the tires are listed as wide 40c, is this correct,since one reviewer said the tires were like road bike tire, thin?
1581324
The tires are as thin as road tires, but they have off-road profile. It actually is 40c, but it's not he rugged thick wheel you might be thinking of.
1581325
no the tires were not that thin, i believe they were 40c. I find bikesdirect.com to have a good list
1581326
Umm.. I dont know if all of them are like mine but, mine did come with thin tires yes.
1581327
I'm not sure of exact size but they but the are closer to a street bike size than a mountain bike size

I love everything about this bike, with one exception. The tire's are flimsy and thin. I replaced the factory tire's after 1 month of normal use, I strongly suggest you do the same. I brought my bike down to the bike shop after I started to lose traction and the mechanic told me I was the the 4th person to replace the tires he has serviced with this model bike. it cost me $75 but it was well worth it. I have been riding 25 years and have never owned such a great bike. I wish Jeep would get it together and do something about the bike's cheap tires. If you have not bought this bike yet, DO!. Then replace the tires ASAP. Had my bike 5 years and am buying a new one this spring same model Good Luck. I love everything about this bike, with one exception. The tire's are flimsy and thin.

So your tire size means that the outside to outside widest width of your tire is 4.10 inchs, which would be the sidewalls at there most inflated air pressure. Lets say it's printed on your sidewall of your tire which most tires have as the size and yours is "4.10x3.50-6"...What this means is that you have a tire which is 4.10 inches at its widest width and you have a tread which is 3.50 inchs of surface contact, and the rim is 6" across, lip to lip. So yes these tires chains will fit. Keep in mind before you buy that there are probably heavier duty chains out there but at a higher price. Like I said these chains , bang for the buck are not a bad buy. You should get some years out of them.Good Luck Tom W.

Funny you should ask.I have about a 1000 miles on these tires mostly on dry roads a lot of chip and seal.the other day I was riding on a cement pier when you get out to the end you have to make 90 degree turn around as I did this the tires were wet and I hit a little sand the bike slid out and I was on the ground.So I would say the answer is no.great tire for dry weather,very little rolling resistance.bike on brother!

They are good tires but I think they are mislabeled or something they are the size of 1.9's...but they best tires I have had are the IROKS. I liked my IROKs more than the tsl's..hope this helps
1814833
Yes they are slicks and very thick if your looking for a tire to last and keep the stickers out... If your talking about width they are not very wide but have low rolling resistance.

700c's are a continental size for road bikes. They are the same size a 29ers.Never seen a road bike with 26" before in the UK. They are normally 700c. Best check the size again on the side of the tyre. Also important to get the right width. Too narrow and you will still get punctures. I've just refitted mine after sanded down one end so there is no longer a 'square edge' as it caused a puncture.

it does come with road tires [700cc skinny tires]. broad tires may not fit flat handle bars: if you have the funds and time I'm 100% sure the handle car can be changed like any other bike. my advice, do not look at the price, get something you like from the start

Most tires have two dimensions: width and circumference. These rims accept a 700c circumference tire. These rims will accept a range of tire widths from 23mm to 32mm. The width range comes from ERTRO guidelines. The guidelines are just that, and you may be able to safely mount a tire outside of the width range implied by the width of the rim. The circumference is not negotiable. Do not mount a 27" tire on these, only 700c.Source: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html RIP

My thick slick is 700x25c, a common road bike size. It's a little fatter than a road race tire, but a little skinnier than a cyclocross tire. Fits great on the road frame I converted to fixed gear. Hope this was helpful.

For riding in snow (not ice - yikes!), the skinnier tire the better. I've ridden my 28mm Conti 4-Seasons in a slushy mix before, and they handled pretty well. I think mostly because they're very narrow for 28's...

depends on the tire size but if you empty the entire cartridge into a 23mm tire it's good to get you the rest of the way. i use them with 700x25 as well and my new 700x28 will rely on one-i expect it to work as i'm 155 lbs and 90 lbs. is fine i'd say it feels like 100+ on the 23c's. you should replace it with regular air when you get home. the CO2 molecules are rather small and leak thru tubes faster than regular air.

The tires I purchased are Load range "C" rated at 1100 lbs. max. There are various other load ranges available some with higher ratings and others with lower ratings. The higher the rating the more expensive the tire. You can check this out when ordering.

I just checked my tires. There is not an 'o' in the listing. The size is 26x2.125. These tires require a higher psi inflation to overcome the added resistance that so much heavy tread on the pavement creates. As for durability, I have no doubt. But the tire when inflated in enough larger than the originals I've had to remove the fenders, both front and back. Whether it is the tire for your bike, or not, you'll have to decide.

would these tires be suitable for a mountain bike that I plan to ride only on the street?

The english/metric conversion says it is... But I have the 20x1.75 wheels. Nice tires. I was rebuilding several bikes for charity.

I also had the problem of them being too wide and am sending them back. I just bought a pair of 25mm Pro 4 Endurance tires to replace my 25mm Bontrager Race X Lite tires and they are much wider than the Bontragers.

They seem to be about the same width as my rims. These are long distance tires -10 speed type. They aren't like the fat cruiser tires.
