Technologies

1.3 mm rubber protection: Reinforced city tires use a durable nylon construction and a 1.3 mm-thick rubber layer between the tread and casing to provide greater puncture protection. Rigid beads are a time-tested solution that allows the tire to be used easily with inner tubes.

Nylon casing: Nylon is a strong, durable synthetic fiber traditionally used to make robust tire casings. Nylon threads are thicker than cotton threads, so there are fewer of them per inch. Nylon casings are strong and durable, which extends their service life. However, as a synthetic fiber, nylon is not as elastic (soft and flexible) as cotton.
