Sunlite Cruiser CST241 Tire

This tire is designed specifically for cruiser bicycles. Its balloon-style construction and grooved tread are optimized for casual, comfortable riding on pavement and light, packed paths rather than aggressive off-road or high-speed racing.

Yes, this is a tube-type tire. You will need to install it with a compatible inner tube sized for 26-inch wheels.

The balloon design allows for a larger air volume compared to standard tires. This extra air acts as a natural cushion, providing better shock absorption and a smoother feel over bumps and rough pavement.

TPI stands for Threads Per Inch. A 27 TPI casing uses thicker, more robust threads, which makes the tire sidewall stiffer and more resistant to punctures and cuts, prioritizing longevity over weight savings.

It is designed for standard 26-inch cruiser rims. However, because it is a wide 2.125-inch tire, you should ensure your bicycle frame and fork have enough clearance to accommodate the extra width before purchasing.
