Sunlite Street Tire

This tire is sized 26 x 1-3/8 with an ISO 597 bead seat diameter. It is designed for specific vintage or older road-style 26-inch rims, not standard modern mountain bike rims (which typically use ISO 559). Please check your current tire sidewall for the ISO number before purchasing.

Yes, this is a clincher tire designed specifically for use with a standard inner tube. It is not tubeless-compatible.

No, this tire is optimized for paved surfaces. Its tread pattern features horizontal grooves specifically designed to enhance traction on asphalt and concrete, rather than loose dirt or gravel.

The wire bead is a rigid steel wire inside the edge of the tire that helps it seat securely onto the rim. While it makes the tire more durable and stable, it means the tire cannot be folded and will arrive in its full circular shape.

This model does not feature specialized puncture-resistant casing or liners. It is built for standard recreational use on paved paths and roads.
