This tire design is perfect for city riding or recreational use on bikes that see a lot of street or sidewalk use.Pressure Rating:Recommended PSI:30 PSI: Designed for lower tire pressure, ensuring a smooth, cushioned ride. Lower pressures contribute to comfort, particularly for smaller riders or lighter loads.The lower PSI is typical for this tire size, as the wider tire helps provide natural cushioning and a good level of grip.Construction: Bead Type:Wire Bead: The wire bead construction makes the tire more durable and keeps it securely mounted on the rim, providing better resistance to stretching or popping off under lower pressures.This type of bead is more affordable than foldable bead tires, adding to its reliability for recreational and casual riding. Sidewall:Black/White Side Wall:The tire’s black tread contrasts with the white sidewall, giving the tire a classic, stylish appearance often seen on vintage bikes or retro-themed children's bikes.This color combination also adds an aesthetic touch to the overall look of the bike, making it more visually appealing.Material:Durable Rubber Compound:The tire is made from a strong rubber compound that balances flexibility with resilience, providing a tire that can withstand everyday use on various surfaces.The rubber construction is designed to offer good grip, longevity, and puncture resistance for standard city and light off-road use.Design and Style:Style:Standard Tire Design: This tire is designed for all-purpose use, making it ideal for casual riders who need a reliable, smooth-rolling tire for daily commuting, recreational cycling, or children's bikes.Slick II: The sleek tread minimizes friction and maximizes speed, making it great for smooth pavement.
