[Review] KHE Tyres
   by glaiduss | 17 Jul 2007 9:32 pm

Ok well I'm still crippled and I thought Id write a review. I don't think anyone has reviewed these yet, but it is a very contraversial tire so here is my opinion.


I got myself a set of KHE park tires off dans. I used them once, and have now sold them to my mate for the same price i bought them for. I know it wasn't a month but in one day I knew these had to go.


When I first opened them out of the packet, f*** these tyres are THIN. I mean thinner then paper(but I was aware of that when buying them). But jesus they are light, both of these tires put together were less then my rear tyre alone. You can really notice the difference in weight.
The also thing I said, "where the f*** is the tread?" I mean, these tires have about 1mm deep of tread(compared to others which have like 3mm)

These tyres are super easy to install, on and off with hands in seconds, no worries. They also pumped up to 120psi.

So I took these to the park. They were the 2.1 version so I was hoping for grip. These really are so easy to ride, doing a 360 feels like there is no bike under you, and makes spinning very fast. I was very happy. But having such light tires make things feel very sketchy I think.
These tyres have little grip IMO. I ran DJ tires for park for ages, and they had more grip on the concrete then these. They also squeak shit loads which is annoying to me, but other may like it. They are shit for foot grip as well, makes it very hard for that sort of stuff.
I also found they don't corner to well (like on flat), this may be due to the shape of the roundness of the tyre.

As I rode home not very impressed with my new tyres, I got a flat from a small rock that wasn't even sharp enough to leave a scratch on my skin. If you as much case anything I'm sure these tyres would rip.


Pros:
Light
Easy to install
Look sick

Cons:
Little tread
Flats
No grip
Bad shape
Not as wide as other 2.1 tires
Very expensive

I give these 4/10, but I'm sure other will love these tyres.

I know there are lovers and haters of these tyres, leave your opinions here if you want. I personally dont think these perform aswell as the hype, or as well as tires 1/4 of the price.
