TLDR: these are fantastic I ordered these about 4 months ago and figured I would wait to give a full review. Out of the box these are fantastic for a commuter tire, no more filling them with air, no more punctures, no more worrying about flattening the rear tire because of the added groceries weight, just install them and move on. The installation process was a little time consuming because of the pins, but I've had regular tires that were harder to put on, budget about 20 minutes/one beer per tire. Getting them on the tire can be a little tricky, but I ended up using the zip tie they came with to hold one side on and it was much easier, also the rubber is stretchy which helps, otherwise a friend would be a good idea. Once they pins click in place these arent going anywhere, including I am pretty sure off of the rim, I think you would have to cut it off if you ever wanted to remove it. The other review are correct that it has a slick coating for the first 100 miles, But I was able to remove it super quickly by doing a few laps along a gravel road so if you have one available that is an option. Ride quality wise they are a little stiff at first, but an equivalent sized gatorskin tire is much worse and these get a little softer after the break in period. The only downside I have noticed is that during cornering because they dont deform to the road they will slide out a little earlier then a regular tire, but for commuter purposes you shouldnt be cornering that hard anyway and at 40mm they are wide enough you shoudnt worry unless you are trying to race on them. I put them on an ebike so I am not sure but I also suspect these have a higher rolling resistance compared to other tires but I have not noticed because of the motor. Overall I have put almost 700 miles on them over gravel, bike path and road and there has been no deformation and minimal wear. The only things I would suggest changing would be to make the design a little more grippy, and to wait for the color choice you want. But if you are looking for a fire and forget commuter tire these are it. Honestly I'm not even sure where my bike pump is at this point.

There are two themes in my critique in that of user friendliness and adequate information. First however, one thing that was kinda a shock, there is nothing to plug the hole in the rim. In a facetious gesture they provide a patch kit, like ha ha. Living near the ocean salt is everywhere and a hole on a rim is not ideal, went to the hardware store, got an automotive plug. A missed opportunity for a sticker or plug that could help advertise the tires. When purchasing mtb tires there is plenty of info and pics to ensure a good purchase. Getting the box and reading the riding limitations was something that should have been available prior to purchase. How about a sticker with the size of the pins on the bag(s), a universal one would work. Both the chart online and the written instructions gave incorrect info when choosing the pins, putting the tires on two different size rims they were 0-2. Different installation info is scattered or hidden on the video, the website and in the box. Putting the tire in the sun was most helpful, did it on the second wheel a few days before installing. Getting the tires on is like reading Crime and Punishment, better once done. The best analogy for the ride is that of a sports car, a bit stiffer but made to go fast. My bike has locking front suspension so I can alter the ride quality on the fly. Have already run over a nail, pulled it out kept riding. Good once on, set and forget. Gravel tires or dirt path able, would've been my choice.

Well lets begin with, great product!! I bought the tire armor. While you do not sell it in my size yet, i purchased a size up and cut to fit. They feel firm, yet take some of the bumps from trails and roads. The smoothness and feel while a plus, the real reason for buying these was because of glass. Other tire liners give you 1-2mm of wimpy protection. Your liners stop glass before it pops my tube!! I have been spending hundreds of dollars a year on tubes and tires, your liners have put an end to that. While I don't expect them to last forever with as much glass as there is here in the inner city, I have been flat free since installation. I am very tempted to try your flat free tires now. You do make those in my size!! Yay!! " Tannus, the company that saved biking in the city!!!" is what the people of the future will say. I'm sold on these. Great product, keep up the good work!! The people on the motorized bike forums i've told about these, are pretty excited. We've been waiting for over a decade for something like this to hit the market. I'm willing to bet if you design a tire specifically for the motorized bike community, it will have a huge fan fair behind it. Thanks again for the great product, and good wishes to the whole team down there at Tannus. New Fan Phillip M

I've been riding here in Arizona for 8 years, cactus and glass abound and flat flat flat, bought tannus slick 100lb 700-25c for my Reynolds aero 90 carbon wheels and yeah no FLATS. Yeah at first some rolling resistance but not a lot, just a mile per hour or so, now after riding these for 1 year my leg muscles have compensated for that and I'm back up to speed, so very nice to ride anywhere and not worry about fixing a flat. I'm riding a tririg omni and no quick release levers to stick out in the wind they use Allen bolts for aero, so tougher to remove a wheel and stand the bike somewhere during repair. These tires are holding up well as I've ridden about 1200 miles and can still see the center ridge so they are holding up to the road wear. I'm going to put a set of 700-25c 110 lbs (hard) on my Renovo wood bike with aero 72 mm wheels to see how these work. I drove to Tucson AZ. And had the bike shop that sells them mount them as that was difficult but they did it the same day and for $30. So nice to just concentrate on the ride, not is that tire going flat, they help in training at first then you'll outrun the pack.... Highly recomended super fun to ride... Thanks Tannus

