Soon I will be looking for some big balloon tires. I have narrowed my search essentially down to the Electra Diamond patterned tires,

https://www.electrabike.com/store/

...or Felt Quick Bricks, either in cream or whitewall.

So my question is, which of the two do you guys prefer..? Is one better than the other in terms of quality, ride..? Are they different in terms of size? I'd like to run fenders over them, and my fenders aren't quite balloon, but also aren't quite middleweight (kind of intermediate- they should hug the tires nicely but I do need to keep the potential size restriction in mind. Thanks guys, any opinions would be appreciated..!
 
i dont know about any ride differences(havent ridden any electra tires) but personally i like the look of felts tread better.......






yeah im shallow :roll:
 
looks of the tires mean everything to me. if they ride great and looks like crap, i wont buy em. but if they look sweet but sound like a jeep with swampboggers on ashpalt, well, i dont know, i might not buy em. :lol: personally the diamond pattern are the coolest tread ive ever seen. if only they came in black or whitewall.. :mrgreen:
