I purchased the elite Urban and am highly satisfied with it. ���I have a 700c x 28c on the rear tire of my fixie and mainly use the road but I wouldn't be afraid to ride on the sidewalk where all the broken glass and gravel is with this tire!

I see that the tire size is 32 width. If this is correct, I would probably get the hybrid sized fenders. That is what I have on my Bad Boy with 28 size tired, but I plan to use 32's in the future. If you plan on using skinnier tires, then you may want to go with the road size fenders. The hybrids will ensure that you stay dry though. I love mine. I ride in the rain all of the time.

For street and highway use this tire handles superbly. Excellent traction on wet and dry pavement yet smooth and quiet ride. On snow I had my reservations but with the 4WD and anti-lock brakes no problem. I drive an 09 chevy Silverado pickup in New Jersey. Put 104,000 miles on my first set. Just purchased my second set.

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.

Yes it's well worth it.. I love ThickSlicks since my first purchase.. (2012). The Elite has a more dense "DuraStrip".. (Puncture resistant).. I ride a track bike in the streets with "NO BRAKES"..I have had them both and have used Elite down to the liner.. Great tire, spend the $4.Hope this was helpful..

I've had this tire on dirt roads as well as "rails to trails" bike paths. It handles both fine. Depending on the consistency of the dirt road, and how much of your riding is off pavement, you might want to consider a beefier tire (or a mountain bike), but if you "dirty trail" riding is relatively small stretches between long ribbons of pavement, you'll be fine. As far as the compatibility question goes, brand doesn't matter; it's all about the size.

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.

You would be better off with a tire with more tread. These tires are slicks for the most part with light tread on the sidewalls. I would consider cyclecross style tires or something that has a tread pattern designed for the winter.

It's an excellent street tire. I have had them on my cruiser for 3 years now and they still look and ride like new. Very smooth ride.

It really depends on the surface you ride on; I would say this is a mud tire. I have since moved on to small block 8 tire for the front and the back. They are great for more hard pack surface and seem to be more consistent in cornering. The k850 seems to kind of collapse a bit during hard cornering. Do keep in mind that I am 6' 1" and around 200lbs, which is a lot of pressure at speed in a corner.

Goodyear wrangler is an average good tire for everyday use ,if you are looking for exception handling and grip try this AISIN B004QL6KOY . We are not the least expensive you can buy from other vendors ,just don't get too old.

These tires are not whitewalls. However, they are a really good tire for rougher surfaces than city streets. I ride on some trails and old train beds where the rails have been removed.

They are a very good choice for a hybrid but take a look at the slightly more expensive Kenda K841A tires with a hybrid tread and K-Shield puncture protection.

Living in the great north west, I can say they're awesome. Drive through rain all winter long with no issues and trucked through snow with ease. As long as you respect the element, these tires will keep you happy and safe.

I currently have a HED Clincher Wheelset and these are the tires I use, light and very responsive / great tires.
