A teal-colored Merritt Option 20 Inch Tyre (Each) featuring Slidewall Technology with a black inner rim, shown standing upright against a white background.

Description

The Merritt Option tire takes a new look at what makes a good street tire, and goes way beyond just making a tread pattern that looks good. Featuring Merritt's Slidewall Technology which is their own ultra-hard low friction compound that helps reduce drag on grinds and increase the life of the tire sidewalls plus a ton of other features. The center section of the tire is smooth, so it is nice and fast, but the tread is actually thick for this section. The thicker tread has the benefit of increased shock absorption and then abruptly tapers down to a thinner thickness. By having the tapered tread connect to the thick center section, it offers support so there is no squirm and the tire is stable and at the same time reduces the tire weight because there is no benefit to the thicker tread on those sections of the tire. 20 x 2.35

Features

Built for street riding. Merritt designed the Option around what actually works on street, not just a tread pattern that looks good in photos.
Slidewall Technology on the sidewalls. An ultra hard, low friction compound cuts drag on grinds and makes the sidewalls last longer when you are sliding ledges and rails.
Smooth, fast centre strip. The centre section runs smooth so it rolls quickly, with thick tread underneath for shock absorption over rough ground.
Tapered tread stops squirm. The tapered tread ties into the thick centre for support, so the tyre stays stable instead of rolling under you.
Sold as a single tyre. This is one tyre, so order two if you are doing the front and the rear.
