My current scooter came with tires that are like a hybrid between road and off-road tires. They have all the benefits of road tires but are also pretty good off-road because of the raised treads it has but does not wear on street riding like off road tires do.

I'm convinced people only like off-road tires because it makes the scooter sound cool, more like a motorcycle on the road.

My first scooter had offroad tires and I loved the sound🤪. On my present scooter I always ran road tires and it was waaaaay different -> no noise, lot smoother, more efficient(maybe, couldn’t tell a difference efficiency wise), but now I have a flat tire and I purchased some offroad tires again! Just because the sound they make is soooooo cool 😎!!!

On my Inokim Ox, I started with the 2.5 x 10 road tires, but in even slightly wet conditions, the scooter would often slide sideways. Hell, even in dry conditions, slow speed turns would sometimes cause it to slide. I switched over the 3.0 x 10 hybrid all-terrain tires, and not once did the scooter slide, even in very wet conditions. I always assumed that the studs were helping to keep it upright, and I even managed to recover from slides many times. These types of tires have very thick studs, but they're places close together so the overall pressure and wear is more evenly spread. Then, I got the Vsett 10+ which has 3.0 x 10 road tires fitted as standard. Despite the higher speeds and its desire to keep pulling, it feels much more stable. Evidently, the studs may not have had an effect on stability at all, and having the wider tire was what was keeping me upright more of the time. The main benefit I did find with hybrid all-terrain tires was puncture reduction. The road tires on the Inokim were notorious for punctures even when inflated properly and when using tube slime. It wasn't caused by pinching, but by debris. I've not had a puncture on the Vsett yet, but I've got some hybrid tires lined up just in case. Acceleration on hybrid tires is slower than road tires, and there's more vibration and slightly lower top speed, but maybe those trade-offs are worth it for puncture reduction. Full offroad tires aren't something I'd find a use for, but they're really not optimised for riding on tarmac. They'll certainly do the job, but less effectively than the other options.

Glad I waited to comment. most people wouldn't have mentioned that off road tires wear and heat up and at high speeds have led to tire failure and injury. I would have recommended off road for off road and road for road. if needing to be on paved roads or trails then a SHORT distance is fine with off road tires. but the cost is also something to consider as well as strain on motors from the off road tire use on roads. Still a great video, what has been stated by you is infarct factual and can be proven, unlike some videos where people just tell us what the manufacture says and claims or use their own opinion as fact when they have no actual backing to what they say. This is why I subbed, You have provided factual information. Cheers mate!!!!!

Wonderful video sir, as always. My Zero 11X came with road tires and they performed surprisingly well off-road. If anyone wants to get the Zero 11X, heed my warning: Although the rims split, it is IMPOSIBLE to remove them the classic way like on the Zero 10X. You have two ways of removing them: 1. Unplug the motor wire from the deck (must open the deck). 2. Cut the wire and solder plug-and-play car connectors over which you apply thermo contractible insulation tape. I found the second one to be more efficient. Hope that helped someone. I nearly died changing the back tire after a puncture. Trust me, it took a whole new level of desperation to cut the motor cable on my brand new 3500 euros scooter. But it works, it's waterproof and it does not overheat so...thumbs up? :D

As always, so informative. Doing the PEV community a great service 👍

So you answer all question i have think off ....thanks man!! Your video is amazing!

Excellent video. Comparison between the two tire types and some footage of both, described which use cases are good for each type of tire, and went over the wear and tear on each type vs the terrain they’re used on. Just how it should be! Keep it up.

I think we mostly need tires with one continuous strip in the center and knobby on the sides for mud or snowy conditions

I'm the only one that loves offroad tyres sound? Great video as always🤙🏻

I have both sets for my zero 10x. I do like the off road tires for the hum they put out in alerting ppl ahead of me where as the road tires are so quite.But if your into top speed then the road tires are the best choice.drag is minimal and cornering is far more positive feeling.I have only road tires for my Weped SST

I got put On Off Road Tyres on my Ninebot max G 30 and it Sounds so Wonderfull for now! I Love This Sounds when iam Crusing with it at 44 kp/H (Tuned Scooter)

Great timing for this video, the PMT 100/55-6.5's I ordered came in today :D I haven't mounted them yet but even the rubber feels better than the rubber of my stock off road tyres.

