@sugandese the new RS tires are superb. I think the Meepos look beefier and have a wider contact patch so, when installing I was like hmm kind of prefer the old look with Meepos…
But when I rode, man there’s a world of difference. First they’re not as comfortable and ride harsher, but not a deal breaker for me. They almossst roll like thane, closest you can get? And my board is already stiff so I’m already feeling all the bumps.
At speed is where the biggest difference comes in. The Meepos are not bad in terms of balance, but today I confirmed the tires would cause vibrations at high speeds. I used to think it was just my clothes or something flapping in the wind. So I always felt uneasy pushing any further. Today I felt way more comfortable and there were no vibrations. The RS tire claim to be speed rated up to 50/80 mph/kph, and come with instructions on how to further balance so maybe that’s why.
Other notes, the Meepos don’t seem to be truly 165 mm. Both claim to be 165mm, but Meepo is obviously a bit larger. I measured the RS they do seem to be 165 as they claim. Anyone else ever actually measure the Meepos?
Also found it interesting you have to go up to 60psi first then back it down to 30-32 recommended psi for flat profile. Here is the tire when first hitting just 30psi:
@Sk8tedad if you don’t mind the price and can get a hold of these, I really think you should try them out, I also have some TomiBoi hubs you can throw them on.
