Excellent tread and with for max.speed and grip on any street conditionEasy rolling on the road vs knobby tires..exactly what I was looking for.Good tire profile for concrete/asphalt pathsWife has older bike 2003 mongoose, old bald tires these did the trick, easy to get on wheel. Held up after 12 miles cycling so farCame well packaged. Easily went on my rim (using the right tools). Looks good. Runs true so far.Arrived quickly and appear to be good qualityI fell in love with this style tread when I first used a set of tires with it back when I rode BMX 25 years ago (I think they were on a GT freestyle bike I had for a short time). It's halfway decent offroad, and it just dominates on pavement without too much rolling resistance like an off road tire will have. These Kendas replaced an old pair of this exact tire I had on my mountain bike when I bought it used. I don't ride a ton any more, but a fair amount, and these lasted me 10 years (for a short stint during that time of about 2 months, I commuted on this bike, otherwise used for quick trips to the store and occasional trail riding). That was after whoever owned the bike before me rode on them for who knows how long. The only reason they failed eventually was because of sun damage over the years and the rubber dry rotted to the point that the tube blew through the sidewall.I didn't see any reason to mess with success, so I just bought the same exact ones to replace those amazingly durable and grippy tires. The new ones seem just as well constructed as the old ones. The only thing I added this time was the Thorn Buster liners because that's been a constant struggle on all my bikes since I moved from the Northeast to SoCal (darn tumbleweed thorns!). Got new tubes for good measure and haven't had a single flat since. Will be buying these for all of my road-going mountain bike and cruiser needs in the future.Great durable bicycle tires, that are easy to install.Good so far, no issues yet, used just in urban areasgood ride and traction on both tarmac and crushed stone trails.Tres bon produitAll good. Delivered on time as promised. Thank you!
