Surly Knard Tire

The Knard is designed primarily for hardpack dirt and groomed trails. Its tightly-spaced, low-profile tread pattern minimizes rolling resistance, making it a fast option for surfaces where you don't need aggressive, deep knobs for mud or loose rock.

Yes, the Surly Knard is tubeless ready. You can run it without inner tubes if you use compatible rims, sealant, and tubeless-specific rim tape, which helps reduce weight and allows for lower tire pressures.

The 60 TPI (threads per inch) casing strikes a balance between durability and suppleness. It is robust enough to handle trail debris and sidewall impacts while remaining flexible enough to conform to the ground for better traction.

This is a 29 x 3.0-inch tire, which is considered a 'plus' size. Before purchasing, ensure your bike frame and fork have the necessary clearance for a 76mm wide tire and that your rims are wide enough to support the tire profile properly.

The maximum pressure for the Surly Knard is 35 psi. However, because this is a high-volume tire, most riders will find optimal performance and comfort at significantly lower pressures, depending on rider weight and trail conditions.
