Has anyone seen these sweet little cuties? Ive been running the Trampa 6 1/2" on my evolve and really really love that tire but the damn things just don’t last. I had way more life/range out of my evolve 7" so if they last twice as long im still coming out better paying $25 per tire.
I run 50psi so that might be a problem but I think the rubber they use is way to soft for the sort of carving I’m putting them through.
But I will say I put the evolves through the same sort of treatment and they last 3 times longer. Maybe even 4 times longer.
Sooo tonight I ordered the 6” evolves to give them a try and I’ll report back.
What is the rated pressure for tire, @Trampa? Seems 85PSI(, or am I not looking at the right product. ), So 50PSI should actually lead to a more uniform wear, no?
Umm, that’s not a convincing reply. This shouldn’t happen after 4 rides, especially after using less than rated pressure. My <$10($5 from taobao) 6x2" tires have lasted me 1000km and from tread wear, I calculate it will go another 1000km.
@NingNing, can you show us pics of all 4 tires? I am wondering if you tried to do a burnout . That might explain it.
I ride mine for months. Once they show a lot of wear, I swap them over to the front.
If you carve like hell and always pull the throttle hard, you can kill any tire in a short period of time, especially if over inflated for carve purpose. It’s a round tire with limited surface contact if inflated to solid state.
I have hundreds of miles on a set of Urban Treadz on a bamboo GTX. I inflate them to 70 psi. Low pressure doesn’t feel right to me. I don’t run in GT mode - I use fast mode. I’m also 190 pounds and usually carrying a backpack that isn’t light. I take off pretty quick but I do avoid braking hard. Mostly I will carve to stop. I have the trigger pegged as often as not so I’m generally running a touch over 20 mph and carving.
