Foldable. So far over 1000 miles of mostly dirty bike lanes and just got my first flat from a stainless wire.

I don't know about the wire bead...mine says kevlar. Yes, it comes flat & folded which makes it difficult to keep inside the wheel rim while you try to keep the tube in place as you mount and fill it. I've purchased folded tires before and they weren't quite this difficult to work with - next time I might take a harder look at unfolded, pre-shaped tires. But it does perform like a great tire once mounted.

They must have two styles, or used text from other model. My Rubino Pro III was kevlar bead and foldable, but once in place was as durable as wire bead. It wasn't difficult to install, even initially, like some are. I will buy these again.

Yes, these tires are folding tires. They are packaged in smallish boxes, all folded up 4-6 times as I recall. Very good tires BTW.

The tires are 6ply. the tires I received were not the ones pictured to my surprise they were a better quality. The tires pictured are an ok quality and certainly a good value considering Northern Tool company sells them for about $90 each. I was very pleased with the price and the purchase.

Also .. I went to Discount Tire to order the spare tire . This did not come with the tire . Only what you see in the picture

It is the tire only. I assume they show it on a rim because they wanted to show it inflated. I had my local garage move it to my old rim.

I'm going to bypass all the technical stuff. If you look at the Performance Bike website, they sell wire bead and Kevlar foldable Gatorskin tires. They sell more wire beaded than Kevlar and both have approvals over 90%. I conclude that there's no performance difference. The only significant difference is that one can be folded and kept in a small bag while the other retains its circular shape. The ONLY reason I bought wire bead is that I find them easier to mount. Others seem to find foldables easier to mount. That has not been my experience. I think you'll be happy with either.

Is is a foldable tire. The Continental 4 season is NOT a wire bead tire. Not every folding tire contains Kevlar. Kevlar is a brand name. From information on other websites, the tire does not contain Kevlar. It is a folding tire that contains polyamide fibers and LCP (liquid crystal polymer). If you can access the Continental website, you will find more information. I purchased a pair and they are great for grip and durability.

The tires come in an amazingly small package. If memory serves me, each could easily fit in a 3" x 4" x 3" box since they are foldable. I have tube tires and the bead is flexible enough to fold over on itself. I am not sure if the tubeless version has the same feature.

this is not a "bead sealer" product, it is a tire mounting compound applied to the bead of a tire to ease the mounting of the tire onto the wheel.

That part number is a an Outlined White Letter Tire. If you don't want white letter, you are able to turn it around and mount the black side out.

No. This particular tire has a wire bead. Next to impossible to get on. Spend a little more money and get a foldable.

Folding. They have no wire bead. The tire seem to hold up pretty well.I have put over a 1,000 miles on them.
