Tires on new mini

[JimInPT]

I received my Mini Step-Thru in March and like you I had my doubts about the CST Big Boat tires and tread, but I have to say I like them very much.  They are puncture-resistant, but I hit 'em with Slime anyway and they are holding 30 psi pressure very well after 150 miles, including a lot of simple trails with rocks and smallish thorns.  They are fine on packed dirt and gravel trails and very nice on pavement.  Quiet as well and less rolling resistance than a knobby tread.

I'd live with them for a while and see if you feel the same about them; you can always order and install the Kenda knobbies - I've decided not to do that for now as I start to rack up the miles and hours on the Big Boats.

I have installed 35 amp controllers and color displays on both the Radmini and the Radrover models.

Was that the standard Mini or StepThru, and which controller mod did you use?  I have the StepThru and have yet to hear about anybody squeezing a new controller into that model, but I suppose it's possible.
