Sunlite Nimbus Tire
Best versatile replacement for daily commuters and recreational path riders.
This is the ultimate workhorse for riders who refuse to choose between smooth pavement and gravel paths. It sacrifices the raw speed of a dedicated road tire for a rugged, water-channeling tread that keeps you upright and confident regardless of the weather or the terrain.
