WTBThickSlick Comp 29 Inch Urban Tire(Return to Product Page)

I am running these on a Trek Marlin 5. 100% of my riding is urban. So mostly streets, but also up and down stairs, curbs, etc. For city riding these are a great upgrade from knobbies. Much less rolling resistance, therefore faster. My one (pretty sizeable) disappointment is wet weather performance. WTB website explicitly says these tires are good for "bright and sunny or pouring rain"; however, my first time out in wet weather these tires couldn't hold on a turn and I took a pretty hard crash. To be clear, I was not riding aggressively, just taking a very standard corner. Wish they were better in the wet weather.
