Answer Carve tires
« on: January 21, 2017, 06:05:03 PM »
Flatland specific tires are getting rarer every passing year. The selection is very small.

Luckly in the past few years lots of new race tires have come out. And these new race tires resemble more a flatland tire than your traditional knobby Comp3.

One of the lastest is the Answer Carve tire. 100 psi rating, light weight, smooth centerline, micro knurled sides for grip, 1.6" and 1.85" sizes.

Thank you for sharing this! I completely agree, there only a few options on the market, at least around 1.6". So this is good to know...
