What Makes It a Good Choice?
✅ Pros on Sur-Ron / Talaria

Lightweight tyre = faster acceleration, better regen, and more agile handling

⚠️ Things to Consider

Requires a rim between 1.85” and 2.15” for best fit
-
Not DOT approved — off-road only use
-
On high-torque controllers, may feel slightly loose under hard throttle on hardpack