I ride about 6,000 miles per year in a mix of commuting and distance riding. I put the first pair of Tannus tires on my commuting bike, and now also have them on both of my road bikes. I’m very happy with the Tannus tires and couldn’t imagine going back to regular bike tires. Here are a few details about my experience: -I’ve read reviews that talk about a 5% speed reduction, which I haven’t experienced. They feel like normal tires, normal speeds, no change in rolling behavior. They’re normal bike tires. -Installation was pretty simple, although I’m experienced at bike repairs. It took 60 minutes to install my first one, and 30 minutes each for the other five tires. -I have my own weight scale and weighed the differences before and after. The weight differences are negligible. For example, the rear wheel of a road bike weighed 4.1lbs when equipped with continental 4000’s (with tube and rim tape also). The same wheel with the Tannus portal tire is 4.2lbs. On my commuting bike the weight change per wheel was 1.5 ounces per wheel. Summary: very happy with my decision. Anyone want to buy a used air pump? :-)

These are a bear to get on the rims, I put them on last night and I'm a little sore this morning. The best way I found to install them, get all of the plastic retention pins installed in the tire. With the rim standing up start back side of tire into top of rim. Snap 3 or 4 pins into the rim to hold in place. With the provide tool start working the tire around the rim like you would do to install a normal tire using tire levers. Once tire is stretched around the rim, you can use the provided tool to snap all of the top side pin into place, as the pins snap in place push down on tire and you will feel the bead lock into place. Then turn the tire over and you will have to snap the first 3 or 4 pin you started with from the opposite side of the tire. Then inspect all the pins on both side to make sure they are all lock into the rim. This review is for how they install. I will write another review for how the tires perform on the road once I get a chance to take them for a spin. So far I like them, just know it is a work out to get them installed. I wouldn't want to do that every day.

I bought a set of 700x28 @110PSI a year ago for my single speed bike and they are great, so this my review: Installation was a bit hard to get the tire into the rim and it took a bit of effort since it has to be tight. They replaced tires that ran at 100PSI so at first, you can feel every crack, stone, or any debris that you roll over. The recommend breakdown period is 80 miles, but to me it was after 300 miles that it stopped noticing these...or maybe I just used to. I ride on the road along with traffic 95% of the time so I'm often forced to roll over whatever debris are flushed off to the side, so having not to worry about getting a flat frees my mind to focus on navigating the road. I love the fact that I don't have to carry a spare tube and a pump anymore. They guarantee these tires up to 5000 miles. Being and avid biker, I put 600 miles in one year, so this might very well be the last set of tires Ill buy. I'm switching all my bikes to Tannus tires as the current pneumaticntitea wear off.

I got my first set of Tannus solid tires nearly 3 months and 60+ rides ago. They are great. I never worry about a flat, and they honestly don't feel any different from what I had been used to with tubed tires. In other words, I didn't feel any weight difference. Normally, in this (summer) time of riding, I would have gone through at least one new tube and one new tire (plus multiple patches). But now...none of that. I ride on paved roads in the Appalachian mountains, and these are great. And just the other week, I was riding when I suddenly felt something "klicking" under me. I stopped, and I saw this 2-inch spike (flat-sided, no-head flooring nail) sticking out of my Tannus tire. I got a pair of pliers, pulled it out (about 3/4 inch was outside the tire, about 1-1/4 inch inside!), and I really couldn't even see where the nail had been. I got back on, went on to complete my ride, and have ridden another half-dozen times (so far). With the Tannus tire, that nail never happened!

I had a frustrating year with flat tires, at least 15 flats from April to July. I bought the Tannus Portal 700 28C, and installed them August 2, 2020. Currently have 217 miles on them. They ride and feel like normal tires. I am really happy with them, there is no difference in performance for me. They are a little hard to get on, but not impossible, I actually had to take them off and add a second layer of rim tape as my rims are deep, but reinstalling them a second time was a lot easier. They are light, though possibly slightly heavier than my prior Tube/ Tire/ tube liner combo, but if you account for the removal of the patch kit, tube repair kit, hand pump, and wrench then the tubeless setup is a lot lighter. I even got rid of the pouch that I stored all this stuff in. Since I had them installed I also pulled a thumb tack, a metal sliver, and a small nail out of these tires. I recommend them to anyone who wants to spend more time riding than fixing flats.

I put these on my brand new Brompton M6 - Prime Mover in RED! My Brompton is Black, silver and red. Looks AWESOME with the red tires. I am a heavier rider...loosing weight fast! The tires DEFINITELY need to be worn in. At first they are VERY squishy and feel unstable in turns. This is NORMAL! I now have 250 miles on the tires and they are a DREAM!! Broken in they are stiff and stable in any condition...rain or shine, paved or gravel. It is incredible not having to even think about where I am riding and wonder if I will flat. I don't have to carry spare tubes, tire tools or pump! AWESOME!! Keep in mind, the tires are a WORKOUT to get on! That's a good thing though,...it just means they won't accidentally come off. I HIGHLY recommend getting these tires on your Brompton or any other bike you might have. I ride my Brompton EVERYWHERE. I commute, run errands and will eventually travel with it. Not having to worry about my tires is such a great feeling!!
