How straight are they? I mean Do they wobble much when spun up?Just received the tires today, ordered August 20th. Shipping from China has gotten a lot faster these days.

They look like and feel like a nice tire, but they are definitely not the same as Hoons.
First of all they are bigger and wider.
About 102.5mm x 44.5mm.
They weigh 130g or 4.5oz (for reference, my Hoons are 108g but they are used, new ones will be heavier of course)
I don’t have a new set of Hoons to compare measurements, but my slightly used Hoons are 43mm in width, measured at the rim.
The lettering on the sidewall is more raised and thicker:

And the rim is slightly bigger and beefier, feels more rigid too. About the same difference as between the GRP rigid and flex wheels.

The webbing on the inside looks different too:

The „bolts“ on the original rim are raised and can be felt, on the clone they are not:

Going to run them tomorrow, they feel nice and firm but the rubber feels more „rubbery“ than the Hoons if that makes any sense…I hope they last more than one pull
Will update tomorrow.
