Penny Farthing With Solid Tannus
Great Product!! This is the second tire I have bought for my two penny farthing builds. These bikes are meant to have solid tires. I was running a pneumatic tire on the rear but with the Tannus no more goat head worries. Plus it gives me just the right amount of cushion! I will be ordering two tires for my road bike today!

Love these tires!
This is a product that all tire manufacturers should be watching. Bicycle manufacturers should consider these as standard on their road bikes.
Use: Paved/Country roads
Rims: Carbon. Not a scratch from install/pins
Install: There are a lot of videos/concern about installation. My installation experience really wasn’t more difficult than installing a tube or tubeless tire. A lot less mess too. I watched the video, warmed the tire, used the provided tool to seat the pins. Made sure the tire was seated along the rim.
Feel: I purchased the “hard” compound in red from the European Tannus site because the USA site only carried black. When installed they have slightly less bounce than an air tire but they feel the same as my old tubeless road tires when inflated to 90 psi.

500+ miles, one spike later
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!

Great tires for Bike/Running Strollers
I put these tires on my Thule Chariot bike/running stroller and went from getting 1-2 flats per week to 0 flats and 0 maintenance. These are a must have for every bike or running stroller, I save about half an hour a week and $8-16 per week in tubes. These will pay for themselves within weeks. I love them. Also bought the 16" size for the front tire.

These are a must have for every bike or running stroller, I save about half an hour a week and $8-16 per week in tubes. This tire in conjunction with the main tires will pay for themselves within weeks. I love them. Also bought the 20" size for the main tires.

Semi-Slicks Do the Trick!
I swapped my regular tires for my commuter bike. They work great, and I hardly notice a difference. It took me a while to figure out the best way to get the tires on. I recommend buying the S-tool as it has a special way to leverage the tire onto the rim. Also, letting the tire sit in the sun for 10-15 minutes makes it much easier. Lisa in customer service was very helpful in recommending the right tires for my rims as I was not sure of the measurements. I ordered a pair for my wife's bike since she cycles to work.

Worry free riding!
Flew to Naples, Italy from LA and started riding worry free down to Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi. No patch kit, extra tubes, or pumps. Stress free!

I’m Still Analyzing The tires but…
They look narrow.
They work better on concrete that is flat
and smooth.
A rough asphalt street or Gravel street is not as comfortable. It is important to note th I am 225 pound adult on a small 16 inch wheel. An air tire would be better for comfort but a tire that you don’t have to inflate is better for an old disabled adult.

Tannus with the assist on hubless wheel
I needed an airless tire to accomplish this hubless design. (Air valve would block free movement) Tannus to the rescue!

Tannus Shield
After a hard training session, I was about 12 miles away from home. I had everything together, got ready to leave, and not even a mile where I was training, I got a flat. I had to walk all the way home with my bike. I told myself this would never happen again. I always wondered if it was even possible to have an airless tire bike. I researched puncture-proof tires and came across Tannus. Everybody’s complaining about the resistance. You don’t have to ever worry about having a flat tire. I didn’t lose any speed. Thank you, Tannus.

No Fear
Had to put the tires in the sun and warm them up and installed them in about 15min. I installed the solid rubber tires on my electric scorpion hp26. Ride 35 miles round trip to work and have no fear of flats now. Tires perform just like my old tube tire. Bike still goes 25mph and stops like a normal tire. I will never go back to a tubed tire. No tubes, No airpump, No tire irons and best of all No Fear of flats.

Saving my Wallet
I bike around Albuquerque, NM where sandbur thorns are commonly found on the roads. I bought a pair of the 700x28 Semi-Slicks after going through 3 inner tubes in less than a month. These solid tires have already paid themselves off by the replacement tubes I haven't had to buy. Now the rides are not as comfortable as a traditional air-filled tire and I have to work a little harder peddling on inclines, but I don't really mind that, and from all the sandburs that these tires have already picked up that would have caused me to have a flat, I can't complain. These tires have given me peace of mind and are saving me money in the long-term.

No more flat anxiety
I just purchased a set of airless (solid) 26 X 1 3/8 tires for my E-Bike which had 226 X 1.50" normal tube tires. I had gotten multiple flats due to the roads I mostly ride on. More than once I pushed the flat tire bike home for at least a mile. Time to change. I found Tannus tires and the reviews looked good the price was about double what a normal heavy duty tube tire might cost, but with the 3000 mile life expectancy and no possibility of flats, I knew this was for my bike. I currently carry, a couple tubes in side bags, tire changing tools, and wrenches to take the tires off for flats. Lots of extra weight I now do not need. I heard the solid tires might be difficult to install, but I am pretty handy mechanically, so I just jumped in. I watched the YouTube how to install the solid tires, and went for it. In total, including removing both front and rear tires from the bike, unmounting the old tires, taking off the wheel tape prior to installation, and the actual install of both tires, it took me about 1.5 hours to get both on the bike. It actually was fairly easy with the size tires I got and they slipped on the rim without any issue or forcing. I bought the hand tool which helps you snap in the pins which hold the tire on the rim (20$) and can say it was worth it to buy that too.. There are quite a lot of pins to put into the tire prior to the mount, and that takes about 10 minutes per tire must sticking them into their holes, but the tire slipped on quickly, then another 10 minutes using the hand tool to snap the pins in place, and 10 minutes to remount the whole assembly back onto my bike (each tire). I test road it for a couple quick rides up and down my road, and the 80psi advertised feel to me was more like a 60psi feel. With my e-bike and me, 75# bike and 170# me I come out to about 240 or so total weight. The tires are rated for something like 325# each so I am well within the load range. They ride pretty nicely, and though they will probably quiet out after a hundred miles of break-in, at the moment, they do make a bit more noise in hard turns than the old air tires. No big deal, and I expect the break-in will take care of that. But the ride is fine, and I am super glad I have no more flat anxiety.
