Does the tread on these tires make it wider and taller overall than a road bike tire with no treads?

Your question is pretty vague. I'll try my best to help! This will be a wider tread than a 700x25 or 700x23. This will give you a bit more rubber between the road. Many newer road frames may not have clearance to support the 700x32, or it'll likely be a tight fit. Rolling resistance is greater than a slick tire, but I can also tell you the extra tread provides great all terrain travel. I use these on hard pack gravel with no issues, and no flats to date with 1K miles on them now.

1/2 inch tread depth.these tires work very well on my uneven soft hilly yard and don't hurt the terrain unlike my turf savers.

Hi, Im not sure. That being said, I returned mine because the wheels made so much noise. The wheels are hard plastic, instead of soft rubber (like a bike tire).

This tire is about one inch taller than the stock 265/70/16 .People do run them but you will probably have some rub on front tires when turned all the way.

Hello Martin, I'm not an expert in the jargon which wheel and tire manufacturers use for specs., English and metric, etc. Here is American layman specs: overall wheel diameter is 9.5"; rim diameter is 5.25"; hub depth is about 2.22", hub diameter is 5/8"; tread width is 1.75". I think the 10" spec. by manufacturer is "nominal" wheel diameter...the actual diameter is, as given above: 9.5". The quality of the wheel is good and it's solid rubber..I hate tires which lose air.

Yes they do! Although they're alittle heavy and harder to spin. You pay for all that durability. This is a good all round high milage tire. If you want speed try Schwalbe Kojak. Kojak's have no tread. You pay for speed...

The thread is most likely different because this a gum wall 27 inch tire and not a regular 700c. You can ride these at lower pressure but that's not always advantageous. they have less rolling resistance and better handling but are way thinner. You will get flats. I havs gotten flats from staples and thorns. These have a great look for a restoration project for city touring. If you want to be indestructible. Go for some Gatorskins. They don't look as good but flats are far more rare. I believe there are also Panaracers with Kevlar.

Tires are right around an inch, to an inch and a half wide. Similar to road tires, rather than mountain bike tires

The simple answer is that it doesn't make a huge difference as the tread on a road tire is more of a wear indicator than an actual traction aid.* However, my years of working in a shop and common convention dictates that when the tread pattern more or less forms a V shape you'd mount them with the V pointing forwards when viewed from above in the riding position. To better visualize this look at a picture of a common farm tractor as they typically run V shaped tread in this orientation. While it doesn't apply to this tire, most manufacturers will put their printed branding information on the drive side. *From http://sheldonbrown.com/tires.html Bicycle tires for on-road use have no need of any sort of tread features; in fact, the best road tires are perfectly smooth, with no tread at all! Unfortunately, most people assume that a smooth tire will be slippery, so this type of tire is difficult to sell to unsophisticated cyclists. Most tire makers cater to this by putting a very fine pattern on their tires, mainly for cosmetic and marketing reasons. If you examine a section of asphalt or concrete, you'll see that the texture of the road itself is much "knobbier" than the tread features of a good-quality road tire. Since the tire is flexible, even a slick tire deforms as it comes into contact with the pavement, acquiring the shape of the pavement texture, only while in contact with the road. People ask, "But don't slick tires get slippery on wet roads, or worse yet, wet metal features such as expansion joints, paint stripes, or railroad tracks?" The answer is, yes, they do. So do tires with tread. All tires are slippery in these conditions. Tread features make no improvement in this. see also: http://sheldonbrown.com/brandt/slicks.html

I don't know without checking the manufacturers specs. I have these on a jeep and the tread is doing great on paved roads and dirt roads.

I agree with Jon C's answer. A bicycle tire holds only a fraction of the air compared to a motorcycle tire.

HelloWhat I did...I google "trailer tire" and compared the answer with the tire I had at home. I hope this is helpful.

I'm sorry but I can't verify this as the tires are installed on my bike (for a couple of years already). They seem very light and have certainly held up on the NYC 5 Borough terrain. I also bought the same brand (diff sizes) for two other bicycles.

Not really, but a really tough street tire and good for touring, I have used them on a couple of my bikes for several years and have never had a flat. Currently running them on the streets of Eastern LA, CA and they have never let me down. They are hard to mount the first time and I recommend some really tough levers, I broke a whole set of cheap ones before splurging for a good set.

Yes.. my wheels ar 28" x 1: x 1 1/4". I have street bike; no nubby tread; just a smooth tire appropriate for inner-city. Please keep this mind. I know that the tire dimension could be an issue.

John H. answer below is comprehensive, and they are definitely not a mountain bike tire, but I am planning to eventually replace them with a slightly more road less mountain oriented tread design in the hope of getting a lower rolling resistance.

Not according to http://www.bicyclewarehouse.com/buyers-guides/all-about-bicycle-tires-pg482.htm and the wikipedia article on bicycle tires. The first number is the diameter of the wheel and the second is the width of the tire and the "c" means it is measured in the metric system. I have also read that the "c" means "clincher," but both of the above references seem to dispute that.
