WTB ThickSlick Comp Cycling Tire

The WTB ThickSlick Comp tire - Urban ride specific.

It's all in the name, ThickSlick. A burly casing designed to withstand the roughest urban conditions paired with a slick tread design that provides the bite you need in the concrete jungle with impeccable style. There's no substitute for performance benefits that the iconic ThickSlick writing represents on the sidewall of your tires.

Features:

• Slicker than Slick: No-nonsense, slick design provides optimal traction on smooth concrete and rough streets. Smooth rubber allows the tread surface to conform to the roughness of urban asphalt without the presence of unnecessary knobs to slow you down
• Unbeatable Dependability: Thick rubber casing provides puncture protection from glass, pins, staples and any other urban unpleasantries you may find yourself pedaling through. ThickSlick gives you peace-of-mind knowing that you'll get from A to B without flatting out along the way
• Double the Rubber: ThickSlick tires feature twice the rubber makes for a smoother ride through the natural absorption qualities of the material. Thicker rubber also results in a more supportive tire for wheelies or fixie skids
• Money Saving Rubber: Twice the rubber tread also equates to twice the lifespan of an average tire. Increased tire longevity translates to more cash in your pocket. Twice the lifespan essentially means they're 50% off the price of the competition's tires
• Comp Casing: Combines the lightweight efficiency of a single-ply casing with the dependability of a wire bead. Wire bead tires are designed to be used with a tube and therefore are not tubeless compatible

DNA Compound:

DNA uses a single layer of rubber across the whole tread to provide consistent traction and maximize durability. It offers the ideal mix of rolling efficiency and traction on a wide range of riding conditions. Whether it's bright and sunny or pouring rain, this is the rubber that will provide traction and confidence to get you there fast. DNA Compound is renowned for being versatile and long-lasting.

Flatguard Option:

Flat Guard provides additional rubber throughout the entire casing and sidewall to deliver additional puncture protection while also ensuring it holds up to cornering on asphalt and even the occasional curb rub. Precisely, they utilize an extra layer of rubber beneath the whole width of the tread to provide even more thickness in the region where the tires are most likely to encounter sharp, intrusive objects.
