Rear Tire ???

[A1A]

Curious how you get your fingers between belt pulley and rear tire rim? To air up the rear tire? I was wondering are both front and tires tubeless?

Thanks in advance

Yes, they are tubeless tires.

Yes, they are tubeless tires.

Thank you Nancystoy.

Is there a special way to air up that big rear tire?

It can be tricky. I just use a normal air hose and chuck, but I have to hold it by the hose, not the nozzle. I use a stick type gauge instead of the gauge in the kit. A couple of well chosen cuss words generally are of great benefit. They don't help air the tire, but they make you feel better.

I got 12,000 miles out of my first tire and went with another Kenda oem tire. This time I am only running 24 psi in it cold because my first tire like yours and I think everyone else wore in the center. There was lots of tread on the edges. I talked to two guys who have run lower rear tire pressures and theirs wore even so I am trying it out. I did check my pressure after a ride on a hot day and it did increase to 27 psi from 24 psi which is a normal increase so if under inflated it would have over heated more then the 10% that is normal. Good luck.

The Kenda tends to wear in the middle because it is only 2 ply in the tread and it has trouble holding the tread flat at freeway speeds, especially if you're running much over 26 pounds of air.

I run 30 psi in my Toyo Proxy and it has worn flat and even all the way across. I got about 13k out of my stock tire. I've got about 17k on my Proxy and it's just not getting down to the wear bars. I went way past the wear bars on my Kenda.
