Understanding Kart Tire Size Measurements
Kart tires list their size measurements a little different than automotive tires. They list the overall diameter, tire width and rim width. 
Standard Onewheel Tire Size
The standard Onewheel tire size is 11.5 X 6.5-6. It is a Vega, MBM white. This tire has great wear resistance and gets decent traction over varied terrain. The Vega tire has a relatively flat contact patch, giving it the greatest stability and making it the ideal learners tire. The downside of the square shape is it lacks the agility available to a rounder tire. If you don’t think you are ready for an upgrade, you can get yourself a Vega Here.
Different Tire Models For Your Onewheel
There are many different tires available as an upgrade for your Onewheel. Some kart tire manufacturers have even customized a tire model specifically for use on Onewheel. The following models have been proven to fit.

Thanks for the great overview on tires. I’ve been riding my Onewheel XR for a few weeks, and loving it. However, I had one crash that still has me a little spooked, caused by an uneven road surface that threw me into a wobble, and I couldn’t recover, so went down rather hard. Fortunately I had good gloves on and escaped with only minor abrasions, but it really surprised me that I lost control like that. Is there a tire that handles uneven surfaces with more stability than the original, flat Vega tire? I’m not looking for just a flat ride … I love carving and being agile on the board, but this Vega tire seems to not really want to carve that much. So if I get a tire that carves better, does it also handle uneven road surfaces better, with less wobble? Or would there be more wobble?
Thank you for your help!!
Hi Rich, I know exactly how you feel! As an experiment, I recently forced my self to ride a stock XR for 100 something miles, and while it was still fun, the difference is crazy.
The Vega is great in a straight line but with the square profile, I totally understand why you are having a hard time carving.
Craft&Ride has some great choices.
Tire choice is very subjective but think the Hoosier 11 x 6.0-6 Slick would be a good place to start.
If got 11.5 x 6.5 x 6 on my onewheel from stock not 11.5 x 6.0 x 6
Good Catch! I love it when our readers help out with a bit of proofreading! Thanks,
