I’m looking for any and all links to tires that look flat without the need for a extra widener. Like xcell or evolve have done. But from manufacturers directly. My ali-fu has failed me as I have no idea what search terms to use (“flat tire” clearly fails )
Criterias are simple:
i think the Metroboard tire is the only tire with the flat profile that fits standard size wheels. Anything else like the new Excell tire or the 200x75 “fatty” require a wider wheel. If you don’t want to spend $500 on a set of wide offset wheels, you’ll have to get someone to make you a spacer to widen your wheel. Lust to circle back to your question, i think the Metroboard tire is the only thing that matches what you’re looking for.
The fivestars may be able to hold a wider tire since they are a bit wider but I’ve never tried it. Ideally, something in the 60mm - 70mm wide range would be a bit flatter but would still fit.
