hey all,
i bought brand new KHE MAC 2 tires (2.125s)and after about 5 rides and 2 flat tires , they are already warped..
the tires blew out at approx 90-100 psi, the tires are 120psi max, and when i spin the wheel, the tires moves up and down and side to side.
anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? thanks
edit: they're foldables***

more likely than not the blow outs are coz of crap tubes

the "warping" is an easy fix, put like 15psi in ur tyre, take the wheel off ur bike and bounce it around while spinning it. this evens it out and gets rid of the eggs.

bad tubes make sense, but i align the bead every time i put on new tires, so i dont think thats where the wobbles are commin from, err like maybe the bead comes loose?

aligning does bugger all lol
seriously just put the tyre on, a bit of pressure in it and give it a bounce and ya problems sorted

One the tube explodes on the tier your tires done.
it will just keep on exploding.
I found after you take your tire off a bunch of times,
then it starts to explode.
thats why imo foldables aren't worth it...

Speaking of foldables...anyone ever have problems with Fit folding tires blowing out? My buddy wants to pick some of those up and run them.

Maybe due to heat? My friend had one down the park, it was a hot day, all of a sudden, BANG!.
Best tyres to buy i would say are Maxxis Grifter, Maxxis DTH (Both foldable, both £20)
I would never fork out for KHE tyres, there overpriced, I would compare them to profile hubs, Alot of money, and Alot of headaches.

Why dont you just go get some of the Ody tires like you have pictured in your avatar?
Get the Ody klyte foldables if your worried about weight... don't buy that KHE junk!
