Schwalbe HS159 Puncture Protection 27 x 1 1/4

These tires seems to work just fine for me I ride to and from work about 5-6 miles and it seems like a very smooth ride I have not had a flat yet and with these tires i hope i won't, I'm about to put it up for winter I live in Indiana so it get's a little to cold to ride this time of year. But over all I really enjoy the ride I get from these Tires.

As a favor, I recently refurbished a vintage Raleigh for a friend. He had last rode the bike during the mid-70s while in college. It had been hanging in his garage since then. I wanted gum wall thorn resistant 27 tires to complement vintage look of the bike, but I could not find locally. This made me all the more pleased to find Western Bike Works had in stock the HS159 and at a very good price. This tire's side wall is off white which sets it apart from the typical gum wall and looks great on the vintage Raleigh!
