Re: [ez3-usx] Re: What are the Best Tires?

Hi Everyone,
   I prefer the Schawble Stelevo's, they are very light for speed (220g), they don't get flat (2700 miles, no flats). They also last a long time and still going strong. The psi can be adjusted to your liking, up to 145 lbs. I like to ride far from home and need a good reliable tire, especially with the bad roads and broken glass that seems to be everywhere.

Bob,

I've kind of gone the other direction and put 110 psi Kenda Kwest tires on mine. My trike is a lot faster than it was with the 65 psi tires that came with it. Yes, the ride is a big more rough, but I think the trade-off is worth it to gain some speed. I only really notice it if I'm on a rough trail, hit a pothole, etc. My trike is not only faster, but a lot more nimble. I can go about as fast I can on my upright hybrid bike, which means I can also keep up with my family when we ride together. For me, it's worth the trade off.

Hi Mike, Can I ask what you have found is your gain in speed (in MPH)? Don't they feel awfully stiff and "jolt-y" when you hit a bump? Bob...
