Excellent All Around Tire

On: 2008-05-15

I am a paraplegic and have an offroad chair I user for hunting, hiking, etc. The wheelset that I have on this chair is this size and there are limited tires available. I was a bit worried going with this odd size (ISO 590) tire instead of the standard 26" (ISO 559) but wanted the slightly larger wheel for pushing. After trying a few different tires that didnt work well I came across this tire. This is the best tire that I have found and it hooks up great on all kinds of terrain, grass, mud, rocks, dirt. Hopefully these tires are around for a long time, if not I would need to buy up all of them I could find as there is no tire that works as well as this one for the 590 beadset.

Perfect winter tires but don't fit my rims well.

I used these tires on an old school Schwinn wheelset for my winter beater. Whether it was the tires or the rims Im not sure but they barely fit the rims. Also they dont hook up well and Im left with the tires bulging out in some areas causing the tire to be out of round. Ive had this happen before coincidentally on another pair of Kendas that were old. I simply replaced them with new Kendas and had no problems after that. So my problem????? I dont know which is to blame but these tires have a great tread pattern and despite their out of roundness they are great for what I use them for.
