Solid Tire for Xiaomi m365 Electric Scooter Mijia Mi m365 pro/gotrax gxl V2/gotrax XR, 8.5 inches Electric Scooter Wheels 8 1/2'' Front or Rear Replacement Honeycomb Solid Tires(1pc)

I recently purchased these Solid Tires for my Xiaomi m365 and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The tires are of high quality and have greatly improved the performance of my scooter.One thing to note is that I actually used these tires on my Gotrax GXL and replacing the old tires was quite difficult, but it was possible with the provided tools. It was definitely a bit of a challenge, but the end result was worth it.

This wheel is really not slippery, it holds well on the asphalt even if the road is wet, unlike other models, using which I once fell hard while driving on a wet section of the road.

I wish I could rate 3.5 stars, if you don't want to spend 5 minutes reading my review I will Tl;Dr it here:Install 2/5Quality 4/5Durability 5/5-----------------------My experience with these tires: Installation for this is difficult, that is an understatement. I installed three sets of these on all the scooters owned by myself and my roommates, and it was awful. With that out of the way let me say that they do work, and the scooters feel like they carry more torque then with air tires.Pros:Tires cannot go flatTires are solid and durableTires hold up and look decentCons:Bumpier ride than with air tires (that is to be expected though)Slightly worse corneringThe red striping is very easy to destroy when installing theseThe installation process is nightmarishThe disassembly of some of the scooters on the market is a hassleScooters I installed this on : GoTrax GXL V2 and the GoTrax APEXNotes about installation:Installing these on the GXL V2 was not the hardest, but it requires a lot of strength.REMOVE YOUR BRAKE ROTOR BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL the tires, you will thank me for this later.I boiled the tires in water for 5 minutes before attempting the installation, if you skip this, it is nearly impossible to install at all. Be prepared to have your sailor mouth ready and don't install this with loved ones or children present since it is tempting to be mad when handling a scalding hot tire on a metal rim that feels like it shouldn't fit.Installation on the GoTrax APEX, horrible experience. The replacement process is miserable and can permanently damage your scooter. GoTrax has a malicious design on the APEX, plastic welding the reflector onto the scooter over the screw hole needed to remove your tire. I used a heatgun to soften the plastic reflector cap, being careful not to destroy it. If you are anything like me, you will look online for an installation tutorial, and you will see someone chisel it off with a screwdriver, I was able to reuse mine because of the heat gun method I tried. You can see where I reglued it onto the frame in my first picture attached, if you don't look for it, it is not too bad, not the tire company's fault. After all is said and done, I am glad I never have to deal with replacing the tires on these scooters again.

I had to replace the Mi 365's front tire previously and I always dreaded it because it always takes elbow grease and sweats over 30-60 minutes with some microwaving involved. I exhausted the first 2 free tubes that came with the original scooter (they lasted 4 years since 2018). I decided to give this a try, and if I failed, I would pick up a new scooter since it gave me a good 4-year run and return for my daily work commute (saved over 5K of parking fee). It took me over an hour, microwaving, nearly giving up, and popped in on the last try, and voila! Now my scooter runs like new again...

Nice

Real great tire

The tire is much smaller than they say. It is 8 inches not 8 1/2 inches way too small for my scooter. The inner diameter does not even fit the wheel. I wouldn’t mind except for I have to go to a drop off to return it.

Not bad at all. A little bit of a challenge to get on, but not impossible with a little bit of elbow grease and if you put them in hot water like the instructions suggest. You really do feel everything in the road with these, but that's solid tires for you. Don't see how you could go wrong here, great tires!
