Suitable for flat but not rough roads

This tire was used on a 16 inch unicycle. It's a bit thinner than the stock 16x2.125 tire, but I really enjoyed the ride. Inflating it to the lower end of the recommended range, around 35psi, will give you a smooth ride but also a bit of bounce. The tread pattern is good for road use and very quiet. However, the sidewall is extremely paper thin and was damaged while riding on gravel. It wasn't overly difficult terrain, I feel the tire should be able to handle it.

Pros
  • Tires and tubes
Cons
  • No instructions

Great road tire, comfortable and easy to roll

Replaced some very aggressive mountain bike tires on my old mountain bike now used as a road cruiser with those big apples. Couldn't be happier. Absolutely great road tires. I took them to the forest to see if they were usable. I've found I can use them on the trails when taking friends into the woods who don't have bikes. I need to lend them my new bike and I use it. Because I can't let anyone get hurt but me. So if you want multi-purpose tires, I would choose a tire with some tread on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great for mountain biking on paved or dirt roads

I mounted these on my Raleigh M-60 MTB after seeing them here at Revain. My brother is an avid cyclist and he recommended them. He rides them on his Surly Ogre (see below). While the tires are good for 55psi, he says, "they actually roll better at lower pressures of about 45psi." I was able to install them on standard VXC2.2 drives with my bare hands. (By the way, the tires arrived about five days early. I was expecting them on Wednesday, and they arrived the previous Friday. You can't go wrong

Pros
  • Tires
Cons
  • Very expensive
