Tire Comparison of Kenda K262, Shinko 241 and Michelin Pilot Street 2 for EUC and Leaperkim Lynx
Choosing the right tire vastly changes the handling of your electric unicycle. I test and discuss the merits of three tyres for the Lynx EUC. Plus the differences and considerations between different EUC brands.
*Tested Tyres:*
Michelin Pilot Street 2 80/90-14
Shinko 241 2.75-14
Kenda K262 2.75-14 (stock on the lynx)
