Onewheel GT Treaded or Slick?
Рет қаралды 24,325
Күн бұрынNot sure which Onewheel GT tire you should get? Adam goes over some basic level pros and cons of both the Slick and Treaded tire to help you decide.
The Onewheel GT Slick tire is a pavement shredder. The custom made profile has a flat surface patch for straight line stability and rounded edges for deep carving and high level handling. The firm tire compound delivers high performance longer than any other tire out there.
The Onewheel GT Treaded tire is a trail monster. The custom made profile has a flat surface patch for straight line stability and rounded edges for deep carving and high level handling. The tread pattern is designed for maximum grip and traction in off-road riding environments. The firm tire compound delivers high performance longer than any other tire out there.

the problem with slick tire on XR was the penetration / perforation -- every single gravel or granite pebble has the potential to make another tiny hole into your tire. My XR slick tire after 2kkm started losing pressure with every ride, until I added some new slime into it. Which revealed how perforated the tire really was -- it had about 40-50 tiny slime pools all over the tire (yes, it did fix some of the losing pressure so rapidly problem, but now it's like permanently oozing the slime out of tire.). I assume you never have such problem with shredded tire.

I live in WI, treaded tire on the XR really helps in the winter. Helps a bit on ice but better to just avoid it, worst part of riding midwest winters is the salt, that stuff will rust your rails and bearings and it gets everywhere, pain in the ass to clean. Gets between the pads, rails and electrical boxes, but good luck keeping me off my board for 4 months!

@@JoeCaparo I could see mine so I did not use this trick. However it should work fine. I’d suggest getting something flat like a ruler. Set the board upright headlight facing the sky, then with one hand hold the ruler horizontal pushed up against the bumper and as close as possible to the tire where you can still spin it with the other hand. Start spinning the wheel slowly. Look VERY closely while holding the ruler still and spinning to see if the lumped portion of your tire rubs against the ruler. Then you know exactly where the lump is and where to burn down a bit. Mine was on the left side of my tire so I did a normal burnout for like 3 seconds to get the entire tire warm; then angled it to the left side to wear down the uneven section. I believe I did a total of 3 burnouts. Never did it for more than 8 seconds at a time. Side note-Just hold the front footpad with both hands while off the board to force a burnout

Anyone have experience with both on the GT? What profile do you ride off-road? I’m a slick tire owner here with about 100 miles on the tire now. It has softened up and feels nice on road. But still wondering if I should switch to treaded for off-road when I take the board camping with me? 🤔 it is a little slippery at times. Maybe I should switch to lower torque profile first?
@KaelanRios 2 жыл бұрын
I've been riding the GT around town for a couple weeks now, and have the treaded tire fitted on purpose so that I can switch back and forth between terrains confidently. To me, the slick tire is for people who want to ride the OneWheel for a hobby alone; they know what kinds of trails, what PSI, blah blah blah, that they want to use the OneWheel at. If you want to ride the OneWheel as a versatile piece of transportation AND as a hobby, the treaded tire reduces slip from both loose terrain AND WET ROADS, since the water actually has a way to escape, and won't cause hydroplaning like the slick tire. So probably look into the treaded tire regardless, and reap the benefits on both terrains.
