| 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Good Tire, By Camera Shy (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Kenda K40 Street Tire, 27 x 1-3/8 Wire Gum Wall (Misc.) I have a 1975 Schwinn Continental bike. Yes, old school. However, compared to bikes being sold today; not far off the competition. So instead of replacing the bike, I decided to replace the tires and tubes. The original tires on this bike were Kenda 27" x 1-1/4" tires. I up-sized to the 27" x 1-3/8" tires and tubes with the hope of getting a little softer ride now that I'm 35 years older than when I bought the bike. The old Kenda tires (exactly the same composition of the new tires) never dry-rotted. One did develop a flat spot from sitting so long (and hence why I replaced them).I had no problems with fit, it does provide a slightly softer ride, and without any noticeable difference in tire size to the eye. The front tire change couldn't have been easier and faster. Of course, as with any bike, the rear took longer to deal with the chain and the rear wheel gear sprocket; still reasonably easy. Neither front nor back tire change required brake removal if you...

This is a good solid gumwall tire-The 1 3/8 size is just a tad bigger than the traditional 1 1/4 gumwall- and it's a competitive price even with shipping you probably won't beat locally. I'm using mine for a bit more rubber on the back of a bike with motor- otherwise it's a nice size for someone heavier or a great commuter tire, for a bike with baskets For more serious road riding, you can get 27" tires in 1 1/4"(32mm) , 1 1/8" (28mm) and even 1 inch widths (25.4mm)- The smaller the width, the faster the roll, but also the faster the wear. A wider width gives a little higher profile and more rim protection. This Kenda is a good traditional tire at a great price! old rider, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Kenda K40 Street Tire, 27 x 1-3/8 Wire Gum Wall (Misc.) I put these tires on a bike from the 70s, they are strong and look like the original tires. These will give you a less rigid ride, i went from 1-1/8 to these 1-3/8 and the differance is amazing. They do not increase the rolling resistance enough to worry about, I ride for pleasure and exercise, so these are great for me. Before you buy be certain to check the clearance, my bike is very close but others may not fit. |
