Is this a folding tire? Photo shows a wire beaded tire, which certainly does not fold.

They were for me. I ordered two of them and they were folding, just like it says in the description.

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.

No I Dont think it does. I gave to my aunt as bday gift. I do know that it folds flat. Its great for small dogs @ the park! Lots of compliments also :)

Justin, no, it does not fold up. However, the rails where the bike wheels go fold up

Yes. However, the one I received would not unfold into a flat surface. (It was raised in the middle where the folding seam is).

They are folding tires, but the Michelin website claims they are foldable bead. Hope that helps.

If you go to the website there is a photo that shows it folded up. I don't fold mine up.

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

It is NOT a folding device. It can be lifted by the handle near the foot end of the device and rolled where ever you want the device, but it does not fold up.

It doesn't fold, but it does flip up on end which gives it a pretty small footprint, and you can also easily roll it around that way.

I am responding to this question via a link sent by Amazon. As someone who has purchased this product, I can tell you it will NOT have a tire or tube. Please also be aware that the picture I am seeing is not the product you will receive. Not sure how the wrong picture is loaded, but the image I see is a black rear wheel of much higher quality. Anyway, as a rule of thumb: wheels do not come with tire, or tube.

No. Mine came in an oversized box. Since the majority of the inside of the box was air, the box was heavily damaged but the tire was not.

The size is the same. (I think these come from different vendors...check the vendor when you select the size and see if it changes) I think the main thing to look for is if the tire is foldable or not. I bought the non-folding tires. They are a little heavier, but cost less. Folding tires cost a bit more, but are more expensive. You have to really look at the weight between the tires to tell them apart. I think the 700x23c are 280 grams for non folding and 230 grams for the folding. I am a big guy, so weight isn't an issue. I'm 6'5" 225lbs and these work great. I just did a half Ironman triathlon with them and had no issues.

No, this one isn't foldable. It works well, but what you see is what you get. In my searching for this one, I never encountered a folding one. If you ever find one, I'd be interested.

They shipped the tires to me unfolded in a huge box. There is a wire in the bead of the tire so I doubt they can be folded.

Yes, it is. It is mostly just a matter of putting the wheels on. There is a Velcro piece that is wrapped around the bottom bar and I couldn't find it! It was tucked under the bottom portion. I would give the instructions a 6 out of 10. The photography was not good and it was hard to tell what they were doing in the photos. But I cannot figure out how to fold it. I hope it will fit in my car without folding because those instructions are not good.

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.
