Coker XLR Tire

I just went for a ride with the new Coker Ribbed XLR tire!. Hope to go
for a long ride this weekend and see how it does. The short ride I went
on today was super smooth and Quiet.
I will post a review and maybe pictures later, Keith

Please post a picture of the new tire. To my knowledge a pic hasn't been
posted yet and I'm very interested. Later.

This is the fourth 36" tire now available, and as usual for some
reason, no known specs until the end users post them.

It's funny that. I looked up all the tires the other day, and there are
no weights posted on Unicycle.com for either of the 4 ply tires, the
Wheel TA or the Coker, so while I believe them that the Nightrider is
lighter, exactly how much lighter is a bit of a mystery. The
revolutionary cross cut thread design seems to like picking up a lot of
small stones from the road, which would add to the weight until you
pick them out.

I wonder if a Nightrider could be shaved down to slick tread?

You just have to look on the sites that sell the tyres to find the
weights.
Coker: 1960g
http://tinyurl.com/23vopm
TA: 2060g
http://tinyurl.com/2w8eul
Nightrider: 1660g
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1195

All those weights were done on the same scale, the scale is also very
accurate as it is a post office weighing scale

As for the pattern picking up small stones etc. Yes it does, but in
weight terms, nothing!

that sounds like when i was trying to lighten up my bike with all sorts
of components, xtr, etc...

whenever i sunk money into a light component, i would say, 'wow,this is
an ounce lighter than that other one!'

but when it worked against me, and i only liked how the component
looked or something, i would say, 'ahh, it's just an ounce'
