I am trying to get my Schwinn LeTour back on the road for some casual rides. I went with bike tires direct for these tires, along with rim strips and tubes. Reading about fitting modern tires on vintage bikes, at this stage, I wanted to see if these tires would cinch to the wheel rims. It seems that at least one of the tires will fit ok. Now trying to get the test tire off the rim, so that I can install a tube. Stay tuned when I tackle the tubes! By the way, I recommend bike tires direct especially for their tire fitting guide, along with on line chats.

I�ve had this tire on the rear of a commuter-oriented Trek 950 for a few months now (with a 1.75 Conti Country Rock in the front). Loving it so far - quiet tread pattern, but enough grip for wet conditions and dirt. Handles 50psi well (my preferred PSI). Heavy of course, but that�s what you sign up for with an e-bike rated tire. What you get in exchange is serious durability! Slightly �dead� feel compared to some more supple tires, (aka thinner tires) but not that bad compared to other e-bike rated tires.

These replaced stock tires on my hybrid bike. I like them and would recommend them!

Pros: Compared to my stock tires these are noticably faster and grippier on tarmac. I saw an immediate 1-2mph improvement and felt more confident downhill. I also love the reflective strip.

Cons: A short 50 yard ride through a meadow resulted in a thorn puncture right through the tread. It was easy to find and patch my tube, but I was disappointed that a new tire didn't resist it. As is always the case, it could easily be bad luck- but I think these tires are not especially well suited to anything more adventurous than gravel.

Overall, despite the bad luck, I am happy and do recommend these as a great value for the price.

So I replaced my worn out tires that came on my Trek FX4. They were the hybrid style tire that came with the bike. Wore out pretty fast but didn't really have problems with it until I get in to a more rocky trail scenario. These Conti's are much better. I was concerned that they might not be so good on the road (quiet with minimal rolling resistance) . They didn't disappoint and the traction in gravel is much better. Definitely am happy with these.
