How hard would it be to order up a new pair of hubs and have better/wider rims installed? Is there anything about the spoke pattern that is specific to Chinese bikes? That way you have stock tires for road/light trail use and serious offroad tires as well, i.e. DOT-approved knobbies.
Or, plan B, when the stock tires need replacing, just ditch the stock rims and get wider high-quality 21" and 18" ones laced up.

I already ordered the AX41 tires a couple days ago and they're on the way. I guess I'll find out. |

I did a good amount of research before buying mine. I remember seeing some comments about the tire size, but no one I saw talked about the real problem being how skinny the wheels are. If they had used 2.15" wide front and 2.5" rear rims, which are standard for the tire sizes it uses, then it would be very easy to find common tire sizes that are close to the original size and would work fine on the rim. |

A41's or ax41's? The a41's are trash, the ax41 looks OK. The 41's were linked in a earlier post. The rear a41 does better than I anticipated, it spins a lot but still keeps moving, the front is worthless off road. If it's dry hard packed dirt /gravle it's usable, but if it's wet at all you are left to steer with the rear because it will just push or washout the front. Might be better on a lighter bike but I doubt by much.

I ordered the AX41, not the A41. I chose the AX41 based on good reviews that say it works well on and off road but has short treadlife. I'm OK with short treadlife as I won't put that many miles on. |
