I’m like 3 sets into these cst. I’ve had a set of the lacroix branded ones for awhile. Between the 3 sets of ridden on they all were easier to get rolling. As in they rolled more true then like 3-4 kenda sets I’ve bought.
Yeah, some of the Kendas I have, wobble a little bit. I’ve tried weights etc…and can’t fix it, then some are money. After riding on the CST, do you think they’ll wear out faster or hold up longer?
I have never ridden the CST 8" but Ive got a decent amount of miles on the 7" skp tires which claim to be the same exact compound, the SKP grip is way better than Kendas but they are definitely not as durable, not by a ton but probably around 10% faster wearing they have a good amount of tread on them but it’s just a trade-off, Its one I am happy to make but if your goal is the most durable tire they probably arent the best choice, the BKB is by far the most durable tires I’ve ridden but I hate the way they act when pushed so it’s up to your goals. Its kinda hard to tell wear since I ride the SKPs way harder since they are so much more confidence-inspiring so I push them harder which could lead to the quicker wear
The reason I am willing to spend the money on them besides the grip is how incredibly smooth the skp 7" is, it shocked me, it felt like riding a one wheel, I’ve never felt an esk8 tire so soft and well-balanced.
