and had road wheels. Everyone told me that they are better than the stock ones (offroad). In my eye, it looks like offroad wheels make the scooter higher.. is this true?
I am trying to buy a Kaabo mantis and I'm stuck between Voro and FFR's. I read everything about thejr specs. I'm only confused why Voro is offering mantis Pro either 18 or 24V way cheaper than FFR qnd still claims for enhancements done on the scooter. Do you have any idea what's the actual difference between your mantis SE and the black edition? And is it true that 18.6V gives you higher top speed than 24V?
Not sure where you're getting your specs, they are all 60v scooters. Voro does higher volume and can offer lower prices.
@@GingerOnWheels sorry my bad I meant 18 and 24 Amp/h
Ginger I have a question, I'm new to the e-scooter scene, I bought a d99 and I'm quite happy with it, it's a bit too heavy but very powerful.
I do have a question about water, on the manual they say not to ride the scooter on water, but they don't say why... So it got me a bit worried, is it because of the driver safety for not to fall or is it because the scooter is not waterproof? I don't want to burn out my scooter.. The IP Rating is ipx5
You can short out the electronics in the scooter. I recently made a video all about water resistance.

@@GingerOnWheels Thanks I'll check it out.
My ultron T11 comes with offroad tires. At 1st doesn't feel comfortable riding it on the road. But after a while I'm getting used to it and love the sounds. And my t11 looks better with offroad tires.
Is it any different between offroad/onroad tires riding in wet highway both straight and cornering?
I encourage you to watch the video and find the answers to your questions.
The answers your asking for our literally in this video
Anyone can put a link up for 90/65/6.5 road tyres for Yume Y11 thanks.
What happens if I have rear off road tire and front street tire ? would it cause more harm than good or good than harm ? assuming my scooter is rear drive, or does it even matter ?
It wouldn't cause any harm that I know of. It seems like a good option as long as you're not doing any extreme offroading.
I have a Yume X11. They come with 11 inch Nylon tires. I get a flat every 150! Miles maybe less. I’m switching to rubber 11 road tires possibly run flat. Any advice regarding flat tires. I commute from the Bronx to Manhattan 18 miles one way to work and I need to make this scooter more reliable
My only advise is to make sure your psi is 40 or higher. Some pumps let out air when you remove the pump so you're running lower than you think. There could also be a metal burr on the motor hub that you need to sand down. Trying tire liners is another option.
Hey Ryan, what are your thoughts on the hybrids? Are they any good?
Love them! Its pretty much the best of both worlds.
What about semi-offroad tires? Should be best/worst of both worlds. I have semi by default on Kugoo G2 Pro and they perform well
@ 9:21 are you sitting? Does this thing mount a chair? It sure looked like it but it was hard to tell.
No, kneeling down for better aerodynamics.
I have had 2 flat tires on my apollo ghost in under 6 months i installed armordillos after the 1st flat but it made no difference. I'm thinking about getting offroad tires for my ghost cause maybe they won't get flats as much.
I have a zero 10. I want to buy a more powerfull one. I’m thinking about a zero 10x but people say it can’t handle well in road. And I’m gonna ride it on road. What’s your opinion?
It handles fine in the road lol.
I ride my WW over 50% off road. Thank God I have the Off Road Tires! My Zero 10X has on road tires and maybe if it had off road rubber than I would not curse at it all the time. I do remember riding her in Center City Philly last summer and loving every minute of it. This is it’s environment I thought to myself. The soft suspension are up all of the nasty city streets with ease and I saw the 10X in a new light. I still say to anyone who owns a 10X; Put a Steering Damper on that wobbly front end or you are going to meet God up close and personal if you go over 25 mph at all on occasion. That front end needs all the stability and help it can get!
