XCELL™ RS™ E-Skate Tires 165mm x 62mm - set of 4
Sold Out
NOTE! The initial batch of test tires we received aren't to the level we want to bring to this product. We have the necessary fixes in progress, and are doing extensive testing to make sure the final result is as good as it can be.
First, XCELL™ led the e-skate industry with the most innovative and beautiful aluminum alloy wheels, and now we again are shaking up the segment with the perfect tire for XCELL™ XT series wheels. At 165mm (6.5") in diameter, and 62mm wide, these flat-top RS-series tires will set a new benchmark for performance e-skate rubber.
Featuring a lower-profile, flat-top design with fantastic grip, long tread life, and superior radial balance, these tires usher in an improved ride experience on your favorite board. These tires run best around 35-45psi, and should last at least 1k miles of hard riding. They have a very stiff sidewall and can even act as "run flats" in an emergency.
Think of this as a “max grip summer tire” like a Pirelli Corsa - a street legal race tire with max grip, but not something for wet environments. This is essentially like a race slick tire with a few small cutouts for treads. It is not for wet pavement or offroad. Keep it on dry, paved surfaces and you’ll be much happier.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- These tires do not include tubes, but tubes for 6" tires (150x50mm) work well. 8” tubes don’t work, so don't use them! And Evolve 7" tubes stretch out after use so don't use Evolve 7" unless new and un-stretched. If it bunches up in the tire, it's too big! A 150x50mm will fit inside the tire with no bunching.
- These tires only fit XCELL™ XT series of wheels. Standard-width Xcell wheels can work, it just requires a specific installation method. Any other brand of wheel is not guaranteed to fit.
- Use silicone grease (such as the brand "super lube" available on amazon) and rub it all along the tire bead on both sides before installation, to make the tire fit all the way onto the rim and prevent distortion.
