Review on WTB Horizon 650 x 47c Road TCS Tire: Superior Performance and Exceptional Durability for Unmatched Road Adventures by Eric Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better than expected

Generally a well made tire that handles the road very well when standing right and going straight in the middle of the road. Once you enter a corner they really shine as the different compounds seem to grip at different levels when you need to lean the bike and stay on the road. I really like the tires and they fit perfectly on my 2017 Diamondback Haanjo EXP with no play or friction issues. They measure just under 47 millimeters and offer an exceptional ride, especially at around 45psi and I weigh 235 pounds, so it's really great. In the rain it feels like dry pavement, but at high speeds they hold some water and splash a bit even with good fenders. The chew walls look very retro and I've had nice feedback on how good they look on the bike. I can really recommend them and will definitely buy them again and again. Definitely 5 stars. I think I'll set them up as tubeless tires soon so I can add to this review and let you know what I think about them.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Some flaws
