replacing tire

[roachman]

My one wheel is almost 1 year old and I just noticed my tire is very worn where you can see threads. is that as long as a tire last? am I able to take somewhere in Houston to have changed or do I have to send into OW? thanks

This is from a previous post by @sonny123 . I'm sure someone from this forum will guide you about Houston area. You could always just ship it to @sonny123, :)

@roachman You should read this post because some of the advice might apply to you as well:

thanks. my PSI is probably a little low at 16, so that might be what caused it. I am just surprised it wore so quickly.

@roachman That part of a go-kart tire isn't meant to ever touch asphalt, so the fact they lasted a year actually seems pretty good. If you drove your car on a near-flat tire, you'd see the same result long before a year was up.

Maybe someday Future Motion will have a tire designed specifically for the Onewheel and it'll be a bit more curved and have more protection on it for people who prefer riding with lower psi.

What is the mileage on it?
