Do you have the file? I know people with access to 3D printing
Just scale to whatever height you need

I have also had good luck with Kendas, 850 miles on my current set with plenty of life left in em. Fairly hard riding too.

CST street tires are awesome. Not quite as durable as Kendas but more comfortable imo.

Kendas lasted a good while for me. Got mine prob over 1k miles, still have decent treads on them. Granted I’m not a carver guy.
While I’m an edge case, I still vote +1 for Kendas. When my custom Kaly was my raceboard, they were my tires of choice. They lasted substantially longer then any other 8" tire I tried, lasting me 4~6 weeks/set.
I ended up just buying 30 last year to get a bulk discount, as I knew that I was going to be tearing through them(I guessed the number well, as I put on my last set right as I finished my proper raceboard build a couple weeks ago)
Here’s a photo of my used tire stack(every tire is ridden down to the cords)
Plus, they make a fun screeching sound when you push the limits of traction

Curious how those 200x50CST tires above have held up on comparison, the lack of tread depth has me pausing… I just had 2 out of 4 HOTA tires that were completely unusable, had an issue with the bead so that I could not get it to seat properly. found this which has me interested, it’s a CST but 190x50 and the tread depth looks decent.

200x50 CSTs are softer than Kendas, but when I tried the 190x50 they felt a bit harder like a Kenda.
The main thing I remember about the 190s is that they don’t stretch very well.

Who would be interested in a 200 x 75 tubeless tire or system?

I’m torn between alienExpress cst 200x50 or 190x50 and skp 175x50’s
What should I do?
Anyone have a side by side of skps and cst?
What are you looking for most in a tire? CST’s will be softer/cushier. Can’t compare grip because I haven’t used both to compare. Is potential wheelbite a problem?
I’d say I’m mostly concerned about roundness and balance, even though my sunmate hubs wobble with no rubber in them😞 I’ll upgrade those later, I don’t ride far so treadlife isn’t a concern really, I might see 100-150 miles a year

The SKP 175mm and the cst 200mm tires both have excellent balance on most hubs (except trampa).
You just need to choose if you want a 7” or 8” tire.

Appreciate that, anyone have 7"vs 8" photos?
My sunmates are trampa clones, so they cloned the wobbles with it
Lots of pics on the forum. Use the search function
Haha I knew that was coming from someone, I was hoping for a side by side comparison and someone who had used both to tell me what’s better. Not going to easily find that in the search box.
I’ve owned both. There is no “better” between them. It’s just personal preference.
What board is it going on? Might be able to tell you what I’d do if I knew the board.
To me the decision comes down to how much impact absorption you want to have. While both options have great balancing properties, the CST 200mm tires will absorb impacts better than the SKP 175mm tires.

Lol I’m gonna get crucified.
It’s an old school mbs atom I got for free, half the parts on this build were super budget, wife got me one matrix 3 and my kids got me the other matrix 3 for my birthday or I would still be on the free spring channel trucks that were 20 years old lol. Got some cheap sunmate hubs and 155x50 tires but the tires wobble a bit and look tiny on the wide matrix III
