3 of 5 it's more like a bicycle tire. January 2, 2019
taco eater : David Silva from Draper, UT United States  
I bought this tire to install on a electric semi recumbent, under the idea that it would help with puncture proofing.

I have an 11mm tack, which is designed to emulate a really long goathead, and i test tires by stabbing them with it.

3mm of the tack was protruding, so we can say that there's a 7mm thick layer of rubber here.

I've measured several bicycle tires, and the thickest one i've seen was 7mm thick with this measurement ( marathon plus ), so for as attractive and bicycle-like this tire is, i'd say it's probably the bare minimum of what you want on a moped. The measured weight is a lithe 2.9lbs.

The max speed on the sidewall is 31mph, so i imagine this is best suited as a tire for the front of a moped, but not the rear!

Pros: light, looks like a bicycle tire, cool tread.
Cons: It's basically a bicycle tire with a thicker sidewall and different rubber, essentially.

5 of 5 Excellente August 15, 2016
taco eater : Dirty30 Dillon from CT  
These are perfect all-season tires. Dirt track in CT: check. Blizzard in Boston: Check. MopedGP East: Check.

They're a slice of cake to put on, and will make your day brighter.

4 of 5 It's a Biggie March 1, 2012
taco eater : Jack Cole from Walton, NY United States  
This tire is much sturdier than I had expected.  Nice and stiff sidewalls.

BUT NOTE- it runs big.  The 2.25 was a bit over 2 1/2 inches wide and rubs on the front fender and swing arm of my Batavus VA.
