What is the difference between wire beaded and Kevlar belted ?650 tires
260320
Wire beaded refers to the edges of the tire where the air seal occurs. Most tires are constructed with steel cable (wire), some use Kevlar cord instead. Kevlar belted tires have a Kevlar belt running inside and along the tread area to reduce the risk of puncture.

I'm going to bypass all the technical stuff. If you look at the Performance Bike website, they sell wire bead and Kevlar foldable Gatorskin tires. They sell more wire beaded than Kevlar and both have approvals over 90%. I conclude that there's no performance difference. The only significant difference is that one can be folded and kept in a small bag while the other retains its circular shape. The ONLY reason I bought wire bead is that I find them easier to mount. Others seem to find foldables easier to mount. That has not been my experience. I think you'll be happy with either.

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.

Don't know. Google may have an answer for you. I use mainly 27" tires, FYI... Old school stuff.

Not the ones I got. They have a wire bead. They are good tires, made of a softer rubber, so they grip and are a smooth ride but they seem to wear pretty fast.

(DISCLAIMER: I am no tire expert) I don't believe the tire size (650mm, as measured by you) directly correlates to the 650c (or 700c) designation. If your rim says 700c, then get the 700 x 23. BTW, the size is also imprinted on the tire sidewall.

16 gauge wire. Smaller is bigger and for these purposes "better" insifar as it offers lower resistance

If you are asking what the numbers mean, 265 is width in mm, 70 is ratio of width to sidewall heigth and 18" is inside diameter of tire. This would take a Z-583 cable set which is what the type that I use and are very easy to install

Sorry I cannot tell you, I did not buy these Tires, I bought another brand. No matter what brand of tires you buy they usually do not wear out, 2ply or 4 ply. They just dry rot. Just like the battery you buy for a rideing mower, Usually after one year they just go bad, Unless you keep a trickle charger on it dureing the winter. Carlisle makes a good tire. Have a good day Wes

Your question is pretty vague. I'll try my best to help! This will be a wider tread than a 700x25 or 700x23. This will give you a bit more rubber between the road. Many newer road frames may not have clearance to support the 700x32, or it'll likely be a tight fit. Rolling resistance is greater than a slick tire, but I can also tell you the extra tread provides great all terrain travel. I use these on hard pack gravel with no issues, and no flats to date with 1K miles on them now.

Stephen is correct...the C is the load range on the tire. I don't know rating for C but you can google it or I would go with Stephen"s number

Bought from a "Used/Like New" seller and, while the tread looks the same, and they included a Schwinn box, the tire was an Innova without kevlar. So I'd avoid the Used offers.

Don't know. I buy road bike tires "Designed as a high mileage tire with excellent flat protection. Many refer to the Gatorskin as "Bullet Proof". A layer of Duraskin and an extra layer of Kevlar under the tread keeps flat protection to a maximum". I also just bought SLIME tubes that have a Presta valve - not installed yet.

The wire bead tires don't fold. The DuraSkin folders can be carried in a jersey pocket or a saddle bag, while the wire bead tires remain full-size, regardless of whether they're already installed.

The two are for a.differnt size range.of tires, the 65 is for smaller.tiresi have one on 8 inch rims and it will expand to.the size of a medium car.tire, the 75 will fit larger trailer tires. There is some over lap in the capabilities. I don't know the exact.specs, but you can go to the manufacturers website and the specs are listed.

KnuKonceptz wire is different because your actually a lot more copper wire. Knukonceptz 0 gauge is truely zero gauge. Cadence 0 ga is probably comparable to knukonceptz 4ga. Knukonceptz insulation is thinner (but just as strong) and does not make its wire look like its bigger in girth than it actually is like cadence or any other cheap brand does. Its also pretty flexible therefore easier to install in my opinion.

Most of these type belts are made with "Kevalor" which is the same type material that "bullet-Proof' vest are made of. I would expect the belt to last at least as long as a premium type belt. The reduction of vibration over the orginal type belt is well worth the increase in cost.

When you say tube, the tube size depends on the tire size. So, a 700x23 tire would take what you seem to be saying is a 20-25 tube. A 700x25 tire would require, obviously, the larger size tube. Having ridden both, my preference is definitely the "skinnier" tire--700x23. Might give up a little in comfort, but you will gain less rolling resistance.

The one I purchased was foldable. I am not sure if they make a wire bead in that tire. When you look at the listing it should specify either wire bead or folding.

The tires that came on mine were Kenda's 700x23. I did not like them at all. Replaced with a Continental gatorskin on front and a Schwelbe marathon (sp?) on back. Both of these far superior to the original equipment in my opinion.
