hi all im after the general thoughts on weather to get mtb or motorbike tires. as far as i can gather i really like the feel on my previous 24"x3" mtb tires they are light and nimble and look good. yet on my next build im very tempted to go with 19"rim on moto tires. mainly because DD motors at 72v seem to wear out the tires real quick.
so question is is the extra rim weight and tire weigh worth it for the harder wearing tires. or is the extra weight gain especially over the front a huge difference. my thinking is if i go up to moto tires im better off aiming for 5kw+ rather than the 3kw i had with norm tires to have the same speed and front wheel lifting power(childish i no but zombieland rule 32 enjoy the little things).
