Tioga City Slicker 26" tire

Looking to start commuting, but aren’t ready to replace your mountain bike? Or maybe you maybe you’re figuring out you hardly ever ride your mountain bike off-road. Well the Tioga City Slicker is a quick and easy way to get your mountain bike ready for the “urban trails.” Smooth tread with grooves for rain mean you’ll be rolling faster AND lasting longer than a knobby. With 2 sizes to fit most rims, you’ll be set on whatever roads you ride.

Keep in mind, the smaller the tire, the less rolling resistance you’ll have. But that also means less “bump absorption” and more possibility for pinch flats if you’re a bigger rider, or tend to hit potholes or curbs. Larger tires reduce pinch flats, make for a “smoother” ride, but have more resistance to pedal against.
