[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1429636, member: 257"] Unrelated beyond it being tires and "off road" vs "street" and my recent personal experiences. New ebicycle came with aggressive knobbies (pic 1). 2 events, in quick succession learned me [SIC] that I ain't got good sense [pic 2). :( Switched to more street-oriented tread (pic 3) and that extra street grip (contact patch and composition) seems to have mitigated 1 threepeat. I'd have disliked the learning experience more if the bike was 600+# heavier and the speed was more than 30 mph. So more of an observation about contact patches between dirt and street tread. The dirt tread (although softer compound) was like riding on snot when pavement got wet/damp. [ATTACH]124._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]125._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]126._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
