AoXin 90/65-6.5 XXLD Semi-Slick Road Tyre (tubeless, OSH) [TurboTread DynoSlick P6219]

• eScootNow tyre of the year 2023 award winner. A wider, lower profile XLDW 110/50-6.5 is also available which offers up to 3.8mm smaller radius.
• TurboTread - the signature original range of tyres by eScootNow presents DynoSlick: the performance road tyre for hard, mostly dry surfaces. Performs well in high-demand environments across cornering, braking and acceleration on predictable, dry blacktop.
• Key features:
  • Larger diameter (fits in Wolf Warrior 11/GT).
  • Rounded for excellent cornering response.
  • Good performance semi-slick tread.
  • Runs a nice low pressure for adhesion
  • Optional Self-healing liner available (OSH).
• This is a large oversized diameter race tyre (XXLD designation) to suit most 11" scooters that have relatively large clearances on 6.5" rim. This tyre has a outer diameter of approximately 285mm (11.2") which is 12mm larger than 90/65-6.5 factory road tyres from CST and Tuovt that are stock on tubeless Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11 / GT series and Nami Burn-e. Under inflation and rotation the diameter extends to approximately 300mm (11.8"), making it one of the largest tyres available for 6.5" rims.
• Suits:
  • Wolf Warrior 11/GT (including King and King GT) models will clear this tyre.
  • VSETT 11+
  • With tube (where clearance allows) can accommodate T11-DDM (Zero 11X, Dragon X11, Black Edition 11X) and possible VSETT 11+.
  • Suits Dragon Hurricane (front, but not rear due to clearance with factory shock).
  • Likely to support NAMI Burn-e, although results may vary amongst shock and callipers (stock callipers are OK as the tyre does not sit incredibly wide at calliper.
  • Would likely suit Dragon The Beast (most Beast hubs would not require tube) and on Dragon Lightning V2.(which requires repositioning of the angle of plastic rear Lightning V2 guard by enlarging hole on plastic fender to shift the angle of fender mount. This 90/65-6.5 has a slightly larger diameter than the stock Lightning V2 Tuovt 100/65-6.5 tyre, hence fender modification for width, rather than diameter..
• Smaller 11" makes/models that lack sufficient clearances for this oversized tyre with suspension, guards and callipers should consider 90/65-6.5 CST and Tuovt tyres or for more performance, the TurboTread DynoRoad SHM which is a 100/55-6.5, with a slightly smaller outer diameter than the CST and Tuovt - despite being a "100" wide will clear guards and callipers easily as it is less "square" than the CST and Tuovt.
• The optional factory-fitted self-healing liner (SH) version has a thick internal lining of sticky, tacky ("goo") that can assist seal punctures, also known as "puncture-proof" or "run flat". It has a higher viscosity than liquid sealants and typically will not run and damage hub alloy. SH is recommended if traversing terrain with sharp object debris, such as side of arterial roads or industrial areas. As an alternative for roadside puncture repair, plugs can be considered such as the Dynaplugger from Dynaplug Australia. With SH tyres, the liners add weight to the tyre and can impact balance. Balance can also be impacted if a liner is damaged in production, shipping or fitting. eSN recommends ensuring the liner is not disturbed in fitting and that the tyre once fitted is free-wheeled at high speed to allow centrifugal force to settle the liner before hitting the road. If you are not satisfied with the balance, remove the liner. If needing to fit to tubed hubs, do not use the non-self healing version.
• Semi-slick tread for the ultimate adhesion on hard dry surfaces with a light tread to reduce aquaplaning. Ideal for riders who mostly ride on dry surfaces, but on the occasion may be caught out and need to traverse wet surfaces.
• Nameplate tyre pressure of "36PSI Cold" with "For Racing Purposes Only - Not For Highway Use" which is a USA NHS DOT compliance marking. The inclusion of these sidewall markings suggest improved handling properties when at temperature and being a mostly slick tread will experience variation in operating pressures. You can run these at relatively low pressure which is great for off-road use.
• These tyres have a round footprint that is evenly curved similar to eScootNow TurboTread DynoRoad SHM and PMT tyres to provide consistent surface contact through cornering. Tyre has relatively narrow 68mm width at bead (which is larger than the 60mm on PMT 100/55-6.5). As a guide, stock CST 90/55-6.5 tyres have a width at bead of approximately 82mm.
• Typical observed weight 1200 grams which is identical to the DynoSlick 110/50-6.5 XLDW, and significantly heavier than the PMT Stradale 100/55-6.5 which weights approx 910 grams. The self-healing variant weights 1400 grams.
• These tyres are not a common tyre, sourced directly by eScootNow from the manufacturer (OEM factory AoXin P6219) and produced for Tianjin Wanda Tyre Group Co., Ltd. Typical stock has marking P6219-04 with Tianjin Wanda Tyre Group Co., Ltd, logo but no lettering of Tianjin Wanda Tyre Group Co., Ltd. Occasionally P6219-01 is provided which has Wanda lettering decal, like this tyre, also in 110/50-6.5 size (lower profile of 275mm vs 282mm on this tyre).

Note at speed the proximity of rear tyre may encroach the spring (when positioned as shown), therefore not recommended for the rear and spacing is also required on the rear stock fender. Further development is being undertaken at eSN on alternative spring and/or longer hook washers throughout H1 2024.

The front hole in plastic fender is re-centred by a boring a larger hole that extends lower, allowing TW9 and TW10 gaskets to be fitted in the plastic hole to-recenter so that the front end sits "higher" to clear the tyre.
