Panaracer Fire XC Pro K folding tire

It’s tough to get a mountain bike tire that has great traction on just about any trail, great cornering, AND still have low rolling resistance and a tread compound that will last for more than a few rides. The Panaracer Fire XC Pro with kevlar does that, and adds puncture resistance and their “anti-snake bite” to lessen the chances of pinch-flatting. Aside from having a set of tires for every trail, this is the next best thing. It’s not hard to see why it won Bicycling Magazine’s 2004 “Editors’ Choice” award.
