I bought these to replace the Vee Tire Co knobbies (27.5 x 3") on a Jones bike, since I do street riding primarily. Packed well and arrived quickly. Once I got the Vee tires off the rims (very difficult job - broke 2 tire levers), the Kenda tires went on fine using the original tubes. Haven't ridden them yet but I think they will improve my riding experience on the road.
