Where did you find that? Is that a bike tire on the rim?

Do you have a photo of the side of the wheel & tyre?

The tyre shape does not look ideal from what I can see. A 2.5" tyre on a 4" wide rim?

Generally the hookworms 2.5" tyres are run on a rim like this:

which is only about 1 1/8" wide.

Otherwise the hookworms are fantastic tyres, very grippy and a nice round profile.

+1 on the rim details. No problems with pinch flats What does it weigh?

This is not 4 inch wide rim on the picture.

Something is wrong here. It look more like 400 mm wide.

4 inch rim is about wider than X5 motor.

Something is wrong here. It look more like 400 mm wide..

400 mm = 16" !!

..I guess you mean 40 mm = 1.6 " :wink:
