I think we reviewed this subject just a short time ago--but since it is
one I am directly interested, here is the link (again) to a tire
solution that I found using the search feature.
'Michelin 700c X 47c for Sun Frame and rim' (http://tinyurl.com/6kjk6)
I picked up a 28er sun the other day to prepare for the unithon that I
am most likely not going to make afterall, but still, I wanted a 28er,
so....
I ordered that Michelin already, so I'lllet you know how it works out.
When I assembled the unicycle, I put my KH saddle on it, Nimbus X
cranks, and metal pedals. I took it to my LBS to ask the bike mechanic
if he thought the wheel needed truing, and he told me to ride it around
a bit first, then take it back, but for the moment, it appeared OK.
I rode it up and down this short paved path next to my house--it
actually feels pretty good--nice and light and solid. I did not take it
for any extended rides yet because I strained my back a few days ago
(chief reason why I may not make the unithon), but one thing I did
notice--the stock tire it comes with is a bit sucky. A plasticky nylon
thing--not horrible, but not any real fun. I don't think I'll push this
unicycle (nor my back) till I get the Michelin, which is due to arrive
on the 15th.
But check out the link above--at least the size specs for the tire might
be a good guide, and as far as going fast on this tire, well, sure, it
looks like a fast tire, I guess...

All I want out of life is to be able to ride the unicycle while smoking
a cigar at the same time. Is that too much to ask for?
