Date Reviewed: January 2, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$10.00 | | Purchased At: | PerformanceBike.com | | Strengths: | price
no problems with flats
handles curbs well
1.5 is a practical size | | Weaknesses: | difficult to get on/off rim
noisy (rubbery squeaky) during lots-of-lean turns
| | Similar Products Used: | had some Continentals on the bike YEARS ago | | Bike Setup: | '94 Raleigh M30 (rigid) commuter | | Bottom Line: | Not BAD tires, though not GREAT tires. I wasn't sure if I was going to get back into riding so I went cheap and got these. I'm probably going to switch to Geax Street Runners or Roadsters this year though. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$12.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance Bike | | Strengths: | Comfortable ride
Inexpensive | | Weaknesses: | Not light
hard to get on / off rim
(Kevlar bead might help with both?) | | Similar Products Used: | Kenda Kwick Roller | | Bike Setup: | These came on an inexpensive Peformance comfort bike. Later I put them on my mountain bike for city use, that one is a Specialized Rockhopper. | | Bottom Line: | A decent tire. I'd like to find a kevlar beaded urban tire, with higher max psi. Forte City max's at 65 psi, a common max for a 1.5" wide city tire, but I'd like to see 90 psi for less rolling resistance.
Overall this Forte tire suits its purpose, especially for the price. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
