These arrived in a box and the tires were banded. My initial thought was they will not easily go back to their original shape. But to my surprise as soon as I cut the band, the tires snapped right int shape. Very happy about that aspect.
The tires are nice, the bead area seems very strong, although there is not a metal bead in these tubes, but there is a good amount of rubber bead thickness. The casting on the inside is very smooth all the way around and the sidewall does have some thickness to them. And the tread is cut in very nicely.
The inner tube feels good. Meaning the rubber is very flexible and the Shrader valve has great threads and looks well molded into the tube itself.
