Review by JimVery good urban tire
by Jimnorthern IllinoisNeeded new shoes for my Trec Navigator - a somewhat upright urban bike. My criteria was good brand, good looks and good durability. These are a strong 1.75 wide and look perfect. Last ones were 1.5 and looked too small on this comfort type bike. About 500 miles last month and only had to air up once to keep at 52 psi.

Review by jbGreat value for the price. 
by jbCycling EnthusiastFairfax, CAWe use these tires on two of our around town riders, grocery-getter bikes. They replace the old knobbies which were literally a drag. Looking forward to putting miles on these tires and not the car tires!

Review by AnonymousGood tiresby Anonymous4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.I bought these a couple months ago now, have put a few hundred miles on them. All paved bike trails and street riding. No flats yet.
They roll a lot better than the MTB tires I replaced with them. Cant really complain. Im by no means a bike tire aficionado, but for the money they seem great.

Review by crazy old mangreat multi-use tireby crazy old manCycling Enthusiastupstate ny finger lakes9 of 10 customers found this review helpful.I put these on my mtn bike for spring training rides before I get my road bike out. I ride on a trail system that is built on an old railway right of way. I ride a couple of miles on the road to get to the trail and these tires work equally well on pavement, gravel and packed dirt wet or dry. Not by any means for real mtn bike terrain but a great tire for combined road and easy off road use.

Review by Dan NezzyUnbelievable performance by Dan Nezzy1133 Stone Moss Ct, Leland, NC 284518 of 8 customers found this review helpful.I bought a new 30 speed MTB racing bike that came with Kendra 26X2.0 Small Block Eight tires. I immediately replaced them with these Continental 26X1.75 Ride Tour tires and the difference in performance is unbelievable. These Continentals are amazing. The ride is smoother, the bike is faster and the traction is unreal! I was looking for a good all around hybrid tire and these Continentals are more than I could ever have hoped for. I'm 100% satisfied. The quality is exceptional. Thank you Bike Tire Direct!

Review by Starwatch23 Decent ride, versatile offon road. But hard to inflate - Presta valve plunger is quirky
by Starwatch23Cycling EnthusiastMadison, WI6 of 62 customers found this review helpful. I road commute everyday. These tires seem resilient but can't seem to hold air well. My tirewalls show a 102 max PSI, (85-to 102) so I'm suprised by the specs listed on this site.
Difficult inflating these. Unless I'm able to max out the pressure, the bike feels like its riding thru sand during inclines. Frustrating.
I recently tried injecting max air pressure using the Shrader adaptor.When I unscrewed the adaptor, the Presta-valve plunger popped out like cannon fire. Now I might need to replace the tube! Not that happy wtires overall.
