I came across this recently when looking for 4" bead diameter tires:

which 6" tires are you using on the InfinityHubs?
Imo worst road tire ever. Has like -10 grip and feels like plastic. These are Innova tires with the Kenda tread pattern. Very different compound to regular Kendas. Very hard and smooth in comparison.

What kind of 8" road tire do you like?
Kendas are great, widely available too. The CST/Cleaver ones are also pretty good.
Just avoid the MBS/innova 8" ones. I fully slid out on a tiny patch of gravel going fairly slow, and the ride feel is really weird.

Yea hard to beat the kendas. Wears well and long lasting. They do have this sound that I love when carving hard.

I don’t think anyone here has tried them out yet
They seem decent though, and for the price, definitely not a bad deal if they’re good

Hi! I would like to know which of this hubs could fit regular 8mm trucks, specially their axle length (34 mm long axle, without nut; 27mm of free space). Mine are 12’’ flipsky trucks and i want to use some 6’’ wheels. Lot of information here but can’t find this dimension. Cool post

Flipsky does sell 6inch wheels, but not sure if they can fit on those trucks, but they can be used on 8mm axle. Would need to ask support about width.
Evolve wheels or Evolve hubs should fit even with those weird pulleys. Probably the best choice. I mean, flipsky 12 inch trucks are clone of evolve trucks, right? So it should fit.
Trampa offers adapters for their Superstar hubs to be used with standard 608 bearings, I believe these should fit regular skateboard trucks.
Alternatively it’s possible to get 638 bearings, which will allow you to use MBS or other mountain board trucks on 8mm axles, but you would need more space than 27mm.
Aliexpress 6x2 also be used with 608 bearings, but require more space than 27mm.
Sunmate also sells 6inch wheels that fitx 8mm axle, but once again I’m not sure on the width they need. These hubs use aliexpress 6x2 tire, so the hubs are not the same as genuine Trampa Superstar.

Thank you very much for the info. I asked some brands about that dimension (quite difficult to get clear information because they didn’t understand what i was asking for or simply didn’t answer) and I finally bought some old version of Sunmate wheels. They told me those could fit my trucks (25 mm between bearing outer faces, 608…), whenever they arrive I’ll tell you if it works. Thanks again!

The Hurricane 155mm tires handle pretty well. Unfortunately I only got about 250 miles out of them. I’m not a hard rider and weight about 190lbs with all my gear. I do carve a lot. I am going to try a set of 6” Evolve tires and see if I get more life out of them.
