CATAZER 26x1.95 Bicycle Solid Wear-Resistant Airless Tire Anti Stab Riding MTB Road Bike Tyre 26 Inch Non-Inflatable Tires

The tire I received is excellent. It is high in quality; slightly flexible, rubber-like, yet solid. It fits perfectly. If you hate changing flat tires as much as I do, this tire will change your life. To me, it rolls fine on the road, with only a slightly bumpier ride. (Tip: buy a better-padded seat.) I ride often, but not great distances. If you are more of a professional rider, you might prefer air-filled tires. I can't rate this tire on how long it will last, but so far it is still like new.But if you want to try solid tires, brace yourself: airless tires are VERY hard to install on the rim using the manufacturer's instructions or any typical video. After long searching, I found a method that actually DOES work, though it still takes some strength. I installed this tire myself in 20 minutes. To avoid using 2 or 3 people with their arms and curses flying around, the key is to start at one part of the rim, insert the tire there as best you can, then tighten a WIRE TIE around the rim and tire. to hold them together. Then move a few inches in either direction, insert the NEXT part of the tire into the next part of the rim, and wire tie that section also. Continue moving around the rim both directions, and adding more wire ties. As you go, it becomes easy to tighten the original wire ties better. To install this tire took me 11 strong plastic wire tires, each 11 inches long. Once the tire finally snaps into place on the rim, remove the wire ties with a good wire cutter.Of course, as you put more ties on, it becomes harder and harder to stretch the tire. By the time you are 2/3 of the way around the rim, you are probably using one or two strong screwdrivers to help pry the tire near to the gap in the wheel. But you can still continue adding wire ties, and tightening previous ones. Finally, you can pry the last section of tire into place.I used a different brand of airless tire on an older bike, but this Catazer tire is far better engineered. It fits better, and installs easier. This was my experience with a standard wheel for a 26 inch tire. The rim has a typical 20 mm opening.

I ordered 26x1.95 tires and the tires are smaller than my rim and they made the bottom of the tire so fat it can't even fit inside of any rim

No flats is awesome.Super skinny tires versus the 2.25"x26" I replaced kinda sucks.If I used the bike for commuting I'd be pissed, but since I ride only for cardio, they're fine....and no flats is incredible!I ride a cheap used box store 21 speed hard tail generic "mountain bike" around the neighborhood on very flat land. On normal (air+tube) tires, my typical daily ride was about 4.5 miles in 20 mins. This is my casual old-fart ride schedule...just mild cardio for 20 mins. On the same bike with these tires, I had to drop 2 complete rear gears to ride with the same effort! The same 4.5 miles took 30 mins! This did not get any easier over the next 4 weeks.Overall I am fine with that, as now I just ride 3.5 mi for the same 20 mins of cardio, I'm just 2 gears lower so I pedal at the same rate and apply the same pedal effort. I do occasionally go to a store that is a little further. That round trip used to take 40 mins on normal tires. It takes an hour on these solid tires. The difference in rolling resistance is MASSIVE. I also wish they were wider. They did go on fairly easy by myself using just 2 flatblade screwdrivers after leaving the new tires in the 100°F desert sun on a black vehicle hood for about 20 mins to soften them up first. I'll accept riding a little slower and/or at higher effort to ensure it is impossible to get a flat tire after going through 3 tubes, 15 patches, and multiple failed (and successful) roadside patch-n-pump jobs in a bad 2-week period. I was getting flats on the spoke/rim side and they were not pinches. Slime and thorn-resistant stuff does absolutely nothing for inside (spoke nipple) protection. I tried various liners. Maybe I missed a bad spoke or something, but I even used an old tube as 2 additional layers of protection from spoke nipples and still got new holes a few days in a row. I think that's the level of bad luck required to warrant accepting the ridiculous extra high rolling resistance of these solid tires. If you only get a flat every couple months.....you're probably better off not having to drop 2 gears to make the same hills on these things and just stick w/ air. If you get flats often or have high reason to avoid roadside repairs at all costs, then the lower speed, higher effort, and 33% longer commute time you are getting with solid tires (any brand the way I understand it - air is just a superior medium) could be worth it.

I've only got 2 solid rubber tires in my lifetime. That being said, this tire is 100 times better then what I got from Walmart years ago. Easy to put on, just looks very nice and sounds better.When the time comes for me to replace the walmart version, I plan to get 2 more of this tire.

Muy bueno

I have a motorized bicycle, and not having to worry about flats is important if you want to go any kind of distance. It will go back to its original shape if given time and heat. It is fairly difficult to go on, but that's to be expected if its going to have any durability. I used a heat gun with tire irons and ziptied it in place as I pried it on. Just keep heating as you work on it, the rubber is more workable when its hot

These are too soft. It’s like riding with a break on don’t get these.

It was a pain to get on the rim but they are very durable
