What's the difference between the Deluxe, Elite Urban, and Sport? Looking for a commuting tire that is durable and puncture resistant.

The difference is the quality of tire and the puncture protection. Sport is the low-end with 2x the puncture resistance. Next is the Deluxe with an additional Durastrip puncture protection. Finally, you have the Elite Urban which has an Urban Armor Casing protection. You can see the differences from their website: http://www.freedombicycle.com/project/thickslick/

I thought I read there was a difference in the tires..pneumatic tires for all terrain???

IMHO it corners better than any tire I've ever had except for maybe a Minion DH. I ride mostly hardpack with some rocks and roots, and usually dry conditions. I consider it an excellent front tire and an average rear tire.

The Cooper Zeon are a six ply sport tire. Do a lot of hunting and mild off road. Cannot recommend this tire. I bought Cooper St Maxx 10 ply 17" with new rims. Wanted to get away from 20" tires. No tread depth and more expensive.

I'd recommend getting a jogger, or the City Mini GT with the forever air tires. The forever air tires are made to go on any pavement / grass, etc. Hope this helps.

The Touring Plus comes in different sizes one being the 700X32, which is what I run. I think it is an excellent road tire, however I would not think it would be a good trail tire. The tread is not that aggressive. I suppose if the trail were dry and flat and you were riding slow it would be OK. A small part of my commute is on a dirt trail beside a high traffic road, however I take that section SLOW and it is only a couple hundred yards.

1 tire but if you compare prices from other places I found they are considerably cheaper. They are great tires had mine since last fall and haven't had any problems and still have awesome tread and I drive ALOT! I would recommend them and so would my fiancé (who's a car guy)

A5 is good for the money. have 3. Many miles with no critical failures. The Know-Ped is really solid/well built (have 1) but the soft rubber tires, while cushy, force u to work harder, and ur speeds are significantly slower. I use the Go-Ped more for foolin around but the A5 is much better IMO for distance/speed. Xootr MG scoot commin Tuesday, and I'm hoping its at least 3 times better (costs over 3 xs the A5) than the A5.UPDATEThe A5 is a great scoot for the money. With that said, however, I just ordered a second Xootr - Venus this time, rather than another MG, but I almost went with the narrow (similar to the A5 deck) Roma. A5 is good for the money. have 3.

Hi, The Fender Metro is definitely a bit higher end. A little over a year ago, the Fender Deluxe bags were discontinued and replaced. However, some dealers still have stock. I'd say the Deluxe is a great value if you can still find one. As I said though, the Metro is definitely nicer so if you don't mind spending the extra $$ then go for the metro. However, if you are on a budget, the Deluxe is actually a really nice bag. Good luck!

I don't understand where people come up with things. It's a 23 mm tire that holds 150 psi. I run them at 120. Where does "comfort" or "harsh" fit in here? They handle as well as the Michelin Pro Racers I used to ride, they're cheaper, and they last 3-4 times as long.

Kevlar tires are foldable and easier to install. They are also much more resistant to flats. Spend the extra money, you won't be disappointed.

I have used tbese tires last years snow removal. They are awesoe great traction. However li m e any tire weight is the key. Tires are great in every seaso. This is my first season wowing grass with them and there awesoe.

William: I would suggest buying the FR1030. About twice the price, but a much better tire. The garden cart purchased from H. Depot is holding up well, but the tires are the first to go. I feel with FR1030 tires that my cart will last longer than if I had purchased a new cart.

Go on several web sites and check which tire is best for you. That is how I found out which one was best for my Class B camper.

The focus of these tires is less on speed and more on durability/puncture-proofing. As such, they are a little heavily than a tire that is geared specifically toward racing. These would make good training tires.

These tires certainly fit nicely on your first THREE requirements (primarily road, fast rolling, and strong :-) , but the tires do lack any meaningful tread pattern as they were not designed for off road or turf conditions. That said, as long as the dirt is packed down and dry, I have been able to occasionally hit the dirt, but of course don't push these in corners because lack of knobs.cheers, Joe T
