I bought a set of 700x28 @110PSI a year ago for my single speed bike and they are great, so this my review: Installation was a bit hard to get the tire into the rim and it took a bit of effort since it has to be tight. They replaced tires that ran at 100PSI so at first, you can feel every crack, stone, or any debris that you roll over. The recommend breakdown period is 80 miles, but to me it was after 300 miles that it stopped noticing these...or maybe I just used to. I ride on the road along with traffic 95% of the time so I'm often forced to roll over whatever debris are flushed off to the side, so having not to worry about getting a flat frees my mind to focus on navigating the road. I love the fact that I don't have to carry a spare tube and a pump anymore. They guarantee these tires up to 5000 miles. Being and avid biker, I put 600 miles in one year, so this might very well be the last set of tires Ill buy. I'm switching all my bikes to Tannus tires as the current pneumaticntitea wear off.

These are a bear to get on the rims, I put them on last night and I'm a little sore this morning. The best way I found to install them, get all of the plastic retention pins installed in the tire. With the rim standing up start back side of tire into top of rim. Snap 3 or 4 pins into the rim to hold in place. With the provide tool start working the tire around the rim like you would do to install a normal tire using tire levers. Once tire is stretched around the rim, you can use the provided tool to snap all of the top side pin into place, as the pins snap in place push down on tire and you will feel the bead lock into place. Then turn the tire over and you will have to snap the first 3 or 4 pin you started with from the opposite side of the tire. Then inspect all the pins on both side to make sure they are all lock into the rim. This review is for how they install. I will write another review for how the tires perform on the road once I get a chance to take them for a spin. So far I like them, just know it is a work out to get them installed. I wouldn't want to do that every day.

I ride about 6,000 miles per year in a mix of commuting and distance riding. I put the first pair of Tannus tires on my commuting bike, and now also have them on both of my road bikes. I’m very happy with the Tannus tires and couldn’t imagine going back to regular bike tires. Here are a few details about my experience: -I’ve read reviews that talk about a 5% speed reduction, which I haven’t experienced. They feel like normal tires, normal speeds, no change in rolling behavior. They’re normal bike tires. -Installation was pretty simple, although I’m experienced at bike repairs. It took 60 minutes to install my first one, and 30 minutes each for the other five tires. -I have my own weight scale and weighed the differences before and after. The weight differences are negligible. For example, the rear wheel of a road bike weighed 4.1lbs when equipped with continental 4000’s (with tube and rim tape also). The same wheel with the Tannus portal tire is 4.2lbs. On my commuting bike the weight change per wheel was 1.5 ounces per wheel. Summary: very happy with my decision. Anyone want to buy a used air pump? :-)
