Review by BigCountry1967Reviewed 6/22/2013by BigCountry1967Cycling EnthusiastRaleigh NC7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Look & ride GREAT!!!Absolutely LOVE my RED version of these tires... they look GREAT & roll smoothly on the asphalt surfaces & roads on which I ride my 17 - 22 miles daily, 6 days per week. The thickness & heavy-duty composition seem to make them much more durable & dependable than more expensive tires I've used over the past 3 years of cycling, so the little bit of noticeable extra weight ain't a big deal to me. I HIGHLY recommend these tires & will definitely be purchasing more of them.

Review by MilMt.bikerReviewed 6/5/2013by MilMt.bikerCasual CyclistMilwaukie, OR5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Great price for a great street tire I bought the slick tires to replace my knobby dirt tires for riding on the city bike paths and to reduce the friction from the dirt tires for a much easier ride. Took them for the first ride and noticed instantly how much easier it is to pedal on a rough road surface. I think these tires are great.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/6/2013by AnonymousCasual CyclistMemphis, TN5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Great tire for little cost!I ordered this tire to use on my indoor bike trainer due to the regular mountain bike tire being way too loud. It has worked great for what I need and was worth the little money paid.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/17/2012by AnonymousCasual CyclistNew Orleans, La19 of 20 customers found this review helpful.Really tames my old MTB frame!I put these on my old hard tail MTB bike that had been gathering dust in the back of the garage. I rarely went off road and the bike was an uncomfortable bone shaker compared to a modern comfort bike. These tires softened up the ride, are more quiet, and give good traction on pavement. They look good too!

Review by DirtBroReviewed 12/13/2012by DirtBroCasual CyclistPittsburgh, PA12 of 14 customers found this review helpful.Good tires for converting a mountain bike to road useI bought an old rigid mountain bike to putt around town on, and it had extremely knobby tires which were really noisy on the street. I got these tires for it, and they are great in that they feel and sound a zillion times better on pavement than dirt tires, but they are kinda big and fat. However, if you're converting a bike like I did, that's not an altogether bad thing because then you don't have to buy new tubes, the ones in your current dirt tires should fit these just fine.
I'd have given these 5 stars if they were just a little bit more low profile, I have trouble squeezing my U-lock around the wheel to lock up to certain things. But they do an outstanding job and they're very affordable.

Review by KopsisReviewed 10/17/2012by KopsisCycling EnthusiastSt. Pete, FL10 of 11 customers found this review helpful.Great value in a mountain bike street tireI bought a pair of these tires for a rigid-fork, hard-tail mountain bike that I converted to an ebike. To handle sustained riding at 20 mph with no suspension, I wanted the biggest tire that the bike could handle. I wasn't sure what to expect from Cheng Shin, but the price was so low, I couldn't resist giving them a try. I'm very glad I did as these tires are exactly what I was looking for. The wide size lets me run at relatively low pressure which really helps soak up the bumps and gives me a very comfortable ride. The tires are quite heavy (I knocked off one star for the weight). If you're pedaling hills you may want to look at lighter alternatives. On the plus side, the heavy construction looks like it could shrug off road hazards that would shred tires three times the price. Last, but not least, they look great on the bike! With only 30 miles so far, I can't tell how well they'll wear, but they're so inexpensive that I could buy a set every 1000 miles and not complain. All in all, a great tire for the price.

Review by _scottwxReviewed 9/27/2012by _scottwxCompetitive RacerNew Orleans, La.14 of 14 customers found this review helpful.An excellent road tire.I recently purchased a set of Cheng Shin c1218 26 inch city tires in black for my schwinn cruiser, and find them to be excellent performers. Great traction on the road and shed water away like a duck. Oh! By the way, these tires also look good on my bike.

Review by BillingsBikerReviewed 4/30/2012by BillingsBikerCasual CyclistBillings, MT16 of 17 customers found this review helpful.Good, inexpensive road slicksI bought these tires for road commuting with my mountain bike. For the price, they've been great. They wear well, much easier to ride than my knobbies, and are quiet and comfortable. I haven't yet used them in the wet, so I can't comment on how well they ride in anything but dry weather.
