Right I need new tyres for my ns build, I want tan walls, the biggest concern is weight I'm running khe Kevlar 1's and there light as a feather?,
My mate had some fit faf tan walls but they worn down really quick! Any ideas?
-
olly the only reason my fit fafs have worn down so quick is too many 540 tyre taps!!!!
shane has had his longer than me and his are fine, he runs the 2.5 version, make sure your frame can take a tyre that big before u order them
there is nothing around that as light as the khe's at the momment, the primo v monsters look good (hence why ive ordered mine) only downside is the weight as there is no kevlar beaded version
look at odyssey tan walls too as they have a good selection, mart runs a beaded set
-
KHE do tan walls now, only in wire beaded versions though

They're still light compared to v monsters and the like :daumenhoch:
Keep saying i'll get some when my current KHE's wear out. fronts about 4 years old ;D
I don't get out enough :-[

Got a pair of duo brand tan walls but their grip... or lack of is shocking in indoor parks

my v monsters arrived from custom riders yesterday, very happy with em
apart from the fedex guy deciding that as i wasnt home he would leave them in my neighbours bin, on bin collection day!!!!!!!!!!!
luckily the bin collection had already taken place!!!
-
I know what I'm going for now so I'm happy, what a dick leaving them
In a bin lol!
-
yep a complaint has been put into fedex, if they actually do something about it is another thing
what did u decide on in the end
oh and how was scooterland :LolLolLolLol:

It will be ok for a mess about if it's raining! The mini spine is tight but worth a ride!:)
-
gonna say it looks tight!! and no coping or its very small and not much platform space but then again it is made for scooters
which ones, the Magro or Amplo?
if Amplo then make sure your frame can take a 2.35 tyre!
-
Not sure there 2.1
-
Magro then, 2.1 will be fine :daumenhoch:
-
The spine has no coping but the quarters do
