Where to Buy
Reviews You get what you pay for.  by: on: 24-Oct 2010 I seem to have gotten a correctly sized tire, (From Niagra) although it took a lot of fiddling to get it to center correctly on the rim. Maybe it isn't correctly sized, by I had to fight with it to get it on the rim, so it doesn't seem to be oversized. My main gripe is that this tire is not precision made at all, and appears to wobble a bit. It's hard for me to be certain, since few roads are smooth enough to test it properly, but I seem to sense an annoying rhythmic pulse (once per revolution) when riding, even after repeated attempts to center it with slightly inflated tube. Also, the recommended maximum inflation is only 55 PSI. Talk about rolling resistance! At that pressure, I'm gasping. However, I overinflate to 65 PSI and haven't blown it out yet (after one season). But at the higher pressure it tends to skid when stopping quickly (it has almost a slick tread). I've had three flats (all were tiny glass shards) in one season of casual use. Very aggravating. So, performance is totally absent with this tire and I'm going to try another tire brand/model and send this one to the land fill. Another lovely product of China. cheap tire by: on: 24-Oct 2010 I seem to have gotten a correctly sized tire, although it took a bit of fiddling to get it to seat correctly on the rim. My main gripe is that it is not precision made at all, and appears to wobble a bit when rotating.

The size stamped on the side does not match the actual size. this isn't what was advertised by: on: 21-Oct 2009 This is going to sound strange, but these tires were advertised as 26 x 1 3/8, but they measured out to 27 inches. They even said 26 inch on the side. I ended up having to take them to a bike shop that confirmed my issue and i bought the tires from the bike shop and ended up returning these. what else can i say?
