Specialized Rhythm Lite Tire

This tire is a true hybrid performer. It is designed for riders who split their time between skate parks, paved city streets, and light dirt trails, offering a balanced tread pattern that handles transitions between these surfaces well.

The tire features a smooth, fast-rolling center section that minimizes drag on pavement, while the deeper shoulder knobs engage when you lean into corners on dirt, providing the extra traction you need for off-road stability.

A 30 TPI (Threads Per Inch) casing is on the thicker, more robust side. This construction prioritizes durability and puncture resistance over weight savings, making it a reliable choice for the rougher impacts common in park and street riding.

This tire is sized at 20 x 2.3 inches, which is a standard size for many BMX and freestyle bikes. Before purchasing, check your frame and fork clearance to ensure a 2.3-inch width will fit comfortably without rubbing.

The wire bead is stiffer than a folding Kevlar bead, which makes the tire slightly heavier and less compact to carry. However, it provides a very secure, consistent fit on the rim, which many riders prefer for durability and ease of seating during installation.
