Pair 700x38C Gravel Bike Tyres - Foldable 40-622 with 1mm Anti Puncture

Last tyres I bought were December 2022. Managed to squeeze 6k miles and only reordering a new pair now (Sep 2023) as my rear tyre needs replacing. This is the only supllier I've been getting my tyres from for the past ~3 years, never had any issues. I don't think you can beat the price for the quality that you're rewarded with. Tyres are robust which can make it challenging to remove but other than that they're top notch.

Not bombproof but a good compromise between cost and function.

So ive been using these for a few months, im a fairly heavy build and obviously due to that tyres tend to ware down rather quicker that normal, now that im trying to loose a bit of weight these tyres seem yo been doing the trick, after 3 months cycling to work approx 5 mile round trip 5 days a week. No sign of damage or durability loss. Not even a puncture. Im impressed. Not going to lie i had difficulty actually getting the tryes on to the bike but did eventually. They fit snug and i will probably order another pair as a replacement. Highly recommended.

Installed these yesterday and i can echo they aren’t the easier tyre to fit. Given there stuff construction they are far from hard to fit. Just gotta have a decent technique. Compound feels very soft and grippy and sizing was perfect. Very glad I brought these.

These are really tough to get on, but are definitely worth it! I was frequently getting punctures with the original tyres supplied with new bike, and was getting extremely annoyed at the inconvenience. Bought these, and hey presto, no more punctures since - it's been at least 18 months since I fitted them. There are bike tyre pincer type tools which can assist with fitting them if needed, as the tyres are very stiff. I managed to get them on without the tool the first time, but needed it after removing one at a bike maintenance workshop.

Impossible to fit, way too tight. I've fitted thousands of tyres, these are impossible. Avoid.

These tyres are truly awful. I am now in the process of having to get professional help for something that I have successfully completed many many times before. Trying to lever the tyre onto the wheel for the last section has proved an impossible task. All hints, tips and tricks have failed. Having totally checked the size and dimensions, ( They match exactly the tyre I am trying to replace ) I am totally at a loss how these cannot be fitted. For all the rave reviews I read, I have to say they have proved to be utterly wrong. A terrible purchase. No help from the suppliers. A very poor tyre. SO THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL COMMENT. The circumstances changed when I was contacted by Nadia from Fincci. She arranged some replacement tyres that, although for the same road cycle wheel, were 700x40c with 28x1.6 measurement which as you might expect I have been able to fit. Certainly the QUALITY of the first tyre and those that were replacement are very high. It was just that the first set cost me 4x £8 inner tubes and then a professional fitting by a cycle specialist who really knows his cycles and he is a Transcontinental Unsupported Race competitor who used specialist shop equipment to fit the original tyre, which of course is not available to you if you are cycling out yourselves. In truth, Nadia has made all the difference through her customer service and knowledge of their products. All I can add is that, if you purchase the first tyre I did, get to the point I did, do not keep trying and detroying expensive slime tubes or whatever. STOP, send them back and get something like I did which can be fitted at home or on the road without specialist help.

Highly Recommend. I commute to work most days on cycle, mostly roads, approx 100km per week. Every 2-4 weeks I would usually pick up a puncture. I have had these tyres now for over 1 year and not had 1 puncture! They are excellent.

Good antipuncture tyres

A mí me han ido perfectas, tanto al montarlas como a su uso. Aunque son para una bici de ciudad yo las uso para hacer deporte, ya tienen meses y muchos Km. y están en perfecto estado.

Ho montato le gomme , vanno bene, sono scorrevoli.

Desde que las puse no he pinchado

I bought these tires for my older Specialized Crosstrail. It’s an older heavy hybrid. It was my first “Bike Shop” bike. It’s still a great ride. I mainly use it now as my morning workout bike and as a beach cruiser. Until recently I had only used Specialized brand tires. I keep specialized tires on my main bike, but they are expensive and only available through Specialized authorized retailers, of which there are none in the area I spend most of my summer. So, after doing some research I landed on these. I stick with puncture resistant tires because I ride on roads which tend to have a lot of debris in the shoulders and without puncture resistant tires, I was averaging at LEAST one flat a month and frequently more. First let me address everyone who complained about these tires arriving “folded”. These are NOT big discount store, el cheapo tires. Many higher end tires either come folded or in both folder and flat options. My primary tires, Specialized Armadillos, only come folded. And they cost twice as much. I prefer folded. I find folded tires, with their nylon beads, are substantially easier to install. And these tires were very easy to install. BTW, if you’re new to this, get yourself some good tire levers. I like the Park Tools ones. DO NOT use a screwdriver to mount/dismount your tires!!! I wanted to give these tires a few weeks of riding before writing a review. The ride is very smooth and comfortable. No issues with traction. Interestingly, on my last ride I was thinking that these tires ride really nice and that I need to get a review written. Then my rear tire got a flat. My first thought was “so much for puncture resistance”. Before dismounting the tire, I looked for the cause of the flat and could find no punctures or foreign objects in the tire. After dismounting I found the flat was caused by a spot where the Velox tape had shifted and the sharp edge of a spoke nut hole was exposed. I’m embarrassed to say that I usually failed to check to replace or even check the Velox the last few times I replaced tires or inner tubes. My Bad. So, in summary. This is a smooth riding, easy to install tire and so far seems to providing adequate puncture resistance. It’s a premium tire at a reasonable price. A good choice.
