I bought the board used worn, damaged and with all tires shredded a bit. I took it apart, cleaned all the parts replaced the wheels and grip tape. It was very easy replacing the tires, and I liked the attention to detail. I never really learned to ride a skateboard although I tried and failed a little with my son’s skateboard so it was a risk to go straight to this. I definitely loved learning and am now hooked. One issue, when I reach 20 miles per hour if I go one mile faster it shakes. I am not sure why…
Super easy install, I did just learn you should put soaping water on the tube while installing. and I was having a problem in the beginning where I would put new tubes in and they would pop after a day. I realized the tub was being pinned by the rim. So I do put duck tape in the inside of the rim when closing. And since ive done that, I haven't has any tubs pop.
The product was advertised with a 160mm wheel tire, but upon purchasing, I found that the inner tube provided was only 150mm. For those unfamiliar, this may seem inconsequential, but using a smaller inner tube in a larger wheel tire can significantly increase the risk of blowouts and punctures. This occurs because the tube has to expand beyond its capacity to reach the wheel tire’s recommended PSI specification.They attempted to justify the use of this inner tube on their skateboard by claiming it functions adequately. However, numerous other comments attest to the short lifespan of this inner tube due to its improper fit, as highlighted by various complaints.
Inner tubes don’t really last a long time i’ve had to replace them about 3-4 times for the back tires I don’t know whats the problem with them but i guess its just the way they are but they work.
A bit pricy but I love how these tires ride. They fit perfectly on my Exway Atlas AT2. The rounded tire surface makes carving on my board very smooth and confident.

Sorry to see that, please kindly reach out to our team for warranty claim.
Update- Our team has sent you free replacement per our record. Hope everything is good for now.
For $150? I expect the wheels/rims set to come with belts and pulleys. The inner tubes/tires were also all the same orientation, so 2 of them were installed wrong and I have to flip them around... I'm not impressed with this purchase.
I don't know if I just happen to be a harder rider, I didnt think I was, but a brand new set of tubes lasts me maybe a month. Ive researched everything. Made sure the right PSI, right placement, no snags. Ive owned the hammer for like 3-4 years now and I love it, plan on getting the parts ti upgrade it soon. But my nect tires will definitely be these Cloud Rovers, 165 wheels. No more air for me until they can figure out the tire situation. And for reference, my riding is 60 street, 40 light terrain like gravel and dirt
I still haven't received my package getting closer to a month now since I ordered and shipped .
i will never buy from backfire again there customer service succcccccks they gave me a 5 dollar gift card instead of fixing the actual problem like getting my package of tube's .

So they gave me a 5 dollar gift card instead of sending a new set at expedited shipping ........ and getting it to me ... but noooooo gave me 5 dollars like w t f
Like they can just pay u off with nothing instead of fixing the issue
I don't want something I can't use ..... I'm never buying anything backfire anyway soooooo just send me my tube's.......... I would like to ride my board ........and no its not a backfire ..... i don't need it to explode.....this company is bad .....I got things faster from China don't buy stay away
..........
I love the board(hammer) but the tires chew through like no other, I thought I was just hard on them but I'm seeing a lot of other people worry about them too
They get their tires from HOTA, buy there if you wanna buy individual tires
I never got them, when I tracked them on the app it took a while to get to my city and then it says they were returned, so I would either like a refund or my belts please resent to me without additional charge thank you. I love the Hammer though amazing board
Not great for DIY. I understand the product is meant to repair/replace wheels on the Hammer board. But I just wanted offroad wheels. When I got it, the tires were exactly what I expected, except bearing sizes and holes are bigger, so I had to buy specially sized bearings. Was a pain to deal with but got through it.
