Has anyone tried these tires?

[mitchelangelo]

They are on Niagara Cycles site - CST City C1218 Tire - 26 x 2.125, Black/Black

If so.. how are they are as far as width and height? Some 26x2.125's are definitely not the same. The price is great and I have bought several other items from them.
Thanks for any feedback!

Dang, you just about can't go wrong at that price. I've never tried a set of those but it looks like a nice street tread pattern on them.

I have those on my Roadster. Mine are branded as Kustom Kruiser, along with the bike. I bet its the same tire mold. I really like them. They are smooth rolling. They are on the large side compared to some other 2.125's. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them if you want a balloon tire and you like the tread design. My rims are fairly wide. Hope that helps.

Mitch, I do not have that tire,but the comparison to the Kustom Kruiser tire prompts my response. I have the KK tire too and they are identical to my Duro all red tires. Now the Duro website shows a " Beach Bum " tire that might be the same too. Anyhow, expect a good tire from CST, and probably wide at the tread. Notice the square shoulder ?

Unfortunately, once you add the shipping cost, thay are about the same $$ as your LBS...IF your LBS has them.

My LBS is the internet. I have to compare shipping cost to driving at least 50 miles to and 50 miles from a bike shop, figure in time lost and shipping doesn't look so bad anymore.

Man, I didn't know it was even possible to get 50 miles from the nearest LBS. :shock:

good rolling..nice looking tire..the real full wide of 2125 tire, my opinion.

Lots of people take it for granted. My sister lives in downtown Richmond, VA, she can't throw a dead cat without hitting a bike shop.

When I moved to this town we had 1, but they were not stocking and hardly taking any work and they closed not long after I got into bikes, I'm not in the middle of nowhere, I am about 10 minutes from Interstate 95 and 10 minutes from the Virginia border, but the closest shop is way downtown Rocky Mount (50 miles away).

Whenever I go out of town it is a huge treat for me to go into a bike shop.

they were 27 dollars and some change including shipping for a pair. Way cheaper than bike shops around here. ..even Walmart and K-mart. Man those are all some good looking rides posted too!!
