This tire seems to have a very low max PSI (58 PSI for the 26 x 1 1/2). Does it feel slugish to anyone?

This tire have 70 PSI max and thats more than enough for comfortable ride,I ride it mostly on side walks almost with same speed as on good road and this tire rocks.

I have 700c on my hybrid. I think its a compromise tire. I toured Idaho this year and was able to leave other road bikes at will. My only complaint is that i think the tires i got from the Amazon seller were old stock with dry rot after just one year.

You could go a bit higher, maybe 65lbs or so, but not much more than that. It is not a real road tire so it will feel a bit sluggish.
1782739
Not at all my friend. the only sluggish feel you'll experience is due the amount of width and heavy traction. which is expected. but man these tires handle like a champ.

I assume 58 PSI is the max printed on the tire? I notice that on the Continental website two 26 x 1 1/2 tires have 50 - 65 PSI and two have 45 - 58 PSI.

max is 116psi but what pressure you run depends on a lot of variables. Recommended is between 90 and 116psi Hope this helps you out. If you're question was on the continental sport then what I gave above is correct for that tire and size. But as others have commented. Other model or brands of 28mm tires will differ.

Mine came with a ton of scratches and two large dents. Plus the tire was flat. I sent it back. Sorry, fellas, but for $130 there should be only minor scratches and no dents. And no flat tire.

Nope. You need tires marked 26 x 1-3/8. Been there, done that. On Amazon, your choice is limited (no fancy stuff like Schwalbe, so far as I know) but Kenda has you covered. Do you really need a $40 tire on an old steel rim English wheel? If I could, I'd send you a link to the tire I have in mind. If you answer this post, I'll give you the ISO size you need.

This tire is about one inch taller than the stock 265/70/16 .People do run them but you will probably have some rub on front tires when turned all the way.

I am using mine with 26 x 2.125 comfort bike tires, so the only difference would be a little more noise due to the knobbies. Should be no problem, and you will enjoy it.

I have no experience with the 08, however this one I feel has just the right pressure. I press it harder to the big muscles and apply lighter pressure to the more delicate areas. When I press it real hard to delicate areas, then yes, it does feel like a beating, however in that case you need to go more gentle. Don't put your entire weight on it, prop it around with pillows. I highly recommend it.

Hello Yes I have bought this tire when I was in the states , It a OK street tire , I would classify it as a low to mid range tire , If you inter to only be on the street , and you are 200 lbs or less I would look else where , because of the knobs it has a bit more drag hope this helps

Noticed a little difference from a 31x10 to 33x12 on 15in rim it gave a smoother ride but it may be caused by bigger tire and its thread. When I had the 31s it felt a little bit stiff.

I myself would consider it a rear tire but be advised, if you're looking for a 2.1 width tire DON'T look here! even though they specify 2.1 it's really a 1.95 at best. I was very disappointed due to this and some Kenda "engineer" that I spoke to told me that's how real 2.1 tires are made, not the answer I was looking for. Good luck.

IMHO it corners better than any tire I've ever had except for maybe a Minion DH. I ride mostly hardpack with some rocks and roots, and usually dry conditions. I consider it an excellent front tire and an average rear tire.

No, but it is a great tire but as it says, its a 26er. Schawble has a studded Marathon HS 396 that comes in a 700c you may want to consider.

The wheels seemed hard to me. Every little piece of gravel or irregularity in the road could be felt. I'm still searching for one with big, soft wheels?

I have been using these liners for awhile now. My 700x23 tiresstate max. air 116 psi and I inflate to that before I ride. Have neverencountered a problem. After ride I deflate tires, a good practice I think.These liners add weight and influence roll. But is not critical.

This tire is nice and wide but... expect pinch flats if you ride hard and run less than 40 psi, it has the feel of an under-inflated tire - even when maxed out at 60 psi.
1672753
no, tire depths are guaged in 1/32nds. the guage ranges from 0 thru 32 in 32nds.

For me, 25mm provides a better ride. I also inflate them to a lower psi than what is recommended. I run the rear tire at 90 psi and the front at 90psi. I think that set up provides me a better ride especially on roads that have been chip sealed. Mike
