I was pleased to get the tire from KHE as a prize from the online battle. Once Ondo mentioned it was a white tire, I was still excited to get a tire non the less. I thought maybe they found a better compound for white rubber.
Nope.
The tire lasted me 5 weeks before it blew. Not from a running over anything. Heres the photos. Im sure everyone knows never to buy a white tire due to the rubber compound. I thought this was worth sharing.

seems like the tire is meant for those who only ride on one wheel and need the other only to roll on the ground between tricks :rolleyes:
-
Word to that one. Kataro Tanaka could get away with the white one on the front definitely!

Try emailing KHE and ask for a black replacement tire. -_-

Then the same would happen if he get another white one..
I've had this white version too, not 5 weeks but 2 months, and had big holes in it..
Now I've been riding the black mac 1's and in 3 years I've had 6 tires.. ( 2 tires a year)

will khe replace my car tires?
since sh*t should last forever in the eyes of flatlanders
-
dude after every session i scrape off the skidmarks from the ground and collect it, my tires last forever.
and those tires seem to suck. if they last for you either you don't spin or your floor generates rubber for the tires.

Funny sh*t. ;D :beer:
-
The black ones last for a while. Like others, I would go 6-7 months without having to get a tire replaced.
I can understand why KHE gave these way. no one in their right mind would pay money for these. The Primo V-monsters in white (years back) had the same problem. In fact so did the grey ones.
-
well better for them to be given away rather than stay on the market :rolleyes:
-
5 weeks? thats considered good for KHE tires lmao
-
Yeah, 5 weeks seems a long time to me........ my black KHE's only last 2 weeks.
-
i dont see color but if you say that tire is white, i believe you
-
good post; as I've never had white tires I didn't realize they wore out faster than black ones. the more you know...
-
I also didn't know this. but f*ck i buyed two white suelo tires so now i know why the first one weared out so fast.
-

exactly, my black ones lasted me 3 sessions. riding on asphalt afcourse.
-
Whoooops! sorry Fur! I think I'm blind... lol! ^_^
-
the white color is achieved via cotton candy compound?

Exactly- sticky, doesn't last long, you feel a bit sick afterward and regret having spent the money. Haha.

I've had white Suelos (not kevlar) for 3 months now and no problems, nor are they very worn and I ride quite a bit on lots of diff surfaces. My friend Billy has a black Suelo tire he got about the same time as mine and it looks like his is in the same shape as mine. I used to have white Primo Walls awhile back and those beasts lasted as long time, too. Not all whites are equal.
EDIT: Like y'all are saying, tire wear depends a lot on how advanced a rider you are and/or how much spinning you do. Spinning on rough surfaces really seems to wear a tire out the most. Billy and I aren't doing that much crazy stuff yet, we're still basically at the beginner stage. Alexis the expert will tear through a tire lickety-split.
Never rode KHEs but it seems like the verdict is that they're way too sensitive and dainty for asphalt. More suitable for smooth floors, and even then they're still very temperamental.
