🚲 Enhanced Riding Experience with Panaracer Swoop Folding Bead Tire Review

I don't know what to think of these tires. When I installed the tire on my 26" front wheel, the tire was a bit wobbly, but the inner tube was fine. I don't know if it was wrapped in zip ties for too long and permanently affected the shape of the rubber, or if it was itself eventually straightened myself. However when I took my bike out to the track it ran great. Much better than the previous tire I had. Now I use this 2.25 front and my old 2.1 rear (smoke) and the bike is amazing now .But then…

I installed the front in the direction shown but I installed the rear for better grip so it really crashes and clings to my climbs so braking is a bit off but most of the stopping power comes from the front wheel so it was a small compromise for a huge increase in grip when climbing. The Panaracer website doesn't show the size I bought (26 x 2.25) as one of their listings, the packaging looked real and the tires looked real so I'm…
