Review on πŸ”₯ WTB ThickSlick Comp: High-performance Tire for Ultimate Durability and Traction by Black Croom

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for an elegant city bike.

These tires have turned my old mountain bike into a fun and efficient city bike. I pumped them up to 60psi (65 max) and pedaling down sidewalks and over potholes has never been easier. The thick, bulbous shape helps them perform reasonably well on dirt and gravel trails. I highly recommend them as it's an easy way to turn an old MTB into an urban commuter. The logo is printed on the inside of the bulge, which I think should remain relatively pristine for a long time. The look of these tires is DEFINITELY unique and eye-catching, with great branding. People notice and comment on these tires. Whether that's good or bad, you have to decide for yourself. Fit: These tires are definitely smooth and very thick! Make sure the cameras you're pairing them with can be larger than 2 inches. These tires are wider and taller and take up a lot more room than the old knobby 1.95" MTB tires I replaced with them. They have a wide range of inflation pressures, meaning you have plenty of control to customize your ride from soft to hard. They came in huge square boxes (*not* folded) and fit my 26" rims fairly easily. Please see how to change a bicycle tire before complaining that the tires are difficult to install; they were very easy to install. To install.

Pros
  • 2x Rubber: Double rubber tread means double tire life. That means your price is 50% lower than your competitors.
Cons
  • Safety
