Do these wheels hold up well on roads? We don't have pavements where we live and the roads aren't super smooth either.

The Joovy Tricycoo has been used on city sidewalks and on grass without any problems; however, not on bumpy roads. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question. My son was initially worried about the tires of the trike wearning down after use, but since it was purchased in June, 2013 and used VERY frequently, the tires are holding up nicely. The entire bike is well constructed and will endure the play of an active toddler. Perhaps you may wish to contact the manufacturer directly about the trike's endurance.

Yeah, the wheels are pretty good; the squeak may bother you. Here is what I found, if you look the pedals - meaning that your kid cant/wont pedal - it doesnt squeak. So your trike is not an annoyance to you and you are not an annoyance to the other pedestrians. If you, on the other hand, *not* lock the wheel - which is definitely more fun for the older kids, once they figure out the pedaling - it (the squeak) can become really unbearable. Having said that, your kid may not mind it as much as you do, at least thats the case with mine.Anyways, back to the wheels, they seem to be well made. It's been almost an year and they have served pretty well for us, no issues. Yeah, the wheels are pretty good; the squeak may bother you.

I think they will because the tires are a rubbery plastic. It will be hard to push on that type of surface it's hard on smooth pavement. The little tykes or fisher price, mot sure of name brand, all plastic car with push handle would work much better. Hope that helps.

I don't have cyclocross experience, but these wheels feel just as strong as my other sets (mavic and shimano) and they have gone well in some filthy/rainy rides with no issues with sand and dirt getting into the bearings. For the money, I'd give them a try for cyclocross.

Yes they do have a light road vibration but not much. I ride these more on the road than on the dirt, I like the track for road riding

The tires are as thin as road tires, but they have off-road profile. It actually is 40c, but it's not he rugged thick wheel you might be thinking of.

I don't know, we don't go on dirt roads, but sure seems durable enough to take them as long as they are sandy

We only have tried solid tires and they seem fine. So far use has been light and on sidewalks only. Our 2-year old did not take to peddling quickly, so not much to go on yet, but I suspect, based on the design of pedals and cranks, that this is not designed to go so fast as to warrant air tires.

We haven't had a problem with the wheels get stuck. It handles well on sidewalks.

They are better than the factory tires but they are still just an "all terrain" tire. They aren't really great in mud. Sand ok. I live in Florida and we have plenty of both.

little bit heavy but I ride mostly on broken pavement, road bike wheels and tires don't hold up. these tires are quieter and better traction than nobby on pavement. Never had a flat with these.

I have them on my 2007 Suburban and really like them. I have close to 40,000 miles on them and they still have good tread. The vehicle handles well with these tires to.

nah, they tend to skip and hop when I try to slide with them. You CAN slide with them, in fact I learned how to slide with them. They're just not great for it. They're great cruising wheels, they're big and soft and they keep momentum well.

had mine for about 3 months and still running pretty good. I might need to change the wheels in about a month though.

In my experience the tires are very durable, but they're also essentially slicks with no real gripping power. If the gravel is loose, traction on turns and hills could be a problem. Packed gravel or dirt should be fine... mud would be a problem, though.

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

These tires ride fairly quick...not like knobby tires. Good tires that hold up very well.

Ours aren't smooth either but once our daughter got the hang of maneuvering around cracks she does great! Great outdoor skates! I recommend getting an extra set of wheels like we did so she can use them at indoor rinks!

not super well, the wheels can slip a little bit, however, I simply put some grip tape that you can buy here on Amazon or at a local hardware store and it solved the problem. It works great outdoors on the sidewalks though without the tape
