Good on the road, trails

I ride mostly on trails and I find that this allows for a smooth ride without picking up lots of stuff in the tread

Thank you for your feedback.

Performs well on pavement and minor hard-pack

Used for around-town commuting, with occasional light trail use. Works great, rolls easy, all around good tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

Roll much nicer than knobbies on asphalt.

My wife chose these to replace a pair of knobbies on her old mountain bike. Tbey showed up at our door in a timely manner. They were easy to mount. My wife is pleased with the way they roll on asphalt, very little rolling resistance. We spend most of our time on paved trails these days, but i think these will work well when we ride forestry roads and easy off road trails.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great All-purpose tire for the price

Replaced the original tires on my Schwinn Sierra with these tires a couple years ago. Immediately noticed a significant reduction in rolling resistance. No noticeable loss of traction in wet conditions, sand, etc. I added heavy-duty tubes about a year ago and have had no flats to date. I usually try to keep them inflated to around 65 psi and only need to re-inflate every three to four weeks. I would recommend these tires for anyone who needs a good all-around tire for a reasonable price.

Thank you for your feedback.

Bike Path Perfection

These replaced the balloon 2.5" tires on my bmx cruiser that were just too slow. The narrower 1.75", high psi, and grippy tread are optimal. Price was good too, very pleased.

Thank you for your feedback.

A Great Commute Tire

My wife uses these on her commute bike ('92 Bridgestone MB-2) riding mostly on pavement, but about a mile each day on gravel. She generally gets 4-6K on them if I rotate. Lately, I've just been replacing the rear when the tread gets thin enough to make broken glass an issue. Stan's No Tubes works really well even though these are not rated as tubeless.

For gnarly riding, we switch wheel sets to Richey off road rubber.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Value. A smooth consistent ride.

I put these on my 59' Schwinn Jaguar with red rims. They look and perform beyond expectations.

Love these tires

Love these tires. Low rolling resistance, and very good traction on wet & dry pavement and dirt. Replaced a hybrid tire that was slick with side knobs. This is quieter, with better traction. With lower pressure a very comfortable ride. Couldn't be more pleased with this upgrade.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Choice

A safe yet versatile tire was needed for asphalt,, hard and loose dirt, and gravel but yet remain comfortable. I have found this tire the best to date for the more than average hybrid rider

Thank you for your feedback.

Rolls nicely. Decent grip during turns.

New tires for a 30 year old DiamondBack mountain bike. The ride is smooth. Grips nicely during turns. Off-path is ok but tread plugs quickly if muddy.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great gravel, jeep road tire

I put these on a full suspension mtb that I put drop bars on for gravel and jeep road rides. I run them around 45 psi and they handle everything.

Newbie, but I like this tire.

I had knobbies on my bike before and needed something for paved trails and roads. This tire is nice and quiet and rides better than my old one's. So far so good.

I ride my mountain bike more on asphalt than in the mountains. This product meets and exceeds that expectation.

I am in the process of converting my mountain into like a hybrid. I can now move forward with this project because the tires was a concern of mine. Quality fer sure!

Very good traction and comfort. for the city

I bought 5 sets of these tires as I refurbish older model mountain and hybrid bikes. These are a pretty good all around tire for riding short or long distance in the city. The only downfall is that they tend to collect a lot of small rocks in the grooves if you go on a trail. I got mine on this site as a clearance item and at that price I would buy many more. They are now back up to about [$] or so last time I checked.

Thank you for your feedback.

The alternative to knobbies

My 20-something daughter, a biking novice, was training on an old hardtail mountain bike for a community bike ride on a very hilly road course. She was struggling with the hills. I got her the Country Rocks and she mounted them (easy to mount - it was her first experience changing tires) and started flying up the hills. If you want to convert from singletrack to pavement, get these tires. And at this price, they're worth having on hand for your mountain bike for when a change-out makes sense.

Thank you for your feedback.

Wow! Virtually silenced my bike... And fast rolling

I mostly ride on street with an occasional trip on a trail. I replaced my Specialized Enduro 26x2.20 aggressive off road tires with a set of theses. Visually it was a bit shocking shaving off nearly a half inch of width....I'll get used to it. (Already have) .

My first ride with these tires was in the rain. Excellent grip on wet asphalt, cornered with confidence. So smooth and silent, fast rolling compared to my knobbies, it was like riding a new bike.

Haven't ridden any trails yet... I'll review the off-road capabilities at a later date. But for MTB/street, I HIGHLY Recomend these tires.

Thank you for your feedback.
