## Description

The WTB ThickSlick Bike Tire is your ultimate urban riding companion, built to conquer the toughest streets with style and durability. Featuring a slick tread design and twice the rubber, ThickSlick provides optimal traction on smooth and rough concrete, absorbing the bumps of urban asphalt for a smoother ride. Its no-nonsense design means there are no unnecessary knobs to slow you down, allowing for fast riding in the heart of the city. Durability is key in urban environments, and the ThickSlick’s thick rubber casing provides puncture protection against glass, pins, staples, and other hazards. This tire’s burly casing is designed to withstand the harshest conditions, giving you peace of mind knowing you can get around without worrying about flats. For riders looking to take it further, the Flat Guard option adds an extra layer of protection with additional rubber through the casing and sidewall, ensuring your tire holds up even during cornering and the occasional curb rub. Twice the rubber doesn’t just mean better protection; it also means twice the lifespan of your tire. For riders navigating the challenges of the concrete jungle, the WTB ThickSlick Bike Tire offers the ultimate balance of traction, protection, and smooth ride quality.

Review: Great tire for the price - I bought this tire and it works really well. It feels durable and provides a smooth ride, especially for city use. Installation was easy too. For the price, it’s a great option.
Review: Fantastic urban tires! - After much research and reading as much as I can about these tires, I decided to give the ThickSlicks a try on my 27.5" MTB, and it was a total Win~! 99% of my riding takes place on smooth bikeways, such as the 50-mile-long Santa Ana River Trail (SART), and the ThickSlicks are perfectly designed for such surfaces. The tires are heavier than my previous Continental X-King MTB tires that came with my wheelset, but once you get the ThickSlicks rolling, they glide effortlessly and quietly. I took the tires on some hardpack dirt trails and they performed fine. I did have to be more careful, though, when cornering and when going through deeper sand spots. The tires were easy to mount onto my 25mm inner width wheels and they didn't give me any trouble. I recently did a 41-mile ride from a city to the beaches then back, and the ThickSlicks increased my average speed and reduced leg fatigue compared to riding on the knobby MTB tires. I would definitely keep on buying the ThickSlicks. 5 Star Win~! 😍
