The Lowdown: Vee Tire Crown Tires
A couple years ago, we didn't know what to think of Vee Tire Co. Previously called Vee Rubber, they had a dizzying array of tires that seemed to hit every pricepoint and market opportunity.
But they recently rebranded to Vee Tire and refocused their efforts on high-end tires and emerging new tire standards. We've been hearing great things from users who've used the product and were excited to try their new Crown tires ourselves.
Off the bat, the tires didn't look too exciting with their seemingly geometric knob patterns. But the supple 120tpi casing, consistent construction and grippy Tackee rubber compound performed better than expected. Check out our full review below to learn more.
