Excellent tire for trails or country/urban obstacles

The tire is stout and thick. It looks inflated even with it is not. I have great confidence in it's puncture resistance. The high visibility paint on the sides make me more comfortable in the early mornings.

I'm a clydesdale rider coming in at 250 and they handle it well. I've done 100 miles of dirt trails and 250 miles on the roads so far and couldn't be happier.

Finally a tire with high visibility, real puncture protection, low rolling resistance and hybrid ability!

Thank you for your feedback.

Good tire.

I picked up a set of these tires last week to replace my badly-worn tires, so as you could imagine, anything is a step up from that! But this tire handles well. I went with the 1.9 width and have both front and rear set 50psi. It handles very well on my 15 mile roundtrip commute and hasn't had a flat (yet). Trust me, they would've gone flat by now if it didn't have any sort of protection (been there, done that on the route I normally commute). The reflective stripe is great for commuting during darker hours, increasing your visibility to otherwise absent-mindedoblivious vehiclists.

The only downside is that they're definitely on the heavier side, but the slick profile provides for smooth rolling, and the fattiness of the tire provides for some shock absorption, which is very nice. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

Heavy but so far bulletproof for the urban jungle

Heavy but so far bulletproof for the urban streets of Oakland. Feel confident with these not to go flat easily

Roll well on the streets, go over grass ok, packed dirt is fine. Don't go loose dirt or trails on these.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great puncture resistance

So far after almost 300 miles I can say that the tire for city dwellers is excellent , traction is good on both hard pavement and dirt trails, hard cornering you do feel those grooves but hasn't slip, only slippage I had was hoping a metal curb on a raining day at a 45 degree angle. Overall an excellent commuter tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

Replacement tires for Mt bike

I had wide nobby tires on 2 Mt Bikes. Wanted tires to run through neighborhoods. These are great. Much better rolling and lighter in general. Nice up grade for my bikes..

Thank you for your feedback.

Great all round road tire, great for mountain bikes or commuters.

Great tire, not too heavy. No puncture worries out on the road, rolls fast and holds the corners.
