Description Ride without limits with high volume, kick-ass adventure tires
When you're out on a ride the last thing you want is to be held back by your tires in any way.
Surly's ExtraTerrestrial Tires were designed to let you ride without limits by simply following the only tenets the brands has for tire design: they're high volume and they kick ass.
The ExtraTerrestrial tire was meant to serve as a heavy-duty off-road touring tire that shines on hardpack surfaces. It uses a nylon breaker in the sidewalls for cut protection, a molded pattern for anti-cut propagation, and a Kevlar cap under the tread to protect against flats.
The ET Tire uses a distinctly directional tread pattern and its width yields more traction than you might expect from a tire with such little rolling resistance. The tread is low profile with a file tread in between tread blocks.
The ExtraTerrestrial tire has enough width and traction for the soft stuff and won't bog you down on smooth or hard surfaces.
The finishing touch is a slate sidewall that brings an understated element of flair to any frame or kit.

It Says What It Is Right On The Tire!

I have these on two very different bikes. I keep a 29" wheelset with these so I can ride my full suspension MTB on the road to get to the trail, and I also have the 27.5" 's on my Surly Bridge Club, so that I can ride my grocery getter on singletrack. The off road traction on this tire is outstanding. Rolls faster on pavement/gravel than a knobbed mtb would.
