Excellent Grip - smooth rolling effort - 65 PSI rated
Sellers seldom display the PSI rating for any bicycle tire, so I will. It rolls easy and has extraordinary grip. If you want a tire that is wide and offers traction with a large variety of surface types, then this is your tire! It rolls well over grass, dry or wet dirt, muddy caliche, small rocks, and yes - wet or dry smooth concrete or asphalt. It's a gripper.

Awesome Traction - at 65 PSI - effortless pedal effort required
It's printed right on the tire to inflate to 65 PSI - something sellers don't print on their websites.
These tires are great! They grip and roll very well over pavement, grass, and wet earth that's ridable.

Thick, fast rolling and amazing looking, better than my buzzers.
I have a Trek Marlin 7 (2019) and these fit just fine. They are definitely heavier than the original nubby tires that came with the bike but I have absolute confidence they'll hold up for a long long time and I'm faster with them because of the smooth rolling surface.
