What is the difference between wire beaded and Kevlar belted ?650 tires

Wire beaded refers to the edges of the tire where the air seal occurs. Most tires are constructed with steel cable (wire), some use Kevlar cord instead. Kevlar belted tires have a Kevlar belt running inside and along the tread area to reduce the risk of puncture.

I'm going to bypass all the technical stuff. If you look at the Performance Bike website, they sell wire bead and Kevlar foldable Gatorskin tires. They sell more wire beaded than Kevlar and both have approvals over 90%. I conclude that there's no performance difference. The only significant difference is that one can be folded and kept in a small bag while the other retains its circular shape. The ONLY reason I bought wire bead is that I find them easier to mount. Others seem to find foldables easier to mount. That has not been my experience. I think you'll be happy with either.

Kevlar tires are foldable and easier to install. They are also much more resistant to flats. Spend the extra money, you won't be disappointed.

Don't know. Google may have an answer for you. I use mainly 27" tires, FYI... Old school stuff.

I use the 25mm for a more supple ride and according to the latest research a wider tire (within limits) has less rolling resistance. The weight isn't as much a factor for me and I run Mr. Tuffy ultra-light tire liners in these for added protection because flats just ruin a good ride.

My wire stripper handles it nicely at either the 18 or 20 gauge setting, but the wire is definitely heavier than the stuff that came with my dog fence. Also, the insulation is heavier and tougher.

I agree with Jon C's answer. A bicycle tire holds only a fraction of the air compared to a motorcycle tire.

If you are asking what the numbers mean, 265 is width in mm, 70 is ratio of width to sidewall heigth and 18" is inside diameter of tire. This would take a Z-583 cable set which is what the type that I use and are very easy to install

Hello.The listing information supplied by Amazon is incorrect. In this instance, the 'C' is referring to the Load Range. Load Range 'C' is a 6-ply rated tire that is capable of carrying heavier loads (2535lbs per tire @ 50psi). The actual speed rating is 'Q' which is 100MPH.Sorry for the confusion.BWT

A bit off topic, but you can get solid rubber wheelbarrow tires. The stock tires on your typical new wheelbarrow these days are pretty pathetic.

The thread is most likely different because this a gum wall 27 inch tire and not a regular 700c. You can ride these at lower pressure but that's not always advantageous. they have less rolling resistance and better handling but are way thinner. You will get flats. I havs gotten flats from staples and thorns. These have a great look for a restoration project for city touring. If you want to be indestructible. Go for some Gatorskins. They don't look as good but flats are far more rare. I believe there are also Panaracers with Kevlar.

They're 2x to 3x heavier and provide a fair amount of resistance, especially on the mid to low end of the ideal tire inflation range. I switched 100% to non-slimed tubes and instead use wide Tuffies and a reinforced tire. Plus, the tubes are a third cheaper!

Bought from a "Used/Like New" seller and, while the tread looks the same, and they included a Schwinn box, the tire was an Innova without kevlar. So I'd avoid the Used offers.

Well Anthony, Your question regarding an E rating has me stumped! I looked up the UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grade) for traction and temperature resistance, and they're both A. Not sure what you mean by an E rating... is that some sort of "Eco" designation?

They must have two styles, or used text from other model. My Rubino Pro III was kevlar bead and foldable, but once in place was as durable as wire bead. It wasn't difficult to install, even initially, like some are. I will buy these again.

Absolutely brother... They're awesome... Kevlar belted...nice fat track... A super smooth riding tire..I used the Slime tubes with them... Couldn't be happier with my decision...

They are marked as 700c-25 on the tire and box.(approximately 25 mm wide when mounted)

The one I purchased was foldable. I am not sure if they make a wire bead in that tire. When you look at the listing it should specify either wire bead or folding.

I believe the max tire pressure is 110PSI. We use stock images and the tire is physically at Amazon so taking more pictures of the tire would be impossible at this point. The title says Kevlar, so yes, it uses Kevlar.

I don't know about the wire bead...mine says kevlar. Yes, it comes flat & folded which makes it difficult to keep inside the wheel rim while you try to keep the tube in place as you mount and fill it. I've purchased folded tires before and they weren't quite this difficult to work with - next time I might take a harder look at unfolded, pre-shaped tires. But it does perform like a great tire once mounted.
