Fantastic quality for the price, no more flats!
Purchased to replace the stock tires that came on my Walmart special bike after several flats. I live in El Paso and every time I rode on the old tires I would get flats from goat heads. If you don't know what those are consider yourself lucky. Anyways, after seeing the price on these I decided to upgrade. They are much thicker than the normal tires and I rode for two hours today with zero flats.In the picture the dirty tire is the new one after riding all day, the stock one is the cleaner one. You can see how much thicker the tread is.Additionally I'd like to add that each tire came in its own huge box (pictured) so any reviews that say they were warped from shipping must be old.Would definitely recommend and purchase again. If I get a flat I'll update this review.

I contemplatee getting these for awhile now... Glad i did. The grip and traction are incredible beyond belief. It's a very mild upsize in width which in return adds to surface grip on the ride. Taking sharp asphalt turns requires some slight adjustment from standard mountain bike tires but overall wirth the money.

Downside would be having to buy two to get two. I do wish they came in a pack of two instead of singles. With that said once you try these and witness the quality the individual tire purchases are totally worth it.

This is basically impossible to mount...had to pay a bike store to mount and unmount with a special wrnch only LBS HAVE.
So this means I cannot fix my own flats...and even at 2.4 inches...just will not fit
Made too ...too tight
