Could someone please suggest an inexpensive tire in 27 1-1/4 size suitable mainly for road, with some light non road rougher use ? Thanks

The Cheng Shin C637 Road Bike Tire (Wire Bead, 27" x 1-1/4", Gum Wall) is about as good as any for all around good economy and decent performance. I use these on the back of my recumbent bike and usually get about 5000 miles on them.

I really like the BFGoodrch All Terrain tires. They are very good in driving in the snow, especially at this time of the year.

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

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.

These tires are NOT tubeless ready. Those versions are typically around $80 ish.

I have them in 700x28 with UltegraBrakes with plenty of clearance. This is a good tour tire not a road race tire.

The 23mm width tires should fit most standard clincher road rims. 25mm should be fine also. If you go to 28mm tires, they may rub the frame.

With a 32 tire, I'd probably not pick the 25-32 tube because this means the rubber will be stretched quite thin and the tube is likely to not last very long. I'd go with one that's 700c x 28-32mm. It might also be wise to Go to your LBS and get the right fit for your tires and go from there.

These tires are a "hybrid" of sorts. The sidewall of the tires reads (40-622) 700X38C. The width is approx 1 1/8"; my son's mountain bike tires measure 2 1/4"... a road bike tire is approx 7/8". The tread pattern is more of a v-tread design with a tread depth of about 1/16"; a mountain bike tire is knobby with a depth of 1/4"... a road bike is a straight tread with a depth of 1/32" or less. These tires are suitable for surfaces which are paved, packed cinder/dirt or low-cut grass. I wouldn't consider doing any serious "off-roading" with these tires due to their relatively narrow width and shallow tread depth. I took a couple of pictures; but, I can't upload them in this forum. I hope this helps.

You don't want to put more liner in than you need. 29 inches of liner in a 26 inch tire. Nor do you want too skinny liner if your tires are fat, or too wide liner if your tires are skinny. Your tire should have a size written on the side. Get liners that have a range that includes your tire size. 700 is a road biking tire size. it is however identical in diameter to a 29 inch tire...622mm in diameter. the 700 are generally more narrow for skinny road biking rims. You probably want blue for very skinny 26 inch tires, Silver is for "regular" or "normal" width 26 inch tires, and brown is for the wider 26 inch tires. I have a mountain bike with very wide tires and run the brown. You don't want to put more liner in than you need. 29 inches of liner in a 26 inch tire.

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

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.

This only comes in 26". You can find some decent ones from Forte on performance.com. I recommend the Tsali, it does every terrain for me. There is a 29x2.2 tire for $31 and 60 tpi protection and dual compound.

John H. answer below is comprehensive, and they are definitely not a mountain bike tire, but I am planning to eventually replace them with a slightly more road less mountain oriented tread design in the hope of getting a lower rolling resistance.

26" x 1.9 good tires but more for fire road or pav very simple tires I think the brand is good WTB but low profile

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.
