26 Inch Bike Solid Tire

These were a perfect fit for my bike. My rear tire kept getting holes from the rim so these solved the problem. They simply won't go flat. Installation is not that difficult if you put them out in the sun to expand them. Work them around the rim slowly and use zip ties to hold in place. I used a large flat wrench handle to work the tire in to the rim. They fit tight and tighten more when they cool down. I think they were a great value at two for $55.00. The ride is a lil harder but not un comfortable. So to be they are well worth the money and I really like them.

The tread on tire has no grip is not easy to install and after installing and trying I would not recommend these was hoping for a great product but got these instead I ended up putting the original tires back on

Here's my life's story: My original tyres got a snake-bite puncture after hitting a pothole. I replaced them with those supposedly reliable Slime-brand tyres. Within an hour, one of those tyres punctured after running over a staple. The sealant did absolutely nothing except make a huge mess. I switched to solid Catazer tyres instead. I've now ridden well over 100 miles on them, and for my e-bike they've been a extraordinary improvement. My usual cruising speed went from a miserable 13-16 mph to 18-24 mph. I've since sussed out that the larger pneumatic (air-filled) tyres were creating much more rolling resistance, which explains the difference. Pedalling used to feel like Hell on Earth, but now it’s so smooth that sometimes I barely even notice I'm pedalling because the bike just flies. I couldn't be happier. I finally have my freedom back, and I no longer have to worry or stop and repair a puncture every few miles because of glass, staples, or other road debris. P.S. Before buying my Catazer tyres, every single review I saw said they caused a "noticeably" rougher ride, were a nightmare to install, and couldn't handle grass or gravel. Honestly, my experience has been the complete opposite. I installed them with my own bare hands, no tools required. The ride feels 100x smoother to me, and the speed difference puts a grin on my face every time I ride. I don't get the constant "BUH DUMP, BUH DUMP" feeling I had with my pneumatic tyres whenever I hit a pothole. It feels incredibly smooth now, like riding on butter. Gravel can still be a bit sketchy, but that was also true with my old tyres. The difference is that now I don't have to worry about a puncture, a tyre folding around the brakes, or wiping out in the middle of an intersection. For me, switching to these Catazer Solid Tyres has been one of the best investments I've made. - Jay Whizzy

It is impossible to overstate how much of a pain in the ____ these are to install. They have a smaller sidewall than the 26x1.95s they replaced. They are also thinner, must be 26x1.5. These tires are very slippery on any type of sand/dirt. They are also slippery on pavement, but it’s manageable for commuting around town under 20mph, just don’t try to take a corner without slowing way down. They’re not super comfortable, but I don’t have to worry about getting to the bike rack and finding a flat tire. After sitting on the bike rack for a few hours, the tires get dents that make for a bumpy ride for about a half mile until they warm up and relax. This is based on 40*F weather. I’m interested to see how they handle the summer heat, they’ll be softer and hopefully have more grip.

Wow way better than I expected. I was suffering with punctured tires for years on my electric bike. This was actually not that hard to put on. You do need strong hands though. I got it on maybe within 3 minutes. Not bad at all. It rides fast and steady. Yes it is slightly harder than regular tire, but not bad at all, since my seat had a shock absorber which I would recommend for anyone to get. Absolutely love this. I would never go back to pump tires after this. Its crazy that it is not more commonly used. If this tire was slightly softer it may be a bit better since I am 235 lbs and press hard on it, it basically barely changes shape on the bottom. I think there is room for it to be softer for most people. Great job, what an invention!

The first thing I noticed after getting the tires straightened out - was that I was greatly surprised that it was not rock hard rubber but had some resiliency, but still it was tight on the rim. After reading people's notes that were all over the place, and after mounting the two 26" one that I bought, I was surprised at how easy it was for me. I am 78, had bypass surgery a year ago, a total knee replacement 3 months ago, but it was not that difficult to put the tires on. First thing I did as some others did was put them out in the sun on an 80° day for an hour. I cleaned the rim, put one tire into the rim and tied it in place tight with para-cord. Then with a couple of bicycle tire spoons, began moving the tire on inch by inch until it was on. Then made sure it was centered well with the walls on both side were equal all the way around. It took me about 7 to 8 minutes for the first one and about 5 minutes for the second one. I am not in the best of health but with a little thinking, the mounting of these tires is not difficult. I put mine on a yard cart and they roll well on grass or driveway.

Not great for long distance biking. They are also much smaller than the size even on the side of the tire. It said 26x2.195 it was maybe a 26x1.5 at best. Not a lot of shock absorbtion if your looking for a smoother ride. Biking long distance takes almost 2x as long as the regular tires due to rolling resistance

It’s hot Georgia heat Georgia. I’m going down riding in the street. I gotta turn left in the tire comes out the rim and I slide across the highway. Horrible out of these tires. Stay on come on.

So most of the things I read from other reviews about these tires has not matched my experience so far. I've only put about 60kms on them, so take some of this with that in mind. The install was straightforward. The metal tool provided was all I needed as these tires are stretchy enough without heat or grease etc. It does take some effort for sure, and the use of zip ties to hold them in place on the rim did help a lot. As for the ride quality, well it's nothing like I expected it to be. Pedalling is much harder now than I'm used to. I don't know if they're extra sticky, or maybe there's a breaking in period or what, but I have to jump up two or three levels of pedal assist to kinda match what I was getting before. The other thing, and this is completely subjective, is that there are times when it feels like I'm riding on a flat. But I'm not, and I just keep going and going, albeit more slowly than before. Also, when I see a sharp object or scattered glass in my way, I'm not so worried anymore, which is nice considering how many flats I've gotten lately. Overall, I think these are well made and durable tires, but I wouldn't recommend them for non e-bike riders, and althouth the ride is a bit harsher than before, it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

La bicicleta la sentí muy pesada, al pasar por baches o piedras retumba mas el asiento y me entere que es mas fácil que los aros se dañen. Sin embargo estoy conforme con la compra porque ya no me volveré a ponchar, los aros de mi bicicleta son resistentes y mi bicicleta es eléctrica.

The tire is very hard with no compression ability. Meaning... riding on it will feel very bumpy or rough. It does have a low rolling resistance on a smooth surface ..if that all you ride on it will be ok. But on sidewalks, roads, or ground... expect more vibration and mechanical noise.

This does not look safe me. Hardly any thread on the tyre. Plus they are packed bent and do not return to a proper tyre shape. And the plastic looks really cheap. I bought similar tyres for an e-scooter and they did feel like soft rubber. These do not. They feel like cheap made in China toy plastic of the 1980's. They look and feel dangerous.

I had one malfunction and stretch 30 miles from home. Thinking I was the cats ass with bulletproof tires, this could not be further from the truth. I think I warmed it with boiling water to get it on though but I would prefer an insert that has air still.
