5Easily mountable tiresJun 04, 2010
Got 4 of these tires for my brand new hybrid bikes. My son mounted these tires with little effort. He used a slotted head screwdriver size 1/4" and 3/16" wrapped in electrical tape on the heads to keep the inner tube from being punctured to dismount the old tires. Slid the screwdriver between the rim and the tire and leaving one in place while he slid the other around to dismount the tire. He said they mounted very easily and quickly using his bare fingers to push the steel belt under the rim.

Overall considering the other great reviews I'm looking forward to many, many happy hours and miles of no flat tires on my new bikes. Bike shops say you have to spend at least $40 each for kevlar tires to get good ones. I bought the last 4 that Bike World had at a very reasonable price. I consider myself very fortunate to have my son install them for me.

After doing some extensive research on the net on 700cc kevlar tires I found that Maxxis had very good reviews. I bought these tires due to the quality of the manufacturer plus the extensive use in Europe by the racing community of these tires. Can't go wrong with a good thing!

5Really Nice Deal!Jan 20, 2010
I've got this tire on the back of my Giant Cypress DX hybrid and it performs better than my expectations. I definitely prefer the comfort and security of a wider 700c tire - I don't race and appreciate the softer ride of this 38mm. After 2,000 miles it roles smooth, still looks great, has plenty of tread left and never had a flat. The reflective sidewall lights up like a beacon. Can't comment on grip as I'm a cautious rider and Haven't really pushed it to extreme limits but have not had any problems in wet conditions. I plan on taking some extended road trips in the future so I bought 3 more to stock up. This tire is worth the price!

Update: July 2010... Not a lot of time to ride lately but added 400 more miles to this tire and still no flats and good tread. Finally replaced my front tire a few weeks back with a new Overdrive... what was I waitng for? I noticed an improved ride quality in both handling and traction immediately.

4nice tires so farSep 16, 2009
so far so good this are some good tires. I had these tires for few weeks and I've ran over pieces of glass and stones and so far no holes in my tires. They are nice looking tires and they ride very smooth. I highly recommend them especially for the price that I paid. For the money no bike tires out there can compete.

4No flats yet!Apr 24, 2009
It's a bike tire, not too much to get excited over. They seem to throw a bunch of pebbles, more than any other tire used, but maybe that's a good thing? I've only been offroad once with them but they held well even there. I can't comment on wet traction, I try to stay out of the rain, but overall they've been great. And most important, no punctures!

5Good tough tireSep 03, 2008
I have had these tires through a riding season, and like them. They are a good compromise for a hybrid/commuter bike, as they have some grip but still ride smoothly. They are also good at resisting punctures.
