After looking at the cost of tires at my bike shop, I looked at what was on Amazon...Having at least some knowledge of Bell, I checked these out. Not needing something fancy these were worth a try.They were very easy to put on, look really nice and unbeatable costs.Will buy again just to have spares.

I like these tires...they are a bit fatter than my old tires and way more durable....the thickness was immediately noticeable. I've only been on five rides since I put them on, but I'm completely stoked with them so far. Great price.Would recommend.

If size is compatible and you have the right tools, installation is easy. Quality is good. Fit was good. Bike rides comfortably.

Here’s a fact most bike riders know to be true - tires you get straight from the factory on any given bike will be sure to fail within the first couple hundred miles.In addition, the tread is often “safety” oriented, I.e., an all-purpose design meant to keep you planted on the ground while not necessarily worrying about rolling resistance.The tread on these Bell tires is best described as hybrid. Good for general road use but I wouldn’t recommend them for gravel or off-road usage.If you’re looking for a lightweight tire, you might want to go elsewhere. Possibly because of the thicker rubber compound, these are hefty, to say the least. In fact, these are the heaviest bike tires I’ve ever come across in this size range - and I’ve been riding bikes for 60 years.These are rated at 50 to 75 psi but I generally keep them around 60. Gives the proper amount of rolling resistance I’m looking for without worrying about premature tread wear due to inflation at the maximum level.And there is definitely no arguing with the price. I seriously doubt you can find this tire for $20 anywhere else!

I got three flats in a week with my old tires. After installing these, I've been flat free. They seem okay quality and are priced fairly. Not the greatest ever, but for the money they are fine. I ride on Detroit streets where every square inch is a puncture hazard.

Rugged tire but rides smooth. I pulled a piece of glass out frome it and it didn't harm the tube.

Got this tire for the reason of quick delivery. It comes completely flat, as on the picture, so it needs to be curved to be installed. Had a hell of a time installing it. After several minutes, it popped out on the side, which caused tube to explode. Had more luck with the next tube, and rode it for a while. But when that one went flat, while replacing the tube, tire popped out on the side again, and I managed to deflate the tube and prevented damage. On the second attempt, tire popped out again, and the tube exploded. Almost like the diameter is too large, although it declares nominal diameter of 700c. Out of the return window, so it goes to disposal. Not recommended.

I'm a senior citizen and have been bicycling since I was knee high. I've tried and used many brands and types of tires over the years. This is the best all around tire that I've ever had the pleasure of riding on.

Es la segunda vez que compro llantas de esta marca y con las dos he quedado encantado, pero esta vez aún más, son suaves pero no demasiado al grado de que su durabilidad es bastante buena, pues vivo en zona de 30C como media y he estado rodando bastante, probé anteriormente las 40 mm pero eran demasiado anchas para mi cuadro y rozaban, y estás ultimas (40 mm) si se desgastaron a mi parecer muy velozmente, en agua tienen excelente drenaje y a altas velocidades en descensos se sienten estables, otro plus es que puedo jugar un poco con las presiones, y eso me favorece mucho para las horribles calles de aquí, contras? SON MUY PESADAS, pero a mi eso no me genera inconveniente.

Ya llevo muchos km con estas llantas y se sienten bastante bien, las he metido en cerro y en ciudad, lluvia y noble han fallado, si me he pinchado pero si le han resistido muy bien2023, actualizo la reseña, ya por fin me las acabe, me han gustado mucho duraron 3 años y muchas rodadas tanto en carretera como en sendero, alguna vez las metí en montaña y funcionaron bastante bien, espero las pongan a la venta de nuevo y compraré 2 pares

UPDATE: have 130 miles on tires now, front isn't worn much but rear is getting lower on tread. Think I'm gonna get 200-2250 miles total on the rear before I need to replace the rear. I'm prob 200lbs with all my gear. Riding bike on mix of tarmac 35%, gravel 50%, dirt 15% of the miles. No flats yet and tires still are rolling round and true)Down to 4 stars due to the quick wear. A good value if you need a replacement or just don't ride much. I'm putting more miles than expected and will likely try a more pricy tire next.I measured mine to be closer to 41.5-42mm with calipers at the wide part of tread, these were the 700x40mm tires. Mounted on 19mm Inner width rims, so plan for more than the 40mm width.Tread looks great for gravel, good enough for dry/damp dirt for sure too. We'll see how it lasts, but seems like a bargain. Tires mounted well and seem uniform with no real high spots or wobble. I mounted on a budget gravel bike build.Good to try if you are building a gravel bike or need a 40mm grippy tire and want to start cheap. No flats with over 100 miles on them! Running about 50-60psi rear. 40 or so in front

When I frist got these I was worried they wouldn't fit a classic bicycle. They fit great and look good would recommend for any classic bicycle.

Al principio dudé por los pocos comentarios que encontré pero por el precio son una muy buena opción híbrida, tienen buen tacto y buen agarre y el plus es la cara lateral reflejante y el kevlar. Algo que me encantó es que el dibujo cubre toda la rueda incluyendo los laterales, lo que asegura un muy buen agarre en las curvas y en todas las condiciones. Llegaron en tiempo.
