Review by PaulTheBikeGuyReviewed 4/28/2023by PaulTheBikeGuyCT shoreline1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Very satisfied. Be sure to check your ISO sizes.I restore donated bikes and give them away. I recently received two old three speed bikes in good condition, one was a Schwinn. I couldn�t find any ISO size markings on the old tires, just a reference to a Schwinn S2 rim or something. I purchased 4 tires thinking they could satisfy the other bike too (Free Spirit Brittany - like an old 26x1 3/8 tire as well). These tires didn�t work for that bike, which required ISO 37-590 size tires.
Mounted these on the Schwinn bike just fine, pretty true to round and an excellent value. I�m glad they are still available for these vintage bikes.
Fun fact: Both these bikes were shot in a flashback to �60�s scene in a film coming out next year.

Review by Schwinn JimReviewed 5/21/2017by Schwinn JimDaily CommuterSt. Clair Co. MI7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.These are great tires for the moneyBest tire for the money, but us old Schwinn freaks really have no other choice. As far as mounting goes, you need to put a thin layer of dish soap on the bead before you air up. I have also used WD-40. You will see the bead slowly pop into place at about 60-70 PSI. Make sure the rim line is visible, & you will have a smooth ride.

Review by demReviewed 5/5/2015by demCasual Cyclistcentral illinois4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.This was the only viable viable replacement tires I found at a reasonable price for old Schwinn rims.As mentioned these were the only viable replacement tires I found for my old Schwinn Collegiate with 26 x 1 38 tires on Schwinn rims. The tires I replaced were gum walls which I would like to have retained. The black walls are O.K. byt I would have preferred the gum walls. They (Kendas) fit but were difficult to mount on rims in even manner. I had to massage each several time all around to allow mount to rims with even sidewalls no high and low areas causing lumps when rotated. If such uneven mount transpired on a motor vehicle the inbalance would cause the complete inability to control the vehicle and the ride motions would be nauseating.

Review by CarrollReviewed 12/8/2017by CarrollSouth Carolina5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Great price and perfect fitI ordered these for my 1977 Schwinn Breeze. I did a good bit of research before the purchase. I called and spoke with customer service and he did try to point me to another tire that would not have fit. I checked again and decided to go with these tires. They were perfect. My vintage bike is like brand new.

Review by DaveReviewed 12/18/2014by DaveCycling EnthusiastTempe, AZHard to seat evenly so the tire runs true but it's the only tire left for our old Schwinns.The problem with these Chinese Schwinn-sized tires is that it is extremely difficult to seat them on the rims so they will run true. There is always one area of the tire that sits low or high on the rim causing a thumping ride. With a number of tries, inflating and deflating and pulling on them, it's possible to make them tolerably round but far from perfect. If I wasn't appreciative that Schwinn-sized tires were still made, I'd rate them lower, but they're better than nothing.
