Dear readers,

some posts mention the tyre

[MAXXIS Hookworm](http://www.maxxis.com/CmsPage.aspx?contentpageid=368), 16" x 1,95 (ETRTO 53 - 305)  
max. pressure: ~ 8 bar (!)

(Shown is the more common 20" version!)

> [@MAXXIS](#):
>
> The original urban assault tire, designed to take the abuses of the most aggressive street style riders. Bead-to-bead tread provides durability and traction whether you’re dropping staircases, grinding rails or riding in your local skate park.
> 
> - Curved grooved slick design
> - High rated pressure 110 PSI
> - Urban assault durability

(As far I could figure out, this BMX tyre is(was) used mostly for trikes, recumbents and trailers.)

Three months after the first attempt to order this tyre in Austria (via Germany),  
after several mails and phone calls I had to accept that’s not possible for the Maxxis general distributor “Funbike” to order it because of the minimum order limit of 50 pieces (!?).

I want to state here that the guys of funbike.at are really nice and give their best to be helpful, also the Maxxis Support Team, many thanks to both!

I would like to know, please:

- Does anybody have actual experience riding Hookworms 16" x 1,95 ?

- Does somebody know where to order Hookworms 16" x 1,95 (preferred EU)?

Thank you!

Regards,

BSA
