Patrol Tire

Yes, the Patrol is designed as a versatile all-rounder. Its ramped center knobs roll efficiently on pavement for commuting, while the aggressive side knobs provide the necessary bite for cornering on loose dirt or gravel trails.

The wire bead version uses a rigid steel wire to hold the tire shape, making it heavier but more affordable. The folding bead version uses a flexible aramid fiber, which is lighter, easier to transport, and often includes the EPS puncture protection layer.

Puncture protection depends on the version you choose. The folding bead model includes an EPS (Exceptional Puncture Safety) layer to help prevent flats, while the standard wire bead version does not feature this additional reinforcement.

No, this specific model is not tubeless-ready. You will need to use a standard inner tube with this tire.

This tire is designed for 29-inch wheels. You should check your bike frame's clearance to ensure a 2.25-inch width fits comfortably, especially if you have a tight rear triangle or fenders installed.
