This is very good urban tire, not afraid of some gravel use.

Urban use on rough paved roads, and light gravel use.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent rolling hi-Pressure tire for Mtbs,Hybrids,Road.Smooth and grippy,rain or sun.

I repair a lot of Bikes run a small repair shop.Ive changed peoples views on these smooth rolling,nice riding,go anywhere tires w flat protection.The Very Visable reflective stripe lights up at night over 200ft away.Safety in rain,dry,snow traction.Best buy on Fast rolling replacement tires that may Surprise you.Mtbs will fly over off-road knobbies.Hybrid,comfort bikes will be in fact more Comfortable all around.Best tire Ive found here for Up-Grading most stock tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice looking and nice riding tire for backroads and hills,

Use the tires on backroads that are very poorly maintained and also quite hilly. Relatively smooth ride in spite of the road conditions. The tires are on an older Trek 820.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great replacement tires for commuters.Bright reflective and easy to finger on.Tight-fit rims well. Run 2mm larger.

Puncture protection, smooth and pretty fast aired up.Reflective stripe is bright easy to see 200ft. Fit rims and hand/finger on quite well.These run larger w/calipers by 1.5 to 1.8 - watch your frame width. Ride is smooth and quite an Improvement without spending a lot more.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire

For the price it's a great tire. Needed a pair, usually I would look for Kenda but not in stock. Great substitute.

Best tire ever!

This tire is the best of both worlds. On the street if at 50 psi only about 34 inch of tire is on the pavement. Off road is good traction, suggest lower pressure if its a off road day. I like the tread design and the reflective white wall trim feature. This is a solid tire with strong sidewall design. I can see why E Bikes would use this tire. If I was running at 25 miles per hour,this is the tire I would feel confident with. This may not appeal to the lightweight racing bicyclist but for the commuter or 90% road 10% dirt biker, this is the tire you want. I was running 1.95's and was hesitant to go to the 1.85 but I'm glad I did. The size is perfect for both worlds.

Thank you for your feedback.

Cracks

Purchased and installed them in March 2017. The rear tire's sidewall has many cracks. Hard to say how long they have been there. Front tire is fine. I have not allowed them to deflate. Need to get another set of tires not sure if I will choose this type again.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good traction tire

I needed a tire that I can use on the neighborhood road as well as some biking on the trail. This tire fits the bill. The only downside I saw, that I had trouble to have the tire properly set on the rim. I had to get back and forth letting some of the air out and pumping back until it was properly centered.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great road tires for my gravel bike

These tires roll easily on pavement, but can handle dirt roads & gravel. The wide pressure range makes adjustment for different rides easy.
