Slick Road Tires On A Mountain Bike

If you have 27.5 mountain bike wheels, and you want to put some slick road tires on them, you can do it. In this video I show you which slick road tires are available for 27.5 inch mountain bike wheels. If you have 26 inch wheels, there are a lot more options, but there are still some good tires available for the street if you have a 26 or 27.5 inch mountain bike. If you want to run high-pressure slick tires on your mountain bike, you can do it. I put 27.5 x 1.95 WTB Thickslick tyres on my 27.5 inch mountain bike wheels, and it rolls a lot easier and goes faster with the new road tires than it did on knobby tires.
This is where I got the slick tires I put on my bike.

I put semi-slicks on my Kona Cinder Cone twenty years ago. I use my bike 90% on roads and 'good' bike paths. They rock!

Running Big Apple 29" x 2, 25 on my bike for 4 years now. Never had a puncture well over 15000 miles.
And surprisingly useful on like trails and sand.

"I could get on my bike and catch up to those guys but I have a previous commitment to my fish tacos"

Honestly best review on these tires thank you.

It's weird that these don't come as an option when buying the bike as the overwhelming majority of people will never take them off-road anyway

[Zieloniutki]

The schwalbe moto x 27.5 would also be a good road tire for your mountainbike i think. Mostly used for very fast electric bikes.

I snatched a set of nice beach cruiser tires off a bike I found by. Dumpster. They looked almost new. It has made a big difference with city street riding.

I've been using Schwalbe Big Apple on my 29ers for over ten years. Nothing compares.

I’ve got maxxis hookworms on my powerfly, it’s set up like a bmx bike, the way I describe it is a supermoto bicycle lol

[manchesterexplorer]

I've retromoded my 1991 KONA Hei Hei to be used as an adult urban BMX bike that's using MAXXIS 26X2.3 DTH tires .

The ending was my favorite part and the tacos made me hungry

[MacMcQuack]

Great video, simple to the point and informative! I often find myself in the same situation with the Tacos.... I know I could race but always seem to have taocs in my hand...

I had Schwalbe Kojaks on my 2009 Cannondale Caffeine F1, at the beginning of 2011. DT swiss xr400 white rims, Dt swiss rear hub, SI cannondale white lefty hub and a11-28 rear cassette A weapon.

I continued getting punctures on my marida big 9 mountain bike

I was only riding on paths and light gravel

Now I have had some Chaoyang sprint tyres fitted.
So far so good
