Durable, nice ride

5 years ago

The electra townie original tires came standard on my Townie 21D. The bike is 2 1/2 years old and the tires have 4,287 miles. I keep the front at 35 psi and the reat at 50. These tires provide a quiet, stable ride and seem to corner really well. I have ordered a second set even though I feel confident that I can get another year out of the original pair. I ordered early because Trek now owns Electra and I am not sure they will keep supplying this tire. The local Trek dealer does not have any and they suggest I buy two other larger tires at $30 each. A larger tire is not recommended on my narrow rims.

Cheap Tire not worth dealing with.

3 months ago

I feel this tire is inferior in quality. The major problem I had with it was fitting it onto my 26" rim. The tire was so stiff and hard to get on that I ended up pinching the tube not once but about 4 times before I gave up and returned it for something better. This is a cheap tire that's not worth dealing with.
