Schwalbe Big Apple Tire

4.6

Best high volume tire for urban commuters seeking maximum ride comfort.

These tires turn harsh city streets into a smooth glide by using high-volume air pressure as natural suspension. You sacrifice a bit of speed compared to skinny racing rubber, but the trade-off is a plush, puncture-resistant ride that makes potholes and rough pavement feel entirely optional.
