What are some good street tires for 19" moped rim?

[maanebedotten]

I am looking for a good tire for a 19" moped rim. The rim is 1.6" wide. The bike will be for street only so I want a fairly smooth tire with decent rolling resistance and good puncture protection. If you have good experiences with a tire please let me know.

I have a street-tread Heidenau from Kinaye, contact teslanv for the part number, and other options.

I think Shinko 241's are great tires

Will do. Do you know how wide your tire is? I want at least 2.75" wide, preferably 3.0".

I am sure it is a nice tire, however it is too knobby for me. I dont want my cruiser bike to look like a dirtbike :lol:

I combed the internet in search of something other than the shinko 241. The Heidenau is a great tire, and if you want something smoother, check out :

That one just looks strange to me. It looks like a slick except the very middle. Besides it is too narrow for me.

I haven't used these, so can't say how good they are or aren't...

The only sidewall markings on mine are "M3" and "32S", along with 19 X 2.25.

The Heidenau K34 model has 19 X 3.0 / 3.25 / 3.5...and I'm sure there are others (I haven't tried this one so far, though).

The last 2 look good, off to do some research. Thanks.

That would be the Heidenau M3 then It does not come wider than yours from what I can find

I ended up going for the Heidenau K65.
