State Bicycle Co. Tire

4.5

Best stylish replacement for urban commuters seeking reliable daily performance.

This is the ideal hybrid tire for riders who refuse to choose between pavement and dirt. The smooth center strip keeps your speed high on asphalt, while the aggressive side scales bite into loose corners. You sacrifice pure off-road traction for this versatility, but it’s a worthy trade for the daily commuter.
