SO a while back, I ordered these solid tires for the xiaomi scooter because I just KNEW there were going to be flats. Fate did not disappoint. I got a flat tire very soon. I have heard much on the forums and youtube that the stock air tires were not very durable. And now that they have arrived, I just can't wait to try them out!
They are kind of "hollow" with the holes cut out from the tires. I believe this was to save weight because these solid tires, even with their hollowed out design, were still extremely tough and solid. I don't think they will help with damping and suspension.
The tread looks very cool, too. The rubber quality is very good; they feel like premium bicycle tires.
However, these tires are quite a bit smaller than the stock tires. As you can see, they are about 21cm instead of 8.5 inches like the stock ones. I asked my mechanic to install them but they simply could not get them on my scooter even after warming them up in the oven or boiling them. At this moment I cannot comment on their rideability, unfortunately.
I have ordered another set of solid tires which are guaranteed to have an easier install. I will update when I receive them!