Perfect video man, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I agree with you! I have the Zero 8X (as ive said before if you remember) and it has solid road tyres. I drive it like 50/50 on tarmac and gravel and even though there is no air in the tyres I havnt had any issues on gravel and its silky smooth on tarmac. The sound from your offroad tyres reminds me of F1-cars when you get the "on board" camera view :)

I love the off-road tire sound on pavement! Makes you sound more aggressive when pulling up on cars on the road and in general.💪🏽😈 I guess I’ll be switching my off-road tires out every 500 miles🤷🏽‍♂️😃

Can you make or recommend a video where they show how to change out the tires on the Kaabo Wolf Warrior ll please?....

I been trying to run down my off road tires for 600 miles now. They don't give up. Got a nice new set of road tires just waiting to go to work.

You could expand on using diffrent tire pressures on offroad terrain, and how it can make a difference

awesome video. You get better each time. Hey did you notice a speed increase on road with street tires?

Hybrid tires are where its at for scooters tbh.

Thanks bro, u pretty much said what I was thinking about road tyres being fine for off road too so yea, road tyres it is. U probably saved me a bit of money on tyres wiv ur video. 🤘🏼😜👍🏼

I know you can get a softer ride on pavement with the road tires, but I totally love the badass look and hum sound off-road tires make. I don't ride my scoots daily so I should get a little bit of longevity out of my off-road tires. I think I probably will keep my off-road tires on my scooter for now.

I ride my WW over 50% off road. Thank God I have the Off Road Tires! My Zero 10X has on road tires and maybe if it had off road rubber than I would not curse at it all the time. I do remember riding her in Center City Philly last summer and loving every minute of it. This is it’s environment I thought to myself. The soft suspension are up all of the nasty city streets with ease and I saw the 10X in a new light. I still say to anyone who owns a 10X; Put a Steering Damper on that wobbly front end or you are going to meet God up close and personal if you go over 25 mph at all on occasion. That front end needs all the stability and help it can get!

You’re not lying about changing those tires. I did it for the first time. Took me over an hour. I was about ready to throw the scooter away. I had all the tools to take it off too. My friend works at a tire shop he told me to buy tire lube. So I bought some. Getting the beed to set I struggled with a little. Tomorrow I’m doing the front tire with it. So will see the difference.

I have mantis 8 dual 500 motor. I have street tires. They offer plenty of fro off and on road for me, although my off-roading is extremely light

My son and I both have Nanrobot D6+ scooters, which came with offroad tires. My son loves the sound they make (somewhat like a race car). I recently changed my tired to street tires and prefer it - so much smoother, especially at low speeds (that said, I use my scooter almost exclusively on the street and bike paths/lanes).

I'm building a scooter with 13in tires . Maybe 18,000w -10,000w I really haven't decided yet? Can 13 in tires fit on your wolf? Larger diameter will go over more turf, and last more miles?

Always enjoy your vidoes!

This video was a huge help. I just assumed as a person who lives in the city and the only off-roading I would be doing is grassed parkland and some basic trails I needed the off-road tires bc its a Wolf Warrior and why would I get any else? Well I was dead wronggggg. Wolf Warrior with street tires is the correct setup for me. Thank you very very much.

changing tyre, put 3-4 small thin cargo straps with rachet, bought from pound/dollar store through the rim of the wheel/tyre tighten. i had the stock off roads that wore off quick, in bought a set off Canadian company about a year ago and they have hardly worn, i still have the road tyres that i was going to have used by now but these tyres have lasted much longer than expected. i got a police chase with the off roads on when it was raining and couldn't find much traction even with the off roads on. i find if you warm the tyres up they stick to the road better on bends and turns. all in all there is not a major difference love the sound too

Got a flat from a staple with my brand new e scooter has big knobs hit the sweet spot so now I’m waiting for the street tires to get here

Exactly what I was looking to learn about!

