That is 407 lbs + ME + Trailer + Cargo bike... PLUS 2 hills

Ok, so not the same as having it all on the cargo bike.

I have, however, had the bike loaded with over 100 lbs cargo... add in the bike and passenger, so I'm probably approaching 350 lbs.

Anyway, I hope the moped tire works out for Jawnn. As I mentioned, I'm very happy with the moped tires on my trailer.

I was working on a longnose cargo hauler earlier. I still have some work to do on it. I think I'm going with the Kiniption tires for now, but will keep the moped tires in the back of my mind.

Part of the issue, no doubt, is determining how long a tire should last. A few months? A few years? Trouble Free?

Then , there is a divergence of needs. Obviously a trade-off between traction, durability, price, and performance.

Sometimes I'm amazed to think how little rubber is on a road tire, and it can last for thousands of miles. Shouldn't a MTB tire last forever?
