Tires - Balloon/Urban type

[littleskull99]

Here are some tyres I will be using on my mext build, they are 20 x 3.0 from mission cycles in the uk. They are made by cheng shin. I had an electra revil with a 24 x 3.0 fattio tyre on the back and they are exactly the same bar the size. The fattio is like £50 a go and the cheng shin are £20 a go. Go figure..

My michelins don't squeak anymore. It took awhile though.

I got a flat today and I noticed while fixing the flat that the sidewall is already starting to crack or dry rot. Wow, its only been one year. Shame on you Michelin engineers! The bontragers were much better and didn't crack.

Looks like Michelin Pilots are discontinued now. The replacement is Michelin Energy which looks like the same tread design but only available in 700c. Then they say it's for ebikes. :?

On a side note, it looks like Bontrager Hanks tires are back again. I'd run a liner of some sort if getting those again. Lots of flats.