If you live in a place that rains a lot with wet roads, Off-road tires gives you more traction on road in terms of braking/stopping distance performance.

Great video bro appreciate it

I feel unsafe leaning too hard on curves with these off road tires. I think road tires will give me better curve traction for steeper leaning. Still waiting for them though...

I have the off road tires on my dual motor scooter and I really like it. I am when I can find a place near me that sells parts and repair.

I just found your channel and I love your content. I've been riding an Evolve Carbon GT for 3 years, and through your videos you've convinced me to up my game and get a scooter that rips..thanks! Keep up the great content!

How about the semi off road tyres?... I'm pondering a set of 10x3 Inch TUOVT Widened Pneumatic Semi off road for a VSETT 10+...

Just wanted to say thanks, for bought my warrior gt, with off road tires, becuase I previously had the emoove scooter with street tires, hit a small crack, and lost complete control of scooter. Didn't want to go through said experience again. But after seeing this video, I know I can order some street tires now, without worrying about getting killed...lol

Woo-hoo!

I live in NYC so for me it's a no-brainer = road tires; tubeless vacuum tires if possible.

Ginger, can you make a video about charging your scooters using a smart charger (example Cycle Satiator out of Canada). For what these top scooters cost, I would like to know the best (easiest) solution to maintaining long battery life. Most included chargers can't be limited to 80-90% state of charge.

Good stuff Ginger, very important info! I switch back and forth with tires now in this season I use offroad ones, damn I love how they sound on tarmac :D Like a WOLF!

How long does it take to change from Street to Offroad tires? Sounds like the process from some comments may be difficult but would about buying premounted wheel/tires so you have both?

I have a EVERCROSS H5 came stock with off road tires I ride on the street 10x2.70-6.5

148th in Bellevue near Microsoft. Nice riding!

If you're looking at the 10" tires, are the off-road tires 10" in diameter if you go from top of the knob to top of the knob? So basically if you wear down the knows enough, you basically have a 9.5 inch tire? Or does the 10" represent the base of the knob to base of the knob? Street tire is easier to decipher what the 10" diameter is..

The Nanrobot D6+ comes with off-road tires… Is there a reason for this? Is that strange? This is a very informative video.

Hello Rickydabarber. I made prob the worst mistake a consumer could probably make. I really didnt do much research before buying my scooter. I bought the roadrunner D4.4.0. Im in N.Y.C. My commute is only one mile. These streets are so bad all i could think about was the double "c" suspension. So i almost had to settle with the 2.0 instead of the 4.0. But i was so happy when they lowered the price "sale" 400.00 off. So i was so happy that i was able to afford the 4.0 instead of the 2.0. So i ordered. Im very happy with it. Ive read its the same shell as the nanrobot D4 3.0. But im not sure if every detail is the same for example sinewave controller. Not sure if nanorobot has that too. Anyways what would happen if i purchase rs5 1200 watt motors or switch the battery to a more powerful battery. Would i get more speed ive only got it to 37mph. And do u think if i buy road tires them italian ones, do u think i could squeeze out a little more speed. Maybe 3 mph. Or is that too much to ask for? From tire change. Thanks for u and your videos im learning a lot now.

hank you so much I have road one. but I will changed it for off road tire becase I been have a lot of flat tire on the back and never in front tire already orden it hybrid off road tire

Hello Ginger On Wheels - I am from Germany and would like to ask the name of the manufacturer of the off-road tires and what are the corresponding tire dimensions for a 13" rim - thank you very much !!!

Which are the most comfortable tires which are helping against these little shakes and shocks when riding over uneven ground? Thank you!

