  • Tread Name: Brick
  • Tread Style: The brick pattern features small rectangular blocks that are evenly spaced, offering good road grip, water dispersion, and control over various terrains. It is especially effective for urban and light off-road use, ensuring that the rider maintains control on both wet and dry surfaces.

• PSI Rating: 40 PSI

  • The recommended tire pressure for this tire is 40 PSI (pounds per square inch). This PSI level offers a balance between comfort and performance, giving a smooth ride while maintaining durability and reducing rolling resistance. It ensures that the tire can handle the typical loads associated with its use on smaller bikes.

• Bead Type: Wire

  • The tire features a wire bead, which is a steel wire embedded in the edge of the tire to keep it securely attached to the rim. Wire beads are known for their durability and reliability, though they make the tire slightly heavier than folding bead types.

• Style: Standard

  • This tire is a standard design intended for everyday use, making it ideal for recreational rides, commuting, and children's bikes. It provides a comfortable and stable ride on both paved and light off-road surfaces.

Key Features:

• White Side Wall:

  • The tire features a black tread with a white sidewall, giving it a classic, retro look. White sidewalls are often associated with vintage bikes, making this tire a great option for bikes where aesthetics are important, such as retro-styled kids' bikes or cruiser bikes. The contrast between the black tread and white sidewall enhances the tire’s visual appeal while maintaining practicality.

• Durability:

  • Constructed from high-quality rubber, this tire is designed for everyday use and offers long-lasting performance. The wire bead ensures the tire stays firmly in place, even under varying conditions, while the tread is thick enough to resist punctures and wear.

• Grip and Traction:

  • The HF-120A brick tread pattern provides good traction on both wet and dry surfaces. The rectangular blocks of the tread give extra grip, particularly when turning or navigating rough terrain. It also helps with water dispersion, improving performance in wet conditions by reducing the risk of slipping.

• Smooth Ride:

  • The tire's 1.75-inch width offers a balance between cushion and performance. The size ensures a comfortable ride, absorbing small bumps and vibrations from the road while still being narrow enough for efficient rolling on flat surfaces.

• Puncture Resistance:

  • While not explicitly listed as a puncture-resistant tire, the tire's durable construction and solid rubber design help reduce the likelihood of flats caused by small debris on the road, such as glass or sharp stones.

Applications:

• Kids' Bikes:

  • This tire is commonly used on 16-inch kids' bikes, offering a good blend of durability and comfort for younger riders. The stylish white sidewall can also appeal to kids and parents looking for a bike with a retro or cool look.

• Folding Bikes:

  • Many folding bikes use 16-inch tires, and this Original Lowrider model fits the requirements for both urban commuting and casual rides. The brick tread offers good traction, whether on city streets or light trails.

• BMX and Recreational Bikes:

  • BMX bikes or smaller recreational bikes with 16-inch wheels can also benefit from this tire. The brick pattern tread ensures stability during tricks or jumps, and the durable construction can withstand the demands of BMX riding.

• Cruisers and Vintage Bikes:

  • The black/white sidewall style is particularly well-suited for cruiser bikes or vintage bike enthusiasts who want a tire that complements the classic look of their bike.

Benefits:

• Aesthetic Appeal:

  • The white sidewall gives the tire a unique visual appeal, making it a popular choice for riders who want to add a bit of style to their bikes.
