Thank you, David. I believe all i2 owners owe you for helping get this done AND for communicating the information. I'm shocked that I didn't see them earlier today on the accessories page of INC's site.

Can you please post the prices of each item or PM me separately if you prefer?

I believe, I'm at home so this is from memory, MSRP on the tire is $39.95 and the tube is $13.99.

Yes, I currently have a set of Ryan's i2 tires on my stock 180 rims.

Thanks, Jim.

That is great! Everybody wins with this change. Are you running them with tubes or tubeless. If tubeless, are you using Slime or will they seal without?

I'm running them with tubes. I just love the way they don't lose pressure that way. I can add air every couple of months with tubes. Even with slime, when I was tubeless, I usually lost a couple of psi per month. I just got some regular 2.50 X 14 tubes at a motorcycle shop and used them. The curved valve stems aren't needed on the 180 wheels.

Glad I could help

Thank you for your tire responses - I took along a can of "fix-a-flat", but luckily did not need it - I checked it with baggage and no one ever questioned it.

I would strongly discourage you from using "fix-a-flat" or products like that. They put a residue in your tires that makes them completely unrepairable. Almost every tire shop I have dealt with in the last few years has signs warning that if such a product has been used, the warranty on the tire is void, and they will not work on them. Slime is one thing, but that stuff should be just plain outlawed!

A bottle of Slime and an aircompressor can do the job of Fix-a-flat without the mess.
