omg My life will never be the same again. JE!

I picked the 25th --- I know it doesn't make sense either, but bumblebees do fly. I don't know if the bike is faster - it's not slower. They're mounted on a 2-inch wheelbase track bike frame with steep geometry, so a little extra rubber softens the jackhammer effect of the ride. far from ideal roads. I have narrow black ones on another frame and it looks like I'm getting rid of the tubes, it's a touring frame so it feels nice and springy. Just the spirit of the fact that they're overdone. Every

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…

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

If you have an indoor trainer, you should buy this tire.

Can only be considered for indoor use, so I can't comment on puncture resistance or even durability. But for indoor use this is the best tire I have ever used. I actually have a second wheel and cassette so I can use this tire indoors. I have an office in the basement that I share with my wife when we work from home and although it's a fairly large basement with a couple of doors between her space and mine, the noise bothered her while cycling indoors. That was a problem because I like to get…

Pros
  • With no frills, the sleek design offers optimal traction on rough roads, while the robust carcass provides the protection you need in the concrete jungle.
Cons
  • I'll add later

Heavy and wears out quickly, but sticks to the road and looks good

The streets in the town where I live are deserted. So much so that residents began celebrating birthdays and holidays, often decorating neighbors' potholes with garlands, banners and hats to celebrate the occasion. It has gotten so bad that there are now groups of pothole wardens who "illegally" fill up the potholes to save the wheels of the uninitiated who unfortunately walk their roads. This influenced my decision to build a bike for my daily commute. I wanted a wide tire that would give me a

Pros
  • Puncture Protection: The thicker the tire, the harder it is for glass, pins, clips and other urban clutter to penetrate.
Cons
  • Low maintainability
