CST Patrol

Yes, the CST Patrol is designed for versatility. The ramped center knobs help minimize rolling resistance on harder surfaces like pavement or hardpack, while the aggressive side knobs provide the necessary bite for loose trail conditions.

A wire bead means the tire has a rigid steel wire at the base, making it heavier and less flexible than folding tires. While this makes it slightly more challenging to pack or transport, it is very durable and seats securely on the rim.

Yes, this is a standard tire designed to be used with an inner tube. It is not tubeless-ready.

Using a single compound throughout the tire ensures consistent wear and predictable handling. While it may not offer the specialized grip of dual-compound tires, it provides a reliable, long-lasting performance that is ideal for general trail riding.

This tire is sized for 20-inch wheels with a 3.0-inch width. Before purchasing, ensure your bike frame and fork have sufficient clearance to accommodate a 3-inch wide tire, as it is significantly wider than standard 20-inch tires.
