Upgrade your Xiaomi electric scooter with this genuine CST Extra Thick 8.5 x 2 pneumatic tyre, designed as a more durable replacement for the standard Xiaomi 8.5-inch tyre.
Manufactured by CST (Cheng Shin Tyre), the tyre features an extra-thick rubber construction for improved durability and resistance to everyday wear. Its distinctive cross-hatch road tread provides multiple gripping edges across the tyre surface for confident traction, cornering and everyday urban riding.
The thicker construction makes this an excellent choice for riders looking for a stronger, longer-lasting replacement tyre while retaining the original 8.5-inch wheel size and ride characteristics of the Xiaomi scooter.

Designed for Xiaomi electric scooters using the original 8.5 x 2 (50/75-6.1) pneumatic tyre, including:
One of the main advantages of this tyre over cheaper generic replacements is its heavier, extra-thick rubber construction. The additional rubber provides greater resistance to normal tread wear and helps create a robust tyre for regular commuting and higher-mileage use.
Unlike a solid tyre, it retains a pneumatic inner tube, helping preserve ride comfort and road compliance rather than transferring every bump and vibration through the scooter.
The CST tread uses curved intersecting grooves across both sides of the tyre. These create numerous tread edges for traction while retaining a large rubber contact area for smooth road use.
Important: This is an outer tyre only. A compatible 8.5 x 2 inner tube is required and sold separately.
