Review by LunastarReviewed 9/7/2019by LunastarMonterey Bay, central California 1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Rolls like a 40$ tire!I have a collection of 1980 era 27 wheel bike, Univega and Miyatas. This is the BEST deal on a tire that is round and sets into the rim well. I really like them and will buy again!

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/16/2019by AnonymousCasual CyclistCentral Virginia1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Tire appears to be of good quality and was easily installed. This was the first tire I've installed in 20 years. I revived my old bicycle from 1972. It was the also the first tire I've seen folded into a box. No problems.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 3/10/2013by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPeoria, Illinois14 of 16 customers found this review helpful.Nice tires for upgrading older bikes with 27inch wheelsI have these (two pair) tires on two separate older Schwinn bikes. I have probably 2000 miles total with no flats. As some of the other reviewers noted, you do need hook beaded rims to run up to the maximum pressure recommended. I have not had any issues with the tires coming off the rims.

Review by Veggiebike108Reviewed 12/25/2011by Veggiebike108Cycling EnthusiastPortland, OR27 of 27 customers found this review helpful.No hooks needed!I reviewed these 2 years ago. Finally need replacing. A great tire for a great price!! They have never come off my smooth wall rims, just need to take an extra moment on install to line up the tire around the rim. Over 4000 miles of the worst roads Portland has to offer, from 104 degrees to 13 degrees, these tires have pulled their weight for being so inexpensive. I hop curbs at least a few times a week, and hit 45mph on my commute everyday (got to love long down hills). The red is just starting to show in the center of the tire, still not flatting!!!

Review by John in RoseburgReviewed 8/5/2009by John in RoseburgCycling Enthusiast20 of 20 customers found this review helpful.Great tire Great valueI bought these tires for a 70's Schwinn 12 speed. You can't buy a better tire than Schwalbe in my opinion and these tires are a great value. They look awesome on the bike too.

Review by Veggiebike108Reviewed 7/17/2009by Veggiebike108Cycling EnthusiastPortland, OR28 of 28 customers found this review helpful.Great, tough, cheap tire...I have put a few hundred miles on these tires commuting with a 70' road bike. Other than one poor tire install, resulting in destroyed tube, these tire are great!!! I'm around 200lbs and there is lots of broken glass on my 10 mile each way commute. No flats do to glass or other objects. I'll be getting these tires again when mine wear out. Great in the rain too!!! The whitish sidewalls add to the 70's bike style.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 3/15/2021by AnonymousEastern WashingtonClassic looks and toughClassic design and dimensions with modern durability and quality. I needed 27x1 1/4 tires for my vintage Raleigh that has Campy hubs and Mavic wheels that I had built up in the late 1980s from what was then already NOS. There are few options anymore, but these fit the bill and they look like the original tires. It is not an actual gumwall, but it looks the same, and it is tougher and longer lasting than the Panaracers that I had before. Good tread design makes these useful for shoulder-season riding on my Raleigh Grand Prix--reminds me of when that bike was new and faster than most other bikes that I encountered out on the roads.
