I've found the same issue at certain stations.
I've tried everything to keep it from blowing out during fill
Some places seem like the valve in the pump handle is either old
And worn out or set for a higher volume flow rate.
Here the shell station seems to be my best bet, the liquid
refined dinosaur comes out so slow it doesn't even become aerated.
Best way on those crap pump handles is short quick bursts and don't top it off all the way.

Thanks for the input .
I stopped by a local scooter shop where they wanted 68 bucks
For a no name tire, I can get two name brand off the net for 70
I stopped because I do try to spend my money local but got a sketchy vibe
And overall state of the shop was meh.

My current front one has a little bit of a hop but mainly want something to stick to the road when taking corners at speed.
Didn't expect the higher end name brand ones to have any issues being true or round.
Thanks for the input

Thanks for the reply.
I was looking at a few and those were one set I've considered.
Sticky is what I'm looking for because I like to drag my kickstand
Occasionally, other thing I'm looking for is little roll resistance.
The stock tires resemble the kenda duel purpose, which
Roll like a dirt bike tire.
As for the beads I've never heard of them.
I was planning on getting mine balanced at the cycle shop.

Who has replaced their tires, what did you buy and how do you rate them?
And go.......

Figured I would reuse my thread and lump all my questions and to ease my searches, reference material and not make 100 different ones.
