🚲 AMERICAN CLASSIC Torchbearer Tube Type Bicycle Tire, All Weather Road, 700 x 25C, 700 x 28C, 700 x 32C Review

If you're a sports and outdoors enthusiast looking for a reliable replacement for your bicycle, this isn't the one. After I put it to the test, it fell short, had poor construction and material quality. The only pro is that it looks somewhat sleek. The cons outweigh that sole benefit.

I chose 32 mm winter tires for my racing bike. I've only driven about a hundred miles but first impressions are good. The tires don't feel noticeably slow or braking and handle well on bad tarmac. It's also probably the easiest tire to mount I've ever used. However, they are very small. Measured at 30mm on a 19mm internal width rim.

Mounted on a 2012 Giant TCR because I couldn't fit a 28mm Continental Gatorskin. I bought them on purpose because people said they were a tight fit, my 28mm tires actually fit around 26mm. However, it was still a big improvement in comfort over the Specialized Armadillo All-Condition Elite 23mm, it was 97 psi up front and 101 psi out back. I run Torchbearers at 76psi front and 80psi rear according to the SRAM AXS tire gauge. I rode them about 140 miles but they were comfortable and good value.