They have the hybrid style as well. Haven't seen anyone with them mounted.

I run a street tire on front and off road on the rear of my Yume y11+

I have a Arwibon Q30 can do a video of how to change out off road and road from start to finish with installation

Question- is there something to fill a rim of a tubeless tire? I use a Y10 Yume but if I hit a rock or something hard and the rim bents how can I prevent it from doing so. Foam or something to fill up outer layer of rim? If you look up the scooter just look at the motor hub rim it has little space between the tire and the motor.

hey, great vid, help a lot, cause i was about to swap my street tires for the off-road on my zero 10x, and i'll just keep the street 👍

Also shout out to the man that inspired me 👍🏻 for one of the most fun purchases I ever made. #Gingeronwheels

Thanks for your video. I ended up going with 3inch wide road tires. I loved the music in the background what's the aritist?

I bought a kugo g5 which was modified and had road wheels. Everyone told me that they are better than the stock ones (offroad). In my eye, it looks like offroad wheels make the scooter higher.. is this true?

So did everyone else have to cut and rewire the engine an controller wires to fit through the frame/rotor/bearings etc its looking like thats what i have to do and i'm wondering what connectors to use, i'm thinking wago ive got about 1000 miles on my oem parts and i want to change everything.

Did I understand correctly, - that the street tire has 3 times the lifespan?

Have managed to get about 2500km (~1550miles) (so far) out of my offroad tyres on the Wolf Warrior 11GT. Front tyre is still pretty good but the right side of the back tyre is gone. Like, whole side is missing all grip. Mostly road and gravel riding. That's with me being ~120kg/265lbs. Pretty much constantly running both wheel motors. Over here we are pretty heavily speed limited which probably makes a decent difference. Plan is to try the road tyres next (not keen on doing the actual swap).

What is that song playing during your tyre noise test? I like it

Hey brotha I just realized your in the pnw. I'm in vancouver

You have an amazing place to ride!

hey. quick question from a newb... just got an ix5 from iscooter (didn't want to invest much and needed the good autonomy that about 500€ could offer). conditions... i drive it only on asphalt and concrete. the concrete part is about 70% of the time... the way the concrete was poured it has some tall-ish ridges... just over 1 inch every about 20ft... also, i ride it mostly at night/early morning (dark), with temperatures of around 35-40 farenheit on rain. question time... the scooter came with off-road tyres. do you think i should change to road tyres or not?

How about HYBRID tires? Kaabo seems to be recommending them on the Mantis GT PRO KING for general use and NOT the street tire. In fact VOROMOTORS, one of their major distributors doesn't even carry it with street tires... Is this the new normal 2 yrs down the road...? Thanks

Ginger I have a question, I'm new to the e-scooter scene, I bought a d99 and I'm quite happy with it, it's a bit too heavy but very powerful. I do have a question about water, on the manual they say not to ride the scooter on water, but they don't say why... So it got me a bit worried, is it because of the driver safety for not to fall or is it because the scooter is not waterproof? I don't want to burn out my scooter.. The IP Rating is ipx5

Hey GOW! Great video and inspiring tutorial. Very interesting insight into both offroad vs road tires. Your favorite song, do you mind sharing the name or the artist? Thank you again, I own a D4+ with 740 miles on original offroad tires but I feel like NYC roads as bad as they may be do not do justice to offroad tires. I will try out 10 x 3.0 road tires to see if I feel a difference. Keep on rolling safely my good sir!

does off road tire make the scooter range last shorter than if you use road tire which will last longer range before having to charge the battery again??? FYI, I am 125lb guy.

Hello, looking at purchasing my first scooter. I plan to use it on my horse farm and at horse shows to reduce the amount of walking. Don’t need speed, don’t need high end, don’t need long distance, but want to be able ride on paved driveways, grass and importantly gravel. Haven’t been able to find any information about scooters and gravel. Also need to be able to lift it into a truck so preferably under 70lbs. Any help you could give I would appreciate.

