Kink's Sever tire was designed to be simple, yet stylish and of course functional. p>It features an effective low profile tread pattern that rolls fast while providing a ridiculous amount of grip. The entire outer tread surface is micro-knurled which adds additional traction. The 2.4" tire width and resilient rubber compound help to soften hard landings for both the rider and the rims, with increased thickness in the side wall areas helping to prevent flats and improve stability even when running lower tire pressures.
