Switched out my knobbies on my carbon MTB hardtail for 29 x 2.1 thickslicks with TPU tubes. I am a roadie so MTB is ridden on tarmac and sidewalks after work in South Florida when it's too dark to safely ride my road bike on most roads so no gravel or trail riding. By a landslide + a mile, the most noticeable improvement i have ever made to any of my bikes. More improvement than upgrading to carbon aero wheels on my road bike you ask? YES! At 35 psi, handles sidewalk cracks and bumps like your riding on your softest pillow. Easily gained 1-2 mph at the same watts vs. the old tires due to the substantially lower rolling resistance. HIGHLY recommend this tire for this type of city riding. Not enough miles ridden yet to measure puncture resistance but I don't think that will be an issue from the other reviews. Why did I wait so long is all I can ask myself. Enjoy your ride.

These tires are awesome. The low rolling resistance is noticeable compared to my old knobby tires. I'm able to ride around my city in confidence and can now keep up with people with better gearing. They look great too. Lots of people prefer to remove the lettering, but I think the bright white decals give off a great vintage vibe. The rubber feels tough as well. Looking forward to the next ride with these on. Highly recommend.

La recomiendo bastante se lo puse a mi bici fixie, tenía 700x25c y yo compre 700x28c, le quedó sin problemas. Se siente menos resistencia al rodar, evidentemente depende mucho el terreno pero las partes donde el pavimento es parejo se fluye bien. La estaré monitoreando pero estoy muy satisfecho además la había cotizado en tiendas locales en 750 pesos y me salio en 560. Envío rápido.

After much research and reading as much as I can about these tires, I decided to give the ThickSlicks a try on my 27.5" MTB, and it was a total Win~!99% of my riding takes place on smooth bikeways, such as the 50-mile-long Santa Ana River Trail (SART), and the ThickSlicks are perfectly designed for such surfaces. The tires are heavier than my previous Continental X-King MTB tires that came with my wheelset, but once you get the ThickSlicks rolling, they glide effortlessly and quietly.I took the tires on some hardpack dirt trails and they performed fine. I did have to be more careful, though, when cornering and when going through deeper sand spots.The tires were easy to mount onto my 25mm inner width wheels and they didn't give me any trouble.I recently did a 41-mile ride from a city to the beaches then back, and the ThickSlicks increased my average speed and reduced leg fatigue compared to riding on the knobby MTB tires.I would definitely keep on buying the ThickSlicks. 5 Star Win~! 😍

J'ai acheté deux pneus et un était cassé, j'ai demandé un changement ou un remboursement mais les délais techniques étaient expirés... J'aurais dû le monter tout de suite pour m'en rendre compte tout de suite, mais il n'en demeure pas moins qu'il était cassé.

I can only review it for indoor usage, so I can't say anything about puncture resistance or even durability. But for indoor use, this is the best tire I've used. I actually got a second wheel and cassette so I could use this tire indoors. I have a basement office that I share with my wife when we work from home and although it's a fairly large basement with several doors between her space and mine, the noise from indoor biking was disturbing her. Which was a problem because I like to hop on my indoor bike at least once a day when I have a bit of break so it couldn't always be afterhours. The worst was when I had my MTB on the trainer. It was converted to a hybrid some time ago with a much gentler looking tires but the noise was still tremendous. Even my road bike with Conti GP 5000TL was noisier than she'd like. But this tire has almost eliminated all wheel/tire noise. The whine from the motor (mag resistance trainer) still remains but it's pretty well muffled by the doors and nowhere near as annoying as it used to be. For me, I can actually hear what the trainers are saying on iFit and hear the sound from Zwift, plus the TV I have playing.Add to that its very reasonable price and it's a winner. As for swapping out the wheels, get something like KMC Missing Link and it's pretty easy. My bike chain actually came with a SRAM link but I didn't know so I have two links on the chain... Oops... So look for that if you go that route.UPDATE: so I bought another one and equipped my Cannondale F29 Caffeine MTB front and back. And I'm really happy. I wasn't sure about the traction of a slick but they grip really well, although the roadway was dry. And the low rolling resistance made pedaling much easier and the bike faster than I remembered. I'm going to upgrade to a lighter wheelset and use the MTB (now a hybrid, I guess) as my touring bike instead of my road bike. I'm really happy with this purchase.

These tires transformed my old mountain bike into a fun and efficient city bike. I pumped them up to 60 psi (65 is the max) and pedaling on pavement and over potholes has never been easier. The thick bulbous shape helps them perform fairly well on dirt and gravel trails as well. I would highly recommend these as an easy way to turn an old MTB into a city commuter. The logo is printed on the inside of the bulge, which leads me to believe that they should stay relatively unblemished for a long time. The look of these tires is DEFINITELY unique and noticeable, with the large branding. People notice and comment on these tires. It's up to you whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing.Fit: These tires are certainly slick and very thick! Make sure the tubes you pair them with can go larger than 2". These tires are wider and taller and take up much more space than the old knobbly 1.95" MTB tires that I replaced with them. They have a wide range of inflation pressures available, which means you have a lot of control to tune your ride from soft to hard. They shipped in huge full big square boxes (*not* rolled up), and they popped onto my 26" rims pretty easily. Please look up how to change a bicycle tire before complaining about tires being difficult to install; these were very easy to install.
