WTB ThickSlick Hybrid Bike Tire (26"/29"/700c) Wire Bead - Slick Tread - Commuter & Campus (Black/White, Optional Flat Guard)

Tires: 29" x 2.1" Slick TiresLike many, I have a trusty hardtail mountain bike that has seen countless trails. However, since getting an e-MTB for the heavy-duty stuff, I've found myself grabbing my old-school hardtail more and more for road rides and commuting.My journey to these slicks was a gradual one. I first swapped the original knobby mountain bike tires for a set of hybrids. While that was an improvement, I was still looking for better performance on pavement. I finally decided to go all-in on a set of dedicated slick tires, and the difference has been nothing short of revolutionary.The most immediate and noticeable change is the speed. The reduction in resistance is incredible. On my daily 14-mile exercise ride, I have consistently shaved about 7 minutes off my time, making the speedier ride so much more fun, especially up hills.Beyond the raw speed, the improvement in ride quality is what truly makes these tires a winner. The ride is substantially smoother, absorbing the small bumps and imperfections of the road in a way the previous tires never could. This makes for a far more comfortable and enjoyable experience.If you're using a mountain bike primarily on the road, I can't recommend switching to these slicks enough. It's a relatively small investment that completely transforms the bike, making it faster, smoother, and infinitely more fun for pavement riding.

I bought these to replace gravel tires on my '98 Trek and so far they're amazing! I ride in the city and the streets are full of all types of glass and debris. Because of the thick tread I'm always confident that I won't get a puncture. As far as rolling speed, they're on the heavier side but they still roll fast! Makes sure to pump them up close to 65psi to get full rolling capabilities. Also, I've seen some concern over grip. In my opinion, they actually feel a bit sticky on pavement. Of course you have to be more careful in wet conditions but isn't that with most tires? For my off roaders, these feel great on packed dirt. I did some gravel/single track and these ate up branches and bumps. They aren't the best in loose gravel since they don't have treads to bite in, but they said, they'll still work if youre extremely careful.

Very happy with the tires. I bought em as my everyday road tire and they hold up very well against the roadside crud that gets thrown at em. And of course they look great doing it! Great price point too!

I used this on my indoor trainer bike. It is super quiet and I can hear the TV while working out now. I'm glad I got it.

Tires came a little squished in the box I thought they were gonna be more protected they look smashed in but they fit just fine thankful

These tire are awesome for the urban setting. Provides great grip with minimal rolling resistance. I do not ride in the rain nor offroad, so these slick tires are perfect for me.

Switched out my knobbies on my carbon MTB hardtail for 29 x 2.1 thickslicks with TPU tubes. I am a roadie so MTB is ridden on tarmac and sidewalks after work in South Florida when it's too dark to safely ride my road bike on most roads so no gravel or trail riding. By a landslide + a mile, the most noticeable improvement i have ever made to any of my bikes. More improvement than upgrading to carbon aero wheels on my road bike you ask? YES! At 35 psi, handles sidewalk cracks and bumps like your riding on your softest pillow. Easily gained 1-2 mph at the same watts vs. the old tires due to the substantially lower rolling resistance. HIGHLY recommend this tire for this type of city riding. Not enough miles ridden yet to measure puncture resistance but I don't think that will be an issue from the other reviews. Why did I wait so long is all I can ask myself. Enjoy your ride.

Was using a mountain bike to mount it on a stationary bike trainer. The mountain bike tires made so much noise so I decided to get this tire. Ever since I installed this, it feels so smooth, quiet and less rolling resistance. Ride is smooth. The quality of the tire did not disappoint. Lovin' every bit of it. If you use a bike trainer, get this tire to mount on your bike.
