These screen shots are both from the same page:
In the spec list… itsays INFLATED diameter is 150mm
but on the tire in the image…
Maybe what’s printed on the side of the tire is uninflated size? or the tube size? or just a reference size for rim and tube selection and not actual size?
Tire Gate continues unabated!
This is exactly the kind of very not-important non-story that will affect nobody’s decision which esk8.news should be uncovering between naps.

I inlate at 29psi only,… I’m sure I don’t have the same as you either ^^
this is an outrage!
Its almost like… wait for it… the tire expands when filled with air.
So now i’ve begun development on a premium air that won’t expand with pressure so that your measurements will remain accurate.
I’m hoping to keep the price of the premium air below $97 per psi.

I think we should use CNCed solid ‘tubes’ inside the tires, they will have infinite life span and never pop or change shape!

Do you have raw in stock? When are you shipping those?
Does this mean we need bluetooth tire pressure sensors that report back to metr so that the tire size can be calculated and the speedometer remain correct? I think it does!
or i could keep a micrometer in my backpack.

Let me know when the black van arrives…I got beer n whiskey.
Tire diameter and width depends on tire pressure. If you use premium air…more expansion.
The print on the tire is somewhat misleading I admit. Fully pumped, the tire is anywhere between 147 and 150mm. Tire width between 45 and 47mm.
@Janux-esk8 Marc : well done. Sexy wheels indeed and beautiful color. Well done!
