Where can I buy a vega tyre from?
Any other tyre alternatives are welcome.Done 1927 miles on my OneWheel and now it's time for a tyre change.
Dont want to end up paying $300 for the postage and $99 for the tyre Replacement.

Do a forum search.
Someone in Europe was able to find a Hoosier or Burris if I recall.

1927 on one tire? I'm at about 900 miles on my Vega and the cabling is starting to show through.
-
If it's on one side only,
rotating the tire will almost double its life.
Done it on my V1 and worked great.

@sonny123 Well there are two distinct groves on either edge. One side I can see the cabling very clearly in certain spots and the other side I can barely see it in some spots. Do you have to remove the tire from the hub to rotate it or simply rotate the entire tire and hub? I haven't had to take my board apart for any reason yet so not that familiar with the workings of it yet. (Wish I could say the same for my Evolve that requires daily maintenance and I know inside and out because of it. )
Thanks

The hub only goes in one way.
You'll have to remove the tire.
But if it started showing on the other side too,
might as well replace it.
Mine showed quite a bit on one side but the other was still good.
So rotating it was worth it.
Actual disassembly is easy but finding a tire shop willing to rotate/replace can be a problem.

@sonny123 Yeah luckily some OW buddies here in Atlanta have already referred me to tire shop guy who has changed theirs for them. My new hoosier should be here tomorrow. Thanks for your help
-
@sonny123 yeah just on one side!
Will give it a go, when I got some time on my hands. :)
