I have cut about 3 minutes off my commute to and from work since I switched from my knobbys on my mongoose malus. The handling is a good deal sharper now too

The name-brand tire where this tire is based of has a major defect in which the bead blows out of the rim, even when installed correctly.But, I'm glad to say these tires don't have that issue after putting around 1,000 miles on it; they held up very well and still doing great. Will definitely be ordering more of these.

I can't attest to ease of install because I had a bike shop do it ( they did not mention that is was a hassle).Furthermore, I do not know how durable they are. I have about 30 miles on them and its been a good and quiet ride thus far. We'll see after 500-1000 miles or so.Cost for both tires seems fair even if they only make it a thousand miles. But mostly got them for looks in which they don't disappoint!

I blew a hole in my rad runner tire so after much deliberation I went with this. It sounds like it won't fit but it does. It's way bigger than the original , but it clears everything. There are other speed tires and they ask a premium but I'm cheap. Now. First off it Chinese. It's thin. I had a stick actually go through this tire and puncture my tube. So yes , it's very thin. I had 3 flats right off the bat after installing it. But after that I haven't had anymore flats. I've been running it for about a year here in Austin tx. It's MUCH quieter than the original nobby tire. It's also notably faster. Top speed went up around 1.5 miles per hour but that could be the circumference difference but I'm no rocket doctor. So if you live in the desert with goats heads , I'd say no. If you cruise decent paths and or roads like I do, I'd say yes. I've put nearly 1000 miles on it this year and it still looks new. So after I got the flats out of the way I'm happy with it now. Happy trails. !!

I bought two white-wall tires. Both roll smoothly. Both were exactly as advertised.
