I love this tire! Handles great on pavement and just as well off road. Have been looking to upgrade the stock Vega for a while and this tire does not disappoint. The smaller size and curve of the tire does cause a light wobble factor to kick in at higher speeds (for me at least) but I'm sure that's because I'm new to the tire and used to riding the flat Vega. My point, great tire! Better, tighter curves and is butter smooth off road.

After only riding slicks this is my first treaded. This tire feels great over all off-road and on pavement and isn’t too loud at all. But for some reason it gives the board trouble specifically in steep medium holes on pavement.

This 5.5 loves to carve like no tire you have ridden before! I think it feels the same as a Pint or Pint X or even easier to turn. Higher speeds are now more of a challenge but this board lives in the woods so we will see if I can carve around rocks and roots easier now. I work at a registered One wheel dealer with many people riding my personal board on a daily basis and every one agrees it LOVES to carve! Once this tire is finished off I will try the 6-6 to see if its more of a meet in the middle sort of tire so that higher speed street rides will be easier.

My new tire from CnR is just how it was described. Arrived fast and no hassles. God bless America!

I'm one of the unusual riders who actually enjoyed my vega. This tire is fun and agile, but it does not like to be aggressively rocked side to side on the street so rail-to-rail turns need a tiny pause in between. It can become unstable under high side loading. It makes sense with the Vega being a kart tire the thick walls are made for extreme back and forth maneuvers at high speeds. This tire doesn't have that rigidity which makes it maneuverable, but in my experience less predictable when you really push it.

That being said I really love how quiet it is and the soft rubber offers a really smooth ride even though it is treaded. It can handle some pretty aggressive high speed carving. The smaller width also allows really tight low speed turns which is pretty fun.

I bought the Hoosier for my OG pint first and then my XR. Tread is a little different for both but changes the Onewheel game compared to stock tires.Just do it, Pretty much what everyone else said. Changes everything about the ride. This is what floating really feels like. Thank you so much Nick and everyone at Craft&Ride for great customer service and making us feel like we are more than just a customer. I have rode motorcycles for year. And work in the Powersport industry till this day and have never had better customer service than Craft&Ride. You guys are killing it.

I researched tires a lot before settling on this one. I ride more pavement than trail, but was bored of the rolling-pin riding of the stock Vega. I chose the Hoosier treaded 5.5” for 4 things: the low weight (less than the stock Vega, a rarity for treaded tires) which should cost me less range than heavier tires; having treads, which I wanted to try for the first time; the round “squirrelly” ride reputation of this tire; and C&R having it in stock.

With a little under 100km on the tire since purchase, I’m happy on all fronts. The tire shape encourages carves with its sloping shoulders, and makes the ride feel even more one-with-the-terrain. Ride with the squirrels!
