Bought two 27x 1 1/4 tires, one was working great but the other wasn’t seating on the wheel despite being the correct size and properly installed and inflated, it had a stiff spot that tended to come of.

La llanta cumple con las expectativas, hasta el momento después de 200km aun no presenta desgaste de los plásticos excedentes. Buena recomendación precio calidad.

The photo is not what you get, tread looks wise, and that's not a bad thing. The tread is more directional and has a better water/sand channeling center without adding rolling resistance. For these, or any Kevlar beaded tire, I suggest grab one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C128PC/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me= at the same time. I've been using one of them for well over 20 years and they make short work of the super tight bead seating of a new Kevlar tire. Another tip is put enough air in the tube beforehand so it sits fully round but just barely, probably 1-2psi or so. It keeps the tube from pinching between the lever and rim. Tubes used to come covered in talc making things much more easy for even a novice to change their own stuff. Once the tire is on put about 20psi of air and thoroughly check the bead for correct seating. Do another partial fill to about 40 psi and check one more time. If it's got spots that aren't exactly seated by being too deep you can grab the tire and twist at the point where it's too deep and often feel it pop into perfection. The max on these is 75psi is why I suggested the numbers beforehand. For mountain bikes or others that use less maximum pressure, lower the numbers to about 10psi, then 20 psi before the maximum of~ 40-45. Anyway back to the tires. Once installed I took them out for a spin on my Schwinn hybrid and road only pavement. They were a smidge noisier than the oem ones with the Schwinn sticker but those were very noisy when they were new also. Traction in corners was nice and felt like they were one with the road. I found some long puddles and tried the center water shedding area and never felt like I was hydroplaning in the least. Sand and small gravel along roadsides was also not a problem like the originals sometimes were at low speed. I didn't notice any rolling resistance difference ,a surprise because the tread feels a little grippier when I rubbed my fingers across the tread before the ride. Time will tell how long the treads last but I really like how these tires handle so far.They handled rough , wet, and dirty pavement like it was clean, dry, and smooth. At the price Amazon is asking if they only last a few hundred miles I'll still consider them a good value.

These tires fit very well on an old CCM bike, and the tread pattern and sidewall look similar to the original tire, only newer. I had no difficulty getting them on, but I did have to use two large flathead screwdrivers to pry the bead over. Don't try it using regular plastic levers.

I read all the reviews on these and I don't know how or why folks had problems. When the tires arrived I took each out of the box, "unfolded" it and let it lay flat on the floor while I took the old tires and tubes off. Then I put enough air in the the new tubes to hold their shape. Then I put the new tires and tubes on. I did have a little difficulty getting the last little bit of the second bead on, so I let some air out of the tube and it slipped the rest of the way on. After that I carefully went around and made sure I didn't have any tube sticking out and then I added a little air. Checked the tire felt smooth and even, double checked the beads, added some more air. Checked everything again and added more air. Could not have been easier. The tires themselves are great! Exactly what I was looking for, they roll easy and have enough tread for a "normal" rider on bike paths and roads. I suppose this is a sign of good luck because I did get caught in a downpour on my first ride with them so I can attest that they are excellent on wet roads! I expect to be happy with these for a long time and many, many miles.

I replaced the somewhat fragile tires which came on my bicycle with these which seem somewhat more rugged. They installed without a fuss, ride better on the street or dirt trails, and are very reasonably priced.
