CSTCiudad RS Kevlar Tire, 700 x 32

I had the older model similar to these on my townie for 7 years. They still had life left in them. I don’t have a vehicle so i put at the very least 3000 + miles on them. Just put these on and the look and handle great!!!! I also love the reflective sidewalls!! Update….. these were defective. The seller approved the return.

The good: The tires are of good quality for the price. They came delivered in a large flat box, no folding or kinks in the tires. Tires mounted easily, are true, no flaws. Low rolling resistance. They look nice on the bike.Other: These tires no not have a direction arrow on them, must be omnidirectional.The bad: It took 22 days from order to delivery to get these tires. I chose the "free shipping" option. With that, the tires are first shipped via UPS to your local post office, then delivered by the US Postal Service. I never received them and even the company that shipped them couldn't account for the lost tires. The tracking number for the USPS did not register in their system. They did reship at no additional cost, this time using UPS Ground, and I received them 8 days after reorder.Bottom line: Good tires for the money but choose the upgraded shipping if you are in a hurry to get them.

I'm not a bike expert. I'm just a guy who commutes to work (3 miles). These tires work alright for the price. They really don't grip metal road covers, but I have gone over glass a couple times and came out alright.. or just lucky.UPDATE: Well these are finally worn out. The side walls look like they are about to burst. 3 miles a day, 5 days a week for 2 years comes out to roughly 1,600 miles on em.

I've run these tires for over a year now with absolutely no issues. Kevlar belting + a reflective sidewall stripe at this price is a rarity and unheard of with the quality of these tires.CST is what I'd consider to be the mid level product line from Cheng Shin Tires. Comparatively speaking CST is the Buick to Maxxis's Cadillac and the eponymous line's Chevrolet. Each may share the same basic components but each level has features and refinements that add value.Update: 4/14/2014 these are certainly my go to tire in this size. I've run them as long as any I've had with zero issues.

I purchased the same tire last fall for my bike. Why? Because I had no problem with the first one and continue to be pleased with it. It was easy to install and have ridden the previous one about 1,000 miles already. I hope to get the same service from the new one. Tire only inflates to about 80 pounds. That's not a limitation for the biking that I do.

This is more of a "heads up" review.Okay the tires never made it all the way onto my bike. I am sure they are good tires.I was replacing a set of Specialized K4 tires marked 700/32c. These are marked the same but are over 3/8 wider so they wouldn't fit my Cannondale 3.0 Criterium. Too wide and too tall. So they wont fit between the chain stays. I will keep them for replacement for my wife's Trek. But is you are looking for a racing bike tire they might not fit.

They look like great tires. My only problem is that I can not get them on my rim for the life of me. I think I'm going to have to take it to a bike shop to find someone who can mount this tire! Still I'll give 5 stars because I hate when people downvote for silly things like mounting ineptitude. Plus, it might just be that my rim is a bad fit! :P

I've been researching tires for my bike for about a month now. Anything with kevlar, and wire bead will run you about $40-50. I was pleasantly surprised to find this tire for under $20. I've only taken my bike out a few times with these tires, and so far so good. Yes, there are fancier tires out there than these (harder compound material), but from a value perspective, these tires are awesome!!
