Is it possible to fold these tires? I'm planning to ship them to a friend overseas and a 26x26 box would be bulky...

They will fold into quarters but you will have to bind them together with something strong to keep them folded.

Yes... But be aware that your friend will have to let them lay flat for awhile; perhaps in the sun light to flatten them out before putting them on the rim. I found this to help in installing them.

Hi Jose! I think it will be ok, I have had tires shipped to me rolled up in a ball and when you unroll them and let them sit there fine. patrick

Honestly couldn't tell you 100%. Mine arrived in a large box in their perfect circular shape. The wire bead may be affected if folded over so I'm guessing that's why it was packaged the way it was. Fantastic tire though.

we watched a video,lol. My husband folds it in half (longways) and starts by grabbing the bottom and cramming it into the storage bag...just keep cramming! don't try to be neat, stuff it and stuff it. It all fits in ! We have done it several times, don't be gently :) good luck !

Do me fold it? Cutting is not possible, because it's not completely firm. It has layers as explained in the description and only the top layer is firm. If you're actually thinking to cut it , it might not be a good idea. If you're getting a full size and thinking to carry it in your trailer trunk then it's definitely a good call. Hope this helps

Yes, I ordered 2 and they were rolled up in a shipping envelope. Surprised me when I got the package! They are a good tire for the money, but are definately for the street. They work on a not too rough path, but do not have much tread, so are easily punctured by thorns, etc. Had a flat first time off the pavement.

Yes, these tires are folding tires. They are packaged in smallish boxes, all folded up 4-6 times as I recall. Very good tires BTW.

No, you have to order each tire separately. Mine were delivered in a cardboard BOX, so the tires were not folded, they arrived full size and unfolded in their normal shape. I ordered TWO tires, well worth the money, I can't say enough GOOD things about the tires. I used them all NY winter long to ride on snowy roads and hills. They really GRIP !!! Love'em. I used the Slime brand 5x thick tubes,SEE HERE {BEST]:Slime 30046 Super Thick Self-Sealing Smart Tube, Schrader Valve (26 x 1.75-2.125") and makes for a great soft ride, and little chance of flat tires.

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 think it would be hard to fold up. Especially on a daily basis. Once you unwrap it from the way it's packaged to ship to you, it kind of wants to stay in that shape.

yes you can fold them , but it makes it so small an add shaped it takes forever to use them . a pain to use you have to go very slow

I didn't have any trouble folding it back up... bring both sides into the middle till they meet. Stomp out all excess air... then fold again continuing to push out all the air. Roll from short front end to back continuing to push out excess air. This should now fit back into the bag... add poles.

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

Hi, i bought it to my daughter and she said that the arcs are not só easy to fold, maybe you can transport them inside a baggage size M, and for sure in a size G. The base is very light and soft, easy to fold it up and carry. My grandson loved it.

I have packed it as a big flat circle without harming the original shape. I hesitate to fold it into a flat cone because I dislike rippled rims so much. Perhaps another owner has done this fold and can report.

No they can't be folded down. The smaller does fit into the larger one. Mine were sent to me as a pair.

As long as the wheels are straight, it can be pushed. Remember though, it cannot be folded unless the stabilizer bar is removed first.

Unless you are the incredible hulk, you won't be able to move it easily. It is super heavy, and it was near impossible shoving it no a box for returns. It doesn't fold, you have to fold it over and sit on it or put something heavy on it for it to stay folded.
