When considering purchasing them, you talk about the comfort of mind the tires give you, bla, bla, bla, (my mind drifted off at that time), I just hated changing flats. But having had several 2 am commutes to work & back, I must admit that the peace of mind is REALLY A BIG DEAL! They feel just like pneumatic tires, and now I'm not looking for every nail or screw or piece of glass on the road, stopping to pick it up so I won't get a flat from those things on another day. Riding on your solid tires, I get to keep riding joyfully w/o a care in the world of my tires going flat!

REI OKC installed Tannus Airless tires( thanks Keaton!) after 150 mi the ride smooth as any reg. tires. The 400x32 size lasts 3000 mi ! Imagine how many flats you would get on air tires….& how much it cost plus time lost! Well worth the cost of Airless install & the security of knowing the tires will always get u home! Great for women for security & peace of mind.

I got these for my bike would ride to school and now work. They lasted over 2000 miles. I put them on before 500 miles I believe and I'm over 2500 miles on my bike now. I crashed turning too fast and the pegs ripped out the foam but I got so much use out of it. I 100% recommend these if you are regularly biking. It's especially helpful when commuting like me. You don't have to worry about being late and stranded with a flat (happened to me twice)

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.

To save money after I retired I decided to get rid of the car do all my local errands on my e-bike pulling a trailer, the only problem was I could never make it more than a quarter mile without a flat rear tire. If you've ever had to change a tire with a hub motor you know how much of a pain this can be. And a had a flat every single time I tried to ride my bike, a dozen flats in six months and not a single successful trip. I was fed up! Tannus Shield 700x40 saved my sanity, my bike, and my retirement! Installing it was some work, but once on all my worries about flats disappeared! I finally for the first time was able to ride flat free, to the grocery store, to the hardware store, anywhere I wanted. That was seven years ago, and countless trips to the store, and have only needed to replace the tire once. Honestly, I can't tell you how much these tires have saved me, in time, in cost, and in anxiety. Thanks Tannus!
