WTB Slick 29” x 2.2” Commuter Bike Tire, Wire Bead, Puncture Protection, DNA Rubber Compound, All-Weather Traction, Black Sidewall

These tires are amazing grip, quality and the looks is beyond my expectations.

I have an XL Marlin 5 and along with the XR3's it comes with I also have 2 other sets of off-road tires. I wanted a MTB tire that was good on pavement and trails. It doesn't exist. After purchasing Schwalbe Fat Franks and really not liking them, I decided on these. One of my favorite rides I do most often is a 5 mile loop 6-8 times that is 100% roads. I do the loop because I don't like carrying stuff on my bike unless I have to (extra tube, pump), so if I do get a flat I am at most 2.5 miles from home. I can deal with a 3 mile walk.7/13/21 UPDATEOn my 2nd ride with these I ran over a nail and popped tire. Take that how you want to but I find it peculiar I got a flat so fast. Could be just a coincidence but it seems to me that these are not puncture resistant at all. If I get another flat soon I will update and knock it down 1 star.These are everything you'd expect them to be compared to MTB tires: quiet, smooth, fast and cool looking. Instantly makes your 29er look faster and cooler. Super simple putting on. I am rolling on 51psi and it is nice and firm but still allowing the slicks to really touch the road. I ride road bikes too and a 2.2" slick compared to a 1" slick is insane. You get the road tire speed and comfort with the grip of a MTB which is really noticeable around corners. You can feel the edges of the tire digging in and it allows you to speed through corners confidently.I feel like I stumbled upon a monster with these shoes on my Marlin 5. I can get up around 40mph and average around 20. With MTB tires I was maxing out at 32 & 18, respectively. Those extra MPH's are really noticeable to me. Throw in the fact that it is a 29" tire over 2" wide and you still get the off-roading capabilities of a MTB. I am not saying these should be your trail shoes, but if your ride/commute has a bit of off-road stuff you'll be fine.They seem solid but do not have kevlar so we'll see how easy it punctures.Cannot recommend these enough! Ordered 2 and they came in separate huge boxes, not bent up or anything. Most tires I get come balled or in no packaging at all, so that was nice.I will update this if I have any issues. I will also update with mileage when they have seen their last ride. Do yourself a favor and get these shoes! You will not be dissappointed.

First and foremost,These are excellent tires! They were exactly what I was looking for, The perfect upgrade for my mtb. I ride 10 miles for fitness on a mix of pavement and dirt roads 4 days a week. I wanted to go faster, and with these on, I fly! These made a huge difference from the bontragers that came with my bike. The tires roll very well, and are very quiet. Wet performance is great too. I have put about 100 miles on them and so far no punctures. The bad.... they r slicks, not knobby mtb tires or hybrid tires, stick to pavement... they are designed for road use. When it comes to dirt, sand or anything slightly off road they loose traction. Sidewalls look thin.But as far as cornering, they perform excellent. No problems taking fast curves. So besides loosing the trail capability of your mtb, if you ride for fitness, or regularly commute on the bike, these are great. Bike is 2015 Trek marlin 6.

This is a pretty large tire, so be sure your bike can support it. The advantage of a bigger tire like this is that you can really adjust the comfort. Less pressure gives a much smoother ride, while more pressure reduces friction for easier pedaling on longer rides. I'd say really good value for money, and they are holding up really well for me after several long rides.

The media could not be loaded. Easy use. Easy install. Almost 1,000 miles traveled on this set so far. Doing fantastic and very efficient. I commute 10 miles to work and back able to average between 15-22mph on these tires versus the previous cross-terrain tires that came on the bike (which had my average speed between 12 and 17 mph..)and with a switch over to mag wheels with these tires it flies faster now. Very impressed for the quality with the price and fast deliveryI HAVE tenderly rode on these off road trail terrain gravel and rock and red dirt and sand and mud and if you ride with in reason and clean them frequently they continue to ride my 10 mile commute like I have been for weeks as well. No flats. No slime in my tubes. Regular tubes as well.In idea towards preventative maintenance I will be adding thicker slime filled tubes as well

These replaced my knobbly tires on an MTB for city use. The difference in ride smoothness was readily apparent. I love these tires. No flats so far, but I haven't used them for a long time yet

I put these on my Trek Excalibur. They make the ride smoother and quieter. I have had so many comments about my knobbies being noisy and even was told by someone that they thought they were being chased by a swarm of bees plus I can save them for winter and off road.This is a very comfortable tire and 55 psi. It is rated at 65 psi max, so they can be made pretty hard if you choose.Installing these tires are different than regular bike tires. When installing 29ers on a disc wheel set you have to put a small amount of air (about 1/2 full) in the tires and work them around pushing down with your thumbs to make sure the bead is set in place. Then fill the tires the rest of the way. The tires do run out of true slightly but nothing to be concerned about. They seem well made and will last a long time.

The media could not be loaded. Besides being smooth riding and surprisingly fast these tires are comfortable. That’s a lot for a tire that is on the economical end of 29” tires. I didn’t weigh these tire but it actually feels rather light. The tread will serve to disperse rain water for safer wet weather riding.The only issue I have with this tire is that the tread does not run true as can be seen in the video. This has no implications for me as I ride slow. If someone decides to use it for high speeds or god forbid a high speed Ebike this is concerning. I don’t recommend this tire for this reason.
