Best cruiser tire

Great cruiser tire. The rubber compound stays clean and lies well on the road. The pressure is higher than the old denim tires that are standard on some Huffy models. The reflective sidewalls are an added safety bonus and this tire size is perfect for my Mongoose Otero 27 speed hybrid MTB/Beachcruiser. They easily attach and detach from the rims and feature a seat belt, although I also use Slime's extra heavy duty spike tubes in the high desert for added protection.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Not only beautiful appearance, but also the best design.

I know it's hard to believe but the extra money spent on these tires was well spent. I bought these to replace the stock tires on my cruiser. They're quiet, don't pick up small rocks and sand like deeper-profile tires do, and have a reflective strip on the sidewalls so cars can't miss me crossing the street at night. My stock tires were 2.125 wide and got a bit wider without interfering with the brake levers or fenders. And yes, there is indeed a difference in rolling resistance. I would have…

  • Absolutely amazing!

A great tire can have a bad one

A very good tire to drive. Excellent cornering grip I really enjoy leaning into them without fear of losing traction. I keep them inflated to about 45psi in the front and about 35lbs in the rear. Ride them on a yellow 56 Schwinn Tiger two-speed recoil strap attached to a set of vintage Mavic mountain bike hoops. I only noticed today that after a year and a half of very infrequent driving, the side wall is peeling off where the reflective strip is. I noticed a bulge on the sidewall of the front…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old

Swallow fat francs are better than I can imagine

Swallow fat francs are better than I can imagine. You're worth it. First, they make every bike better. Check out her photo on my Marin mountain bike that my daughter stole to take to college. :) Believe it or not, they are performance tires that make life easier for the driver. Fat Franks inflate heavily (up to 70psi in some) which is great as they can roll down the street. unresisting. These tires absolutely slide! The tread is positioned to roll smoothly and quietly, unlike your typical…

  • cool product
