The best tire I have found for this setup is the Kenda K161 Knobby Cross 27x1-3/8 Gum Wall Tire. I have a set on a city bike of similar vintage and geometry and they're really quite good.
I would recommend swapping the tires out and setting it up tubeless when you get around to it. It came with Torreno dry 38s and I put on Kenda Crusher 45/40s and it is much faster and capable on dirt and road.
Kenda Nevegal and Kenda Kobra are the two tires I know of that are full all-terrain tires in the 24” wheelchair wheel size.
Some light tires like the Kenda Small Block 8. A small knobby tire that works great on the street.
Kenda K-RAD are super grippy!
Perfect all around tires for this kind of bike.
my cheapo Kenda Klever ATs have been great in the snow, okay in bad mud, and great on loose dirt. Killer is they’re loud as hell, but shit they were only $140/tire. Been running them for 30k+ miles without issue
Geriausiai gripina ir kainos performanso santykis Kenda minkstos ziemines padangos. Minusai mažas top speed jų, gal 150, tai jau kokį balandį gali erzint ir kadangi labai minkštos gali būti ne tokios stabilios užmiestyje (ne miesto greičiais važiuojant).
For example the K193 Tires were made to be super puncture resistant at a higher PSI than the first K Series(100PSI) but due to budgeting, they had to sacrifice handling, and also some rolling resistance, they do roll nice but not the best, they handle like crap, and aren’t not safe in the rain despite being advertised as such..lol… they also wear like iron, after 8,000 miles i still have life left them in and never had any puncture issues compared to other tires.
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
I just put one of those tires on the front of my K1600 & it doesn't like speeds over 70 mph. It handles good at low speeds & in the rain, but I don't like it at all on the highway. Feels like rain grooves on any surface.
