Is this a clincher tire?

Yes, and I also put this comment after Mauro's. The tire can be a beast to get on (and off), but I recently had good luck with a tactic that can work in addition to Mauro's. I stood on the tire with one foot and had my son pull up on it for awhile (using a magazine for "cushioning")--nearly lifting my 180 lbs. off the ground. The tire went on way more easily than in my last battle.

Yes it is, and will not go on the rim without a good fight. I installed mine on a Campagnolo Scirocco G3. Suggestion: Take it out of the box (and unfold) one day before, when ready to mount warm it up (hair blower) and lubricate (talcum powder aka baby powder). Good luck.

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

The kenda tires are good i would def. Buy another set ive had them about a year they get a little choppy but rotation is key. Great tire.

no! it is a extra strong 2 ply tire. i run it on a 2,000# toro diesel 223d groundmaster. it is the same tire that came on it new in 2000. i am very pleased with them!

The company says that are 3 layers of 110 tpi each ! It seems a lot. Anyway, it is not a tire that will expend neither deform with max pressure 120lbs. The 4000s tire is a very good tire . The Vectran layer is good but it is not the best puncture layer I have seen.

I have a 'Specialized Expedition' bike on my trainer with 26 x 1.95 tires , and have found that the tire wear is somewhat greater than normal road wear, however, the key is maintaining the proper tension and tire pressure to insure longer tire wear.

The one i ordered was. Its a great tire! Good bite in the corners. I think amazon puts the review on the tire regardless of size

Originally I had a Maxxis crossmark tire on the front of my Santa Cruz Superlight I purchased the Maxxis Ardent because of the width, wanted more bite in the front end. I think it's more predictable and has a much better bite and is more confidence aspiring. perhaps in extremely hard terrain it may be a little more skittish it works fine in medium and soft soils for me, we ride mostly in medium soil to almost sand. It's a great tire for that, sorry I can't offer you more info as I just haven't been in hard surfaces. Ride On.....

The thread is most likely different because this a gum wall 27 inch tire and not a regular 700c. You can ride these at lower pressure but that's not always advantageous. they have less rolling resistance and better handling but are way thinner. You will get flats. I havs gotten flats from staples and thorns. These have a great look for a restoration project for city touring. If you want to be indestructible. Go for some Gatorskins. They don't look as good but flats are far more rare. I believe there are also Panaracers with Kevlar.

The tires I received are marked four ply on the side wall. When I mounted them on the wheels they sure felt stiff like four ply tires. The original turf tires I took off have a much lighter casing and are not nearly as heavy. Whatever they are, get a set and you won't be sorry.

Yes. I've been using these in many sizes for years. No flats, high pressure, dependable tire.

The photo is the extended anvil version. I works better for truck tires but won't get into tight places.

I use the 25mm for a more supple ride and according to the latest research a wider tire (within limits) has less rolling resistance. The weight isn't as much a factor for me and I run Mr. Tuffy ultra-light tire liners in these for added protection because flats just ruin a good ride.

Not really, but a really tough street tire and good for touring, I have used them on a couple of my bikes for several years and have never had a flat. Currently running them on the streets of Eastern LA, CA and they have never let me down. They are hard to mount the first time and I recommend some really tough levers, I broke a whole set of cheap ones before splurging for a good set.

I wish i could say yes or no. Your model looks bigger then mine. To be honest since it was just one weight i never went to trouble of trying it on mine. I just bought some aggressive rear tire . sorry i am no help.

I would say so. I run a used car dealership and we never have problems with this tire on any car we put them on.

Yes, they are folding bead tires. All Clinchers are beaded, folding tires have Kevlar or Aramid beads, and the non-folding tires have steel wire beads.
