Great Tire

I bought the 700 x 37 mm for a Trek Dual Sport that I use as my daily rider and commuter. I feel that these tires are a huge upgrade for me over the 700 x 40mm Bontrager GR1 Expert tires that came with the bike. I ride paths, sidewalks, hardpack trails, and a little bit of single track. These tires handle it all beautifully, rain or shine. They roll smoothly and quietly, with plenty of confidence across surfaces.

The puncture protection is amazing. I've racked up over 300 miles and not a single puncture. For reference, the GR1s had 6 punctures in 230 miles, on the same routes.

Given all this, and the price ($36 ea. when I purchased them 06/2024), I feel comfortable recommending these tires for anyone looking for puncture resistant tires for mostly paved routes. Rain or shine, they provide a great ride.

One negative note: on dry, dusty hardpack or gravel, they don't offer the most cornering grip, so don't expect miracles. However, if your ride does venture off the pavement, these tires can handle it with a modicum of caution from the rider.

I have set up two hybrid bikes with these tires, and in 700x37 size, they are delightful. The comfort level is a major improvement over the original equipment tires, and they are quiet, smooth rolling, and grippy. I have Contis on most of my road bikes and find them quite durable, so I would expect the same from these, and the flat protection belt is an added bonus here in Arizona.

I purchased these tires for my wife's commuter bike and they have been great ! I won't say the "F" word because I don't want to "jinx" her, but she has been riding these for many tough New York City miles and hasn't had one yet... Highly recommended !

Easy to mount. Very low rolling resistance. Excellent tire for a mens Cannondale CX 4 bicycle.

I bought these for a cruiser and they seem to work very well. I don't care about weight at all and they do their job. Roll smooth and ride well.
