Description The Retro Ride is a modern take on a classic cruiser tire. Stylish cream rubber perfectly compliments your vintage ride and the legendary Conti cruiser tread provides grip over a wide variety of terrain. A robust rubber breaker beneath the tread helps prevent punctures caused by broken glass and thorns.
The Retro Ride 700c/29 Inch tire features a three ply casing for a total of 66 TPI. Available in 700c x 55mm (55-622 ISO). 58 max. PSI. Wire bead. 990 gram claimed weight. A reflective sidewall stripe increases visibility after dark. Cream, Brown, or Black.
Note: The Retro Ride is extremely wide for a 700c tire. It will fit well on 29er mountain bikes and some Hybrid, Touring and Commuter bikes. If in doubt, please measure your frame clearance to determine a fit.

For the price and ride they are worth it.
I'm a daily commuter and rider, I bought these to try on a trek 29er mountain bike, and the difference between my stock trail tires and these is night and day. The retro rides give me a little extra cushion on the rough sidewalks and street and the speed increase and tire noise reduction are a big plus. They are a little heavier then my stock tires but the ride difference out weighs that, and no flats in the couple of months I've owned these. Bottom line I can tear up the streets on the cheap and know I'm riding on some pretty good tires.

Fun and functional
This tire is working great on my Surly Karate Monkey that I am using as a city bike. They look great too. My only concern is that when I run the pressure a little lower than recommended, these tires feel really sluggish.

This tire road well and was used in a 250 mile road trip and is still brand new and getting a lot of use
My sons and I went on a 250 mile trip road this summer and the tire held up extremely well. It is hard to find tires this big in a road tire but it was just what we needed.
