URBAN TREADS 6 Inch Tyre measures 3.75x 1.75x 6.5 Inch or 165x 45mm with 3.75 inch Rim & fits all 3.75 inch Hubs - BLACK

Produced at the INNOVA Factory, TRAMPA's own 3.75x 2x 6.5 Inch or 165x 45mm Super Low profile URBAN TREADS tyres have been specifically designed to fit TRAMPA's incredibly strong & sexy range of 3.75 Inch hubs. 

We wanted to radically change the rough ride experience of that when riding with regular style longboard wheels, even the super-soft GUMMIES tyres can feel harsh when riding on not so smooth surfaces such as when riding in Urban/City environments.... We all know the pavements & roads are far from a perfect surface so much so that sometimes its almost impossible to ride regular Longboard wheels, some of the pot holes around me are terrible but with these URBAN TREADS tyres fitted you can smash through all the imperfections whilst still enjoying that small wheel fast turn feel... 

TRAMPA's 6.5 Inch URBAN TREADS tyres are arguably the Premium Tyre choice when it comes to requiring lots of grip from Small sized wheels. Produced with whats known as a 'High TPI casing' the rubber compound used is 'super soft & very Grippy'. TPI means Threads Per inch & the URBAN TREADS tyre, being premium, uses thousands of very fine threads per Inch in its construction to stitch between the 'outer lightweight nylon Rims', the length of the threads in turn gives the wide construction shape to the tyre... having a High TPI means the tyre's construction is incredibly strong whilst still very supple, like a posh bicycle tyre. 

Having a High TPI & using hefty amounts of thick Motorcycle rubber means not only is the construction of the tyre incredibly strong but it will also wear incredibly well too. This extra strength in turn allows the tyre to be run at both, incredibly low tyre pressure or should the circumstances require (such as a skate park where you need to pump hard) inflated to being incredibly hard, the URBAN TREADS tyres can easily handle our factory set limit of 65psi. We have herd of some of the crazy Lab Rats we use (i mean TRAMPA team riders) are inflating URBAN TREADS over 100psi (i dont think their pump will allow them to get any more air in haha) & with currently no problems to report... But for sure, if one pop's at 100psi it will certainly make one hell of a noise!! BANG!!​ haha! :-)

Riding on such a small sized tyre gives the most radical performance change to literally every board in the TRAMPA range. There is no doubt the tyre was developed specifically for the URBAN CARVER BOARD & more in particular the ELECTRIC URBAN CARVE BOARD where both products use a smaller deck & the smaller sized Mini Spring Trucks system,  the smaller board needed a slightly smaller tyre than that of the full sized 8 inch ATB decks to compliment the overall product size, so in true TRAMPA style we made the URBAN TREADS Tyre special for that application but since then we have found over these last cold wet winter months that the 6.5 inch URBAN TREADS tyres have also become the choice tyre for Mountainboards who are maintaining their riding skills in the out of season period by riding in indoor Parks or Tracks, just ask Sonnie - TRAMPA Pro Team rider, who has literally not stopped riding indoor skate parks to retain his fitness through the winter since the release of these new tyres...

TRAMPA's Electric boards have amazing performance with a top speed of over 60kmph achievable on all models. When your hitting high speeds like this you need good tyres on your board. Thankfully the URBAN CARVE range of decks are fitted with super sexy 6.5 inch URBAN TREADS Tyres connected to 62 Tooth Pulleys as standard. The reinforced, low profiled, wide center beaded with intelligently designed jagged edge around the side can be run on low inflation pressure which gives enough grip to cut muddy corners or nip down hard packed off road tracks no problem, but can also handle the super inflation for straight line flat out speed. If you wish to ride full speed we 1stly suggest you turn the SPRING ADJUSTERS clockwise to tighten the steering resistance, pre-loading more tension into your springs before you wish to hit high speeds will prevent potential wobble, and if you re beginning to feel a bit of wobble, then you should move the springs to the outside position before attempting to go any faster. If you still feel speed wobble when the springs are in the outside position, then you should then further add the TRAMPA DAMPA's to add even more steering resistance to enable you to be able to go even faster :-)

The Urban Tread tyre doesn't only handle high speeds easily but riding around town where you are likely to be bashing up & down curbs & dealing with cracks in the road or potholes, then you should be riding at much lower inflation pressures. The lower pressure gives so much comfort on the rougher stuff but of course does increase Drag making it harder for your batteries to perform well...
