WTB Slick 29” x 2.2” Commuter Bike Tire, Wire Bead, Puncture Protection, DNA Rubber Compound, All-Weather Traction, Black Sidewall

These tires are amazing grip, quality and the looks is beyond my expectations.

I have an XL Marlin 5 and along with the XR3's it comes with I also have 2 other sets of off-road tires. I wanted a MTB tire that was good on pavement and trails. It doesn't exist. After purchasing Schwalbe Fat Franks and really not liking them, I decided on these. One of my favorite rides I do most often is a 5 mile loop 6-8 times that is 100% roads. I do the loop because I don't like carrying stuff on my bike unless I have to (extra tube, pump), so if I do get a flat I am at most 2.5 miles from home. I can deal with a 3 mile walk.7/13/21 UPDATEOn my 2nd ride with these I ran over a nail and popped tire. Take that how you want to but I find it peculiar I got a flat so fast. Could be just a coincidence but it seems to me that these are not puncture resistant at all. If I get another flat soon I will update and knock it down 1 star.These are everything you'd expect them to be compared to MTB tires: quiet, smooth, fast and cool looking. Instantly makes your 29er look faster and cooler. Super simple putting on. I am rolling on 51psi and it is nice and firm but still allowing the slicks to really touch the road. I ride road bikes too and a 2.2" slick compared to a 1" slick is insane. You get the road tire speed and comfort with the grip of a MTB which is really noticeable around corners. You can feel the edges of the tire digging in and it allows you to speed through corners confidently.I feel like I stumbled upon a monster with these shoes on my Marlin 5. I can get up around 40mph and average around 20. With MTB tires I was maxing out at 32 & 18, respectively. Those extra MPH's are really noticeable to me. Throw in the fact that it is a 29" tire over 2" wide and you still get the off-roading capabilities of a MTB. I am not saying these should be your trail shoes, but if your ride/commute has a bit of off-road stuff you'll be fine.They seem solid but do not have kevlar so we'll see how easy it punctures.Cannot recommend these enough! Ordered 2 and they came in separate huge boxes, not bent up or anything. Most tires I get come balled or in no packaging at all, so that was nice.I will update this if I have any issues. I will also update with mileage when they have seen their last ride. Do yourself a favor and get these shoes! You will not be dissappointed.

These replaced my knobbly tires on an MTB for city use. The difference in ride smoothness was readily apparent. I love these tires. No flats so far, but I haven't used them for a long time yet

My bike came with 29x2.60 off road tires but must of the time I use my bike in the city with paved roads, I decided to use this tires 29x2.20 in order to save my original expensive tires for long weekend off-road rides. This tires have good grip for paved streets but there is an issue for me: " small stones or rocks" get into the grooves that make me feels like the tire is flat, it is annoying.But after several rides you get used to it after a while, if you are like me that don't like the feeling of flat tire the solution is to stop and remove them but several times in one ride it's annoying.On gravel roads you don't feel the stones in the grooves and I can say that so far they have been reliable with about 200 miles of use.Based on that I recommend the tires until now, no flat tires so far and they have demonstrated to me good grip on wet paved roads.

Unfortunately, I don't always get to ride my mountain bike down an actual Mountain, sad but true. Even though I have a regular commuter bike to ride to work occasionally I do want to spend time on my MTB. I bought these tires so I could run my mountain bike on the road as smoothly as my commuter bike and was expecting tires similar to what I have on my commuter bike. I was surprised at how beefy these tires were the thickness of the rubber was just as heavy-duty as my Maxis off-road tires just smooth instead of knobby. Before I purchased I anticipated having to be careful to not get flats or be sure to take it easy with these wheels. But as it turns out these tires are tougher than I anticipated and they do make Writing On Pavement super smooth with plenty of channels for handling the wet.

Finally wore out my old bike tires and decided to try these WTB Slick 29x2.2 and I absolutely love them. Got them on sale for $27.95 each (originally $41 each) so I thought they were a bargain to try. Took me 30 minutes to install these and new break pads on my 29 inch GX7- 7 speed beach cruiser. I'm 59 yrs old, 6' 1" tall and 247 lbs and run these tires at 45 lbs, I usually ride 5 to 8 miles a day when I can and I only have about 20 miles on them so far but I APSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!! I'm buying another set for when I ware these out. A MUST HAVE TIRE YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH!!!

The media could not be loaded. Besides being smooth riding and surprisingly fast these tires are comfortable. That’s a lot for a tire that is on the economical end of 29” tires. I didn’t weigh these tire but it actually feels rather light. The tread will serve to disperse rain water for safer wet weather riding.The only issue I have with this tire is that the tread does not run true as can be seen in the video. This has no implications for me as I ride slow. If someone decides to use it for high speeds or god forbid a high speed Ebike this is concerning. I don’t recommend this tire for this reason.

The media could not be loaded. Easy use. Easy install. Almost 1,000 miles traveled on this set so far. Doing fantastic and very efficient. I commute 10 miles to work and back able to average between 15-22mph on these tires versus the previous cross-terrain tires that came on the bike (which had my average speed between 12 and 17 mph..)and with a switch over to mag wheels with these tires it flies faster now. Very impressed for the quality with the price and fast deliveryI HAVE tenderly rode on these off road trail terrain gravel and rock and red dirt and sand and mud and if you ride with in reason and clean them frequently they continue to ride my 10 mile commute like I have been for weeks as well. No flats. No slime in my tubes. Regular tubes as well.In idea towards preventative maintenance I will be adding thicker slime filled tubes as well
