Re: [Greenspeedtrikeowners] Re: Tires for Greenspeed

Walt,
 
Thank you for the insight. I hadn't realized that Greenspeed offered a kevlar version of the Scorcher. I'll have to look into that.
Again, the wear factor is a negative with the Scorchers.
Thanks again,
--Mark

I have a Greenspeed GTR and currently have Greenspeed Scorcher Kevlar's
installed. I have a year's riding on them on pavement and no flats so
far. I am a bit unhappy with the rate they are wearing. With less than a
thousand miles they are more than half worn down. I'm about to ride
BRAG, which will probably finish them.

I pump them to 85-95lbs.

Other choices seem limited as far as max pressure, I prefer to run
fairly high.

Previously I had regular Scorchers, and before that Tioga Comp Pools.
The Scorchers are faster for me than the Tioga's, I got the Kevlar
version for a bit more flat protection, though I don't tend to get flats
much.

Can't speak for the 16" Kenda's but our Sun EZ3-USX came with a 20" Kenda. When one got a flat, I was happy to replace it with a Marathon because the Kenda was...

At this point it seems a reasonable sacrifice (speed for staility). I'm no speed demon to start with, so they are something to consider. As I've said, I'm a...

I've also had the "thorn proof" tire tubes on my GTO, and have found them to weigh a ton and carrying a spare is a major concession as far as room. They just...
