Strong construction good for tires

Boston commuter tires are an important safety factor. An apartment on the street is not an option. These tires are fat and grip the road. Combined with anti-puncture hoses, it's a great addition to my safe commute to work. I'll add that if you're considering folding them, you may need to file down the chainstays to make room for the wider tire, which I had to do since my frame design is narrow. The tires are rated for 110psi and you have to use that.

Pros
  • Few competitors

Solid tires but difficult to fit

I bought these tires to replace my Kenda Quest which has had a flat tire 5 times in 6 months. Hookworms are so tough and thick that they come in a giant box because they don't fold. These are strong, durable tires. Which brings me to my next point: the stiffness makes these tires HARD to mount. It took me over an hour to put them on properly. If you have small hands or are short on time, just take them to your local bike shop.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Expensive

The perfect Electrathoner tire, the perfect Electric Edgerunner rear tire.

Can't say enough good things about the grip and durability of this tire. While the other tires I've used slipped through the wet streets of Seattle, this one never came off the wet cobblestones we have here. Plus, with a max pressure of 125psi, it's tough enough to support 400 pounds on my Edgerunner rear wheel. I haven't been able to destroy any of these hookworms yet, but I'll definitely try. The buyer should be aware that all this splendor comes at the expense of a plush and soft ride. I air

Long lasting high pressure tire

I have used the "Primo" "The Wall" tire for over a decade for its durability. Although Ankylostoma has been around for a long time, I only tried it now because of the low price. I've been rocking it for a few months now with little wear and no issues. The big plus of this tire is the ability to spin this sucker at up to 110psi. If you're not interested in pressures over 85psi, it's really a toss up between Hookworm and The Wall; I'm sticking with what's been around for a while and don't mind…

Pros
  • One year test
Cons
  • Frequency

Great high pressure tire

I built an electric BMX bike but the stock tires wouldn't hold my 200+ lbs without looking almost flat. They can currently be inflated to a maximum pressure of 110psi. I have them at 90psi and I feel like I can push them out even more by pushing them to around 75psi they should smooth out the ride but other than that this is a superb tire. The bike is a 20" GT BMX with a 750w front hub motor powered by a 48 volt 16ah 1000w Li-Ion battery, dual rear brakes, built in cup holders. stretched to…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Commercial availability

Featuring Maxxis Hookworms on a horizontal Greenspeed powerful electric tricycle. Runs well at 30+km/h. Seems well balanced and fits well, rolls easily. Durability and puncture resistance will show over time. My other hang glider has Schwalbe E-Bike Speed tires (capable of 50km/h) and they seem to ride the same. The difference is that Schwalbe tires have reflective sidewalls and offer maximum puncture protection. I can update after long testing. Here is my update. I didn't even have to inflate…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Available in black only
