      Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Slickasaurus Tire - 26 x 1.5:

      I commute 10 miles a day, 95% on streets, 5% on gravel/dirt. I had been using 1.95 width Specialized MassTransit commuter tires that lasted 8,000 miles. First, I freaked out when I put on these very thin width Slickasaurus tires. But I was happy that I could go so fast on them. They also seem to have decent grip in the rain, amazingly. Unfortunately, after two weeks and five flats in quick succession, I gave up on these and returned them. They are paper thin and even the slightest sharp thing (like a piece of a pine cone) go through these tires like butter. I was disappointed that they didn't work out.

        These tires were recommended to me for my mountain bike. I'm glad I got them. They are on my commuter mtb...couldn't ask for better. Obviously they are not racing tires, but who's racing to work anyway?...ha ha

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Slickasaurus Tire - 26 x 1.5:

          I bought these mostly for commuting (26 miles per day) and I have had one 65 mile charity ride. They were recommended by the guy at REI and I could not be happier. My commute is all paved, but through a few nasty areas. Over 250 miles and not one issue. The traction is amazing (wet or dry) and the cornering is awesome. Overall a great tire for the price. There may be a better tire out there, but this one is fantastic.

            Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Slickasaurus Tire - 26 x 1.5:

            These have worked great for what I've needed them for: riding the few miles between the Caltrain station and work/home. I rode through rain with them and my biggest worry were the ancient brakes on my old college mountain bike. A 700 would likely still be faster, but the mountain bike compactness is great for the multi-mode commute.
