1) TIRES 

 

 We supply our chairs with Kenda ‘Iron cap’ tires or Schwalbe ‘RightRun’ tires as per 

your preference. 

KENDA’S -  These high performance tires are made with a silica compound in the tread 

area to reduce rolling resistance and a thicker sidewall to resist pinch punctures. There is 

nothing to be gained by ‘hyper-inflating’ these tires over 120 P.S.I. In fact, doing so will 

only stretch the tire and cause possible tire to wing clearance issues on offensive chairs. 

SCHWALBE’S -   These are the new benchmark tires in their basic line and are high 

performance tires that are equipped with smooth sidewalls, which are also thicker than 

Kenda’s, to further resist pinch punctures. They feature a particularly hard wearing 

“Black’n’Roll” central tread compound as well as their Puncture Protection belt, common 

in all the Schwalbe basic tires.  There is a maximum recommended P.S.I. of 145 on these 

tires.