Bro where did you get your mud fenders? I have an vsett 8 but I can't find decent mud guards who actually guards my scooter from mud. Hope you can help me

Should you have your tyre pumped rock hard or a little bit under the recommended psi? Tia

great video as always ginger! road tires it is then!!! me like longevity. lol :D

I have significant experience on a crotch rocket and a dirt bike on the road. While the knobby tires don’t offer the dry traction of road tires, they are more consistent through various surfaces. So make a list of surfaces you may encounter on the scooter. The road tires are going to be a 10/10 on the road and lets say the off-road tires are an 8/10. Then we have wet leaves, gravel, mud, dirt, grass, all kinds of stuff. The road tires might fair well on some of these surfaces, but occasionally you will have next to zero traction. You will hardly ever encounter a situation where you gave close to zero traction on off road tires. They are more consistent through the various surfaces and you are probably less likely to fall with them. I feel like traction consistency is far more important than max road grip when it comes to something as dangerous as our scooters. I’ve only had my off-road tires on, and I love carving on pavement, but I don’t think I’m going to switch them and increase the chances of falling.

i have a p1+ 2400w i have 2 of them i plan on putting off road ties on one and the other i have i want to try PMT ties am getting my suspension sorted out later this year or next then all will be good in the hood

Really wish someone near me had a wolf warrior so I could race one would be interesting to see

amazing video

Try road tire on front and off road tire on back - best choice!

thanks, just the perfect video I was looking for thinking of kaabo mantis v2 and want to go 3inch tires and was wondering which to choose.....think the City-Road one will be enough offroad for me, they are less road then the stock and look like will handle wet and light offroad better even the semi-offroad look too offroad for my needs, let alone the offroad ones

I actually like the sound the offroad tires make on the road, sounds like a F1 car lol

Hey wassup guys I usually buy street tires but I noticed within one month they always pop on me. I’m in nyc and I knew a few friends that use the off road and barley have pops like my. I know off road is meant for dirt and mud but do we think it makes a difference on pot holes or rolling over things in the street?

Isnt road tires more slippery in watery conditions than offroad tires?

Have you ever checked how good the magnest holding up inside the motor since you do a lot of off roading and ride in the rain. Some waterproof the rim and spray the magnets to avoid the rust.

Had the Nanrobot D4+2.0 which at stock had off road tires. They were so noisy which I think ruins some of the vibe with an electric scooter which is so clean and silent. I also never rode off road so they were pointless to me. Had road tires on my Mantis Pro and they were great and I felt more confident cornering with them versus the D4's off road tires.

Pretty interesting! Thank you!

I have had 2 flat tires on my apollo ghost in under 6 months i installed armordillos after the 1st flat but it made no difference. I'm thinking about getting offroad tires for my ghost cause maybe they won't get flats as much.

There are three different sorts of tyres. What about semi's ?

I have 1650 on my off-road tires. Most of that has been road. Front is a slick now. Time for some new tires😂

@ 9:21 are you sitting? Does this thing mount a chair? It sure looked like it but it was hard to tell.

Nice video

I ride mostly in the summer but i do ride in the snow as well, But i ride on the road more then off-road.

Ginger....what's up bro.... so what do the street tires look like when there ready to replace. And I dont drive nor ever owned a scooter. So I know this question might sound stupid. There are little grooves in the wolf's street tires so do I change when it gets smooth and even with the inside of the groove or past that? Thanks for helping all of us!!!!!

I love my off road tires going 26mph they sound awesome on cement

I wonder if on-road tires would add to the stability of my ultra 2 at high speeds? It seems like it doesn't handle as well as I think it should with the stock off-road tires that came on it.

i have the same phone holder and it's really good.

Cool video dude, now i know what escooter to buy. What do you think about the Laotie ti30? I know it's kinda the chinese ripoff of the wolf but still if i manage to open it and make some adjustments it should be a beast
