RE: Pint tire change, who’s done it?posted in General Discussion
@Sponge315 also amazed at mileage from og, but attribute some of it from over-pumping the tire after leaks developed 1500 miles in. Had four unsealable leaks at the end, but it was a good tire. Already see it’s next use tacked on the side of the garage with a bit of dirt in the bottom and an aloe vera plant poking out. My first OW tire, fond of it.

@Sponge315 tire arrived, and tough to tell much from looking/feeling it but appears a rounder profile and drop off from the flat to the sidewall than pint og tire. Rubber seems about as hard as the og as well, but a the sidewall feels like it has a bit more flex (perhaps a little less thick) than the og pint tire. Don’t feel like the full disassemble tire change right now, but will update with pix and thoughts when I do. Pics of new Hoosier slick R60B next to old Pint tire with about 2395 miles below:

@Sponge315 agreed. For the record it ended up being a $42 gamble. Will update once I’ve done the switch/out test. May take a while cause I’m loving the Hoosier so much- but all this free time could change that quickly.

@OneDan agreed on the side to side grip, and overall feel which is amazing compared to stock tire. Just ordered this Hoosier slick-will update once switched out and rode.

@Franko temperature could be in play here, but after a couple of days and 40 miles I def feel like I’ve lost range. Regardless, the ride is SO MUCH BETTER. It’s better slow, better fast, better on pavement, better on dirt.
I’m exploring a Goldilocks option, cause I’m never going back to the stock tire- found this on Hoosier’s website- seems like it would fit, the R60B compound seems stiffer than the treaded Hoosier, which I think is a WET compound that’s seems very soft to me, prob why it feels so good. Now that I can change the tire, and have extra slime, at $32 thinking about taking a chance. Any thoughts? Thanks for any tire insight- it’s all greek to me.
