RadRover 6 Maxxis Hookworm 2.5 tires

[Bradwrench]

I wanted more street focused and efficient tires for the Rover 6 and read these would work. Couldn't find much feedback from owners who had done this so I thought I'd report on my experience. We ordered the 26x2.5 Hookworms & Sunlite 26 x 2.35-2.75 tubes. Install went smoothly, just inflated slowly and massaged the bead. These tires weigh half as much as the original Kenda Juggernauts, 2lbs vs 4lbs, each. Much quieter and less rolling resistance as well. Thickness seems to be the same for both models.
