"I bought these as I wanted a set of road tyres for my mtb. They perform very well and I consider them to be a 'must buy' product if you are cycling on roads with your mtb. You can easily get more speed with less effort on the pedals and they don't scrub off as much speed when you coast along. Easy to fit, so you can swap tyres around quickly depending on what terrain you're attacking!"

speedy rolling mtb tyres
"These tyres were exactly what I needed to convert my old Kona to a road bike. They were easy to fit and rolling resistance is low and makes a huge difference over mtb tyres. I haven't yet done many miles on these yet but not showing any wear."

Great for town and tours
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Versatile, practical performace
"Put these on my full suspension mtb, just for those work commutes.
I have to say they are good. They'll also take you off road too, but not through slippy mud.
Best sneaky plus,is through the wet, the tyre profile acts to displace the water sideways, so there isn't alot of spray and your feet don't get alot from the front wheel.
If you have alot of weight, from luggage, i.e panniers, I did get punctures under these circumstances. Easy to get off and on the rim too."

Decent road tyres
Pros: Durable, Good Fit, Great Value
"I've fitted these to a 2nd set of wheels I use when i ride my bike on the road or use the turbo trainer.
They were really cheap & came with a set of tubes.
They seem great on the road and are SO fast compared to knobbly tyres as you'd expect.
I have yet to puncture using them (cue loads of punctures!)
I was a bit concerned about using them on the turbo trainer with the tread pattern on them, but they seem to work fine.

good road tyre
Pros: Attractive, Good Fit, Great Value
"these roll well, accelerate well, brake well and, for a cycle tyre, corner very well. They make a pleasing quiet murmur and feel great. For best results, combine with a nice light hardtail, high psi, and a pushing-on riding style around town.
Tight bead, but you can afford your tyre irons I'm sure.
Excellent value kit for road work. Get these on and get some miles in.
'ave it!"

Good city tyre
Pros: Comfortable, Durable
Cons: Poor Fit
"This is a smooth, fast city tyre that has enhanced my old mountainbike-turned-commuter's performance, for a reasonable price. One of them was a bit loose so fitting on the wheel while ensuring no blowouts was slightly fiddly, but now they're fine, fast-rolling and I haven't had any punctures yet."

3 punctures in 5 days...!
Cons: Low Quality, Poor Quality
"I bought these tyres to fit to my mountain bike to commute to work, but out of five trips, I have now had 3 punctures. These are supposed to have puncture protection, but clearly that is not very effective and what a pain in the neck it is trying to fix a puncture in the dark wet cold nights we are now having. I have attached a picture of the tiny little thorn that caused my last puncture just to show how such a small thorn still causes a hole."

So far soooo good
"I'm not some bike geek, I'm just someone who uses a bike almost every day for pleasure or to get to work.
I've been using my mountain bike with it's standard tyres for years, but since I'm increasingly riding on the roads it occurred to me that it wasn't really the right tool for the job. So after toying with the idea of buying a commuter bike I eventually decided that some slim tyres would be the best solution. Fitting the tyres took about half an hour and didn't go wrong which was a surprise to both me and everyone who knows me. I was expecting my daily commute to be a bit quicker as a result. The actual result is that not only is the commute quicker it's sooo much easier. So much so, the gearing of the bike feels wrong! Seriously, for riding on the roads, these tyres are great, it makes a huge difference changing from standard mtb tyres."

great
Pros: Great Value
"A complete kit to transform a mtb into a commuter bike. Is nice that tyres come with inner tubes. Tyres can be inflated to 85 psi - seriously hard and fast. Good looking/ quality tyres and cheap as chips."

Schwalbe City Jet Tyre
Pros: Great Value
"I decided to bring my old mountain bike out of retirement and replace the fat tyres with road tyres to enable me to get out for a quick blast on the country lanes whenever I get the chance.
After reading a few reviews I bought the Schwalbe City Jet Tyre and Tube Set. Good performance promised and a good price.
Well, I wasn't disappointed. The difference the road tyres make is amazing. Hills which were a real grunt before are a joy.
I don't have the experience to compare the Schwalbe City Jet Tyre to other road tyres, but I can say they are well made, good value for money and perform well."
