Best Onewheel Pint Tire (Not The Flight Fins Whisper)

***PLEASE READ!***
This is a long one...I hope you find it useful. There are some items I didn't touch upon in the video itself, and I didn't want to add sections of voice over because a 20 minute video is enough. There's no sense in dragging it out further.

On the subject of the stock Unilli tire's defectiveness: (Not dffective...defective. Although I do stan DK. That guy's an international treasure.) The stock tire on the Onewheel Pint is VERY much a discount budget tire. You're talking $20-25 retail. Much less for wholesale pricing. That's what Future Motion puts on it. The problem isn't the design of the tire, it's the quality control. There are several instances of that model tire having a bump across the face that causes it to sound and feel like it's rolling over a twig every rotation. There are posts about it on Reddit, comments randomly scattered on YouTube, and I've experinced it myself. I've experienced it from seperately purchased samples of that tire. Fortunately, TC Racing was kind enough to just send a replacement, however the issue comes up if you have one that's defective right on your board. FM does warranty their tires, but if you've either experienced or read anything about their warranty process, it's tantamount to the second rung of hell. God help you if you have to go through that because your cheap budget tire was defective out of the box.
On the subject of the Flight Fins Whisper for the Pint...I'm sorry if you're a Flight Fins fan. However they're not perfect and this tire is a huge miss. It is nothing like the Whisper slick for the XR. Nothing at all. That tire is a gem, even though it's grossly overpriced. This tire, the Whisper Pint Edition, is not a good tire. It's certainly not worth what they're charging. Their marketing copy that mentions stability to any extent is just untrue, unfortunately. I normally wouldn't be so sour on something like this, but it's obnoxious to see a company literally lie about a product that costs almost $100 USD, particularly one that's a hassle to install and one that most users would just tolerate for the life of the tire because changing to another is also a hassle.
It's a poor move on their part, and they've done nothing but double down on how amazing it is. It isn't. It's a poor tire choice.
