Whats the size of the shipping package of this tire are they folded? and will it make my knobby MTB hardtail easier to pedal on road?

I don't remember the exact size of the container, but since these tires have Kevlar beads they can be folded into a relatively small box. They will definitely make your hard tail easier to ride on pavement. They are great tires! I have mine mounted on a Salsa hard-tail.

yes, they are folded and it makes a huge difference on road riding, a lot faster and smother, but just be careful if you have mixed riding (road / soft dirt) as they can be a little squirrely in soft material. They are awesome for their puncture resistance!!

These tires are folding Two tires will fit in a shoe box and OH HELL YAH your bike will go further faster smoother quieter on pavement with out looking goofy

Small package, tires are folded. They feel very smooth on the road and they are noiseless.

Small package. Yes, tires are folded. And yeeehaaaw! Fast on the road. You'll be an urban terror with these tires.

They come folded. They are about 6 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches. Yes. Will make your MTB *much* easier to ride on the road.

the box is about 12 x8x5.and yes it will be easier to pedal and you will pickup a little speed as well!

The tire becomes 1/4 in size when folded (it is flat and folded twice), and yes, the road becomes easier to ride! I recomend.

The tires are packaged folded so maybe they come in an 10x8 box. These tires will roll significantly easier on the road compared to your knobby tires. They are not cheap but are excellent tires.

Box size is appx 6x4x4 in IIRC as tires are folded. Appx 35% faster on street than knobbies when set to 80 PSI. In the dirt they do slip a bit on climbs at 35 PSI. On wet trails these Schwalbes are a tad, ah, exciting at speed -- that's the downside vs. knobbies. If your riding is > 70% on the road, these tyres are xlnt.

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, they will fit. These will NOT work as well off road as the knobby mountain bike tires that came on your bike, they are strictly tires meant for the road, paved trails, hard surfaces. They have, as the name implies, almost no tread(slick). I wonder, since you bought a mountain bike, why you would want a road bike tire? If you are riding only on the road, street, or pavement, why did you buy a mountain bike? I am confused.

The specs say it is a wire bead tire...so it is not a folding tire. Wire beads can be carefully twisted into a figure eight then folded to make them much smaller and packable to fit into a pannier or back pack...but I doubt you could get it into a typical under-seat pack. Good luck.

I replaced a tire on my grandsons bmx with it. Same size. The tread is different, more for road/concrete than dirt. Hope this helps.

The tires are 2 inches wide. They are a great road tire with excellent thorn protection and low rolling resistance. I have used mine on some dirt trails and they work OK but not as good as off road knobby tires. If the rails to trails surface is not loose, gravely or sandy it should work OK.

Tires are signifigantly smaller than mountain. I had to use smaller tubes to get the right fit. Your old MTB tubes will likely not fit.

The bike comes disassembled in a thin box. Both tires, the seat and the handle bar / forks are separate pieces. It should pack relatively well. Good luck!

They are pretty small I use them for when I ride my dirt bike. Folded up in the case, they are 4x3x2.

It folds at the mid point of the frame, making the front tire fit in between the back tire and the basket. Folded it is 28 inches wide, 34 inches long, and 36 inches tall. It also has to be put together from the box. I recommend that you not forget to use plenty of lube. Also take the rear axle apart and lube also. I wore the bearings out in the first week, and had to replace. Good bike in all, though. Have put 200 plus miles on it so far.

I have a Montague Paratrooper which is a full size folding mountain bike with 36" wheels (36" x 28" x 12). It bulges and it's heavy but it fits. I use the bag more for storage rather than travel.

It packs fairly small. When it arrives its packed pretty tight, if you didnt open it you probably would be fine. Its a great bag, I reinforced mine with heavy duty cardboard on the inside to protect my wheels better. I have a full on downhill bike and it is able to pack everything with ease, only have to remove the handlebars and pedals.

it is a fairly stiff tire. Not heavy, but built for rough terrain. I ride them on roads close to the beach, full of shell shards, stickers, etc. After many months of use, I have not had a problem with flats. Stiff, not flexible at all.

I no longer have the shipping package but it was pretty big. About the size of the bike frame.

They seem more of a road tire. I'm sure they'll work, but not as aggressive or thick as a mtn bike tire.

It was shipped as it is. No packing just the tire. What ever size the tire is that you purchase is the dimensions.
