just changed my tires from MTB tires to these Kenda K1029 Kwick Roller Sport 26 Inch Tires. VERY nice... much smoother and faster rolling on the streets. GREAT BUY

It's been hard to find reasonably priced high pressure tires of this size.
Very good tires, hold up well, puncture resistant even with standard tubes.
I uses these strictly for commuting. About an 18 mile round trip to work.
Review by Roadhog
I've been using these tires for 2 months on my 90's vintage mountain bike set-up as a commuter. I'm putting about 80 miles a week on them and I'm absolutely delighted with the performance. A number of reviewer's complained about how they pick up small stones between the treads. This was true for about the first 50 miles but once the tread sharpness wears a little it stops happening. Car tires do the same thing - no big deal. My only negative is that I should have bought the narrower version. There's a lot of extra girth in the 2.0 that isn't really necessary for the amount of road riding I'm doing. But, that's on me!

I wanted to fit my rims and get 85 psi so the riding is easier. I also wanted a tread pattern that was for city riding and didn't make a lot of noise on pavement. Excellent value.

I've been doing a lot more street riding on my Mtn bike lately and wanted to liven it up a bit. These tires are great on the road and still wide enough to not have at worry about popping a tube when hopping curbs.
Review by Ewerton
I use these tires on my MTB for 2 evening rides (about 20 mi long) per week on, for the most part, smooth asphalt. They roll very easily, have enough grip on either dry or wet pavement. After about 500 mi, no flats and no noticeable wear. For a safer riding, even knowing of the 60 TPI casing, I'd recommend a pair of anti-puncture tapes.

Review by Biker Dad
I gave a high rating for these tires earlier. They are quick rolling and comfortable tires, but once the bike trails froze I started getting flats. The trails were clear, all the rocks were frozen in place. 3 flats in 2 weeks. Each time I picked out what appeared to be flint. No more 2mm long, but long enough to puncture my tubes. Thicker tubes would make the quick tires heavy. Went with Schwalbe Marathons, no flats since. Well worth not changing tubes on the trail, but I did get good at it even in the cold. So even though these are cheap tires you pay in time, labor and cost of tubes.

I wanted to try a set of these after reading the reviews on this tire. I was looking to put a set of tires on that were lighter in weight, and could take more air pressure than my stock knobby mountain bike tires. They provided a noticeable difference on paved roads, and packed gravel trails. The cost was also reasonable when you consider what Walmart wants for their bike tires.

Good tire. No problems so far. Almost 400 miles on them with zero problems. A little noisy at times but not unbearable. Works great on the greenway trails and roads I travel.

I ride to work on city streets every day. I was looking for a good all around tire and this one fit the bill.
