Are these folding tires? First link shows them as folding but page shows them as beaded.

They are folding tires, but the Michelin website claims they are foldable bead. Hope that helps.

Yes, they are folding bead tires. All Clinchers are beaded, folding tires have Kevlar or Aramid beads, and the non-folding tires have steel wire beads.

unlikely at that price - they are likely the wire (not folding) which don't come with black chilly (high end $50+) see http://www.conti-tyres.co.uk/conticycle/ti%20rubberqueen.shtml

Yes they are rubber tires and it is incredibly well made! We put daily heavy use on it for over a year and it still is in great shape! I was amazed!! It literally went everywhere my daughter did for a year and it still looks like I could get a few more years out of it!

Absolutely brother... They're awesome... Kevlar belted...nice fat track... A super smooth riding tire..I used the Slime tubes with them... Couldn't be happier with my decision...

I don't know about the wire bead...mine says kevlar. Yes, it comes flat & folded which makes it difficult to keep inside the wheel rim while you try to keep the tube in place as you mount and fill it. I've purchased folded tires before and they weren't quite this difficult to work with - next time I might take a harder look at unfolded, pre-shaped tires. But it does perform like a great tire once mounted.

The tires are packaged folded so maybe they come in an 10x8 box. These tires will roll significantly easier on the road compared to your knobby tires. They are not cheap but are excellent tires.

Not sure if they're made of Kevlar not. They arrive and a full size box the size of the tire

Hello. Not ay home to check, but if I remember they are... I made mine into a U shape. I can confirm that each panel can fold either way

Mine were folded/rolled and the bends still haven't laid flat all the way yet.

yes, they are folded and it makes a huge difference on road riding, a lot faster and smother, but just be careful if you have mixed riding (road / soft dirt) as they can be a little squirrely in soft material. They are awesome for their puncture resistance!!

My assumption is they are production laced. I received them true, however after a couple of rides I did have my local shop verify and check tension for a nominal cost. Not sure if the was necessary, but wanted that piece of mind. I run 700 x 28s and these run smooth and stable on my steel light touring bike. Overall very happy with them.

yes they are tubeless if you have the right set of rims..the ones that doesn't bolt together.. but if I was buying tires again I would put tubes in them

The size is the same. (I think these come from different vendors...check the vendor when you select the size and see if it changes) I think the main thing to look for is if the tire is foldable or not. I bought the non-folding tires. They are a little heavier, but cost less. Folding tires cost a bit more, but are more expensive. You have to really look at the weight between the tires to tell them apart. I think the 700x23c are 280 grams for non folding and 230 grams for the folding. I am a big guy, so weight isn't an issue. I'm 6'5" 225lbs and these work great. I just did a half Ironman triathlon with them and had no issues.

They are a firm, foam tire. Similar to what you find on larger strollers. They seem to be holding up ok, though not as well as an air filled rubber tire would. The wheels are hollow plastic, not the tires.

Small package. Yes, tires are folded. And yeeehaaaw! Fast on the road. You'll be an urban terror with these tires.

Hello... Not quite sure I understand your question...however all tires have beads...if possibly you meant that if the tire comes with the wheel...that answer is no.. Mike The Tire Geek

The wire bead tires don't fold. The DuraSkin folders can be carried in a jersey pocket or a saddle bag, while the wire bead tires remain full-size, regardless of whether they're already installed.
