Schwinn Replacement Bike Tire, Folding Kevlar Puncture Guard Tire, Steel Bead Construction, Replacement for Mountain, Hybrid or Cruiser Bicycles

Its a single tire. I needed two so I bought two. These 26x2.125 Cruise/Kevlar tires went onto an old beach cruiser someone left on the roadside in my neighborhood with a "FREE" sign taped to it. Only thing wrong with the bike was the old worn out "PONELY" brand tires. Tread was barely worn but the sidewalls were looking ready to tear apart and cause a blowout. Everything else checked out. Its a department store model from several years ago, nothing fancy or expensive and it was little dusty, but I can appreciate a free cruiser (yes i am that old school type, and also hardly a bicycle enthusiast) The bike looked like it sat unused for some time and I figured I could use it to get around the neighborhood. I haven't rode a bike in years and could use the exercise so wanted to give her a second chance at life and myself a reason to become more active. These tires were part of that journey.While searching for suitable replacement tires using the ETRTO numbers on the old pair I stumbled across this Schwinn tire. The tread pattern is nearly identical to the old tires. The bike's rims are 22mm inner width, so I could've gone with a slightly narrower tire, but I really wanted to keep the slight "fat tire" appearance the old tires had as they sat on the 22mm rims.At $24.88 per tire (as of purchase date Aug 14 2025, and $23.62 as of reviewing) they were a good deal over the alternatives, many of which don't offerr any "puncture resistant" technologies and others not sold by reputable brand names. After riding around on these Schwinn tires for the past month I can say the price difference was absolutely worth it. They clearly weigh a good amount more than the old PONELY tires and the belt feels thicker and VERY dense/tough. I'm positive the "kevlar" reinforcement is responsible for this. So I don't believe the old tires are the exact same (besides branding) even though they appear indetical otherwise. The tread itself is pretty thick and feels like extremely dense rubber. The old pair was very aged and I never rode on them, so I can not give a fair comparison of how the new tires stack against the old pair. But I do suspect these tires will last a while given my riding habits.The new tires arrived folded up in their box but were easy very to unfold. I left them outside in the shade for a few hours to settle into shape. While waiting for the new ones to arrive, I actually practiced removing and reinstalling the old tubes and tires using plastic tire levers a few times to get the hang of it. The replacement tires went on a much easier than the old ones despite feeling thicker and heavier. I didn't even have to use the tire levers at all to install either tire, which was a pleasant surprise.As many other reviews already mention theses tires have Innova branding instead of Schwinn but it is not painted on and its very subtle. You wouldn't know these didn't say "Schwinn" if you weren't carefully examining the tire, especially since this tire does NOT feel like a cheap imitation. On my bike's 22mm internal width rims the tires measure approx 55mm across at their widest point at 60 PSI. Perfect!Which leads me to one last point I'd like to add. The original tires were rated for up to 40 PSI. These Schwinn tires are rated 40-60 PSI. So there is definitely something different in the manufacturing process that makes these tires durable enough to handle higher pressure than the old ones, despite looking otherwise identical to them. I can definitely say these retain air and stay in place on my 22mm inner width rims at 60 PSI just fine. Nice and tight fit and a solid feel good for riding on pavement. I personally find 40 PSI much too low for this bike/rider weight/rim/tube/tire combo. If I had bought the exact same tires the bike already had instead of these Scwhinn tires, I'd be riding a flatter AND weaker tire. No thanks! These are some seriously tough tires that will last me a while.I don't plan on taking this bike to sandy beaches and certainly not offroad. Strictly smooth pavement. So narrower road tires wouldn't have been a bad move. But these are just fine for riding in the bike lane, especially when they're inflated to the higher end of their PSI range.If you aren't familiar with ETRTO sizing, its as important as the standard "26 inch" sizing convention. These "26 inch" tires have an inner diameter of 559mm or 22in. That's the 559 in this tire's ETRTO size of 57-559. The tire will be approx 57mm (2.125") wide when installed at rated PSI on SUITABLE rims. That said, the width of the tire will vary slightly depending on several various factors. Rim width plays a major role, so its best to familiarize yourself with ETRTO. If you've never replaced a bike tire before, or you want to use different tires than what you've got and you already know the tire's inner diameter / rim outer diameter (since the ETRTO is printed on the tire - and if the tire is currently installed on your rim you'll know if it fits around the rim) take the tire off the rim and measure the width of the rim between the "hooks". Look online for a ETRTO rim width conversion chart. The chart will give you a range of suitable tire widths to choose from for a given rim width. Too wide or narrow a tire for a given rim width can cause the tire to unseat from the wheel while riding, or make it susceptible to "pinch" flats, so refer to the chart. Don't just go off the specs of your previous tire. A little research is worth the added safety and peace of mind that you've made the right purchase.Anyways, call me a madman but I want to go as long as possible before airing up/changing the tubes or tires again, so I've paired these tires with thick, heavy duty Continental MTB tubes and FlatOut QuickStrike sealant. This is absolutely overkill especially for a beach cruiser thats never going offroad. I know probably not worth the time, effort or money but the roadway easements around here are lined with shell fragments and broken glass and I'm done skipping leg day, so the extra weight and rolling resistance caused by the heavy duty tubes/tires/sealant is fine, since no pain = no gain... its a beach cruiser tire for beach cruisers! If you're like me and appreciate that classic design, you probably don't consider the extra couple of pounds to be a problem, and you probably prefer the casual slow ride on flat terrain over the record-setting marathons or pulling climbs up steep grades.The setup hasn't had any flats, punctures or parasitic leakage, and still holds the same 60 PSI one month and many, many rides around the neighborhood later! Color me satisfied. Go ahead and buy this tire if it fits your requirements and specifications and you will not be disappointed with it. With any luck, these tubes and tires may outlast this bicycle. Zipping around on this single-speed has made my legs jacked lol

I bought Schwinn Replacement Bike Tires through Amazon, because I had already gone through 6 Tires and Inner Tubes with Walmart. The Tires on my bike originally were not very good. I wore them out within months, so bought better tires at Walmart $28 for Tires and $6 for puncture proof inner tubes. 26 x various widths: 1.25 to 2.25.I have been on my Schwinn Replacement Bike Tires on my E-Bike for months and still good tread.

These are fantastic for my grocery getter townie bike. It is a very incognito non attention cruiser. These tires roll great fast enough tread, should hold up for a lifetime.

Good

Fit perfectly on my Schwinn Mantis. As mentioned by others, the sidewalls are about 1/2 broader than original tires. Also, someone commented not a Schwinn part was their experience, but mine were boxed as Schwinn made in China. Only took about an hour to replace both tires.

Great quality wheel tire.

Good so far

Nice tires for my beach cruiser, nice upgrade
