What’s your prefered (new) S7 tire?

Glitch in the Matrix

can I remove these ?

I have bought them all.
The 26x2x1 3/4 CST is the best looking one by far. White or blackwall.
(My opinion anyway.)

Great thread, @Dizzle Problems! Wild how few options there are for 26” S7 tires these days. Best I recall from my 64 Ray last fall, the 20” options are even fewer...

@rrtbike just so I’m tracking right, are these the tires you’re referring to? I thought the brand was Kenda, not CST? Thanks!!

Yes those are the best ones in my opinion. They definitely look the biggest in person too. Kenda has a different tread pattern.

The repop Westwinds from Bicycle Bones look just right on my Jaguar. Everything else looked too small.

Well, per this thread I went ahead and ordered some CST whitewalls for my American. I wanted to improve the ride quality over the lumpy old Westwinds that were on there.

I installed them this morning and wow, they are much larger than the tires that were on there. They fill out the fenders to the point that I had to adjust my rear axle much more forward in the dropouts. If you had bent fenders or a rim out of true you’d have clearence issues.

Looks great!
That is the point of buying the bigger tire.
Or did you not realize it would be bigger?
(That's what the extra 2 is for in the size.)

Looks awesome!! Beautiful KS. I'm glad to hear they fill out the fenders so well. Can't wait for mine to get here!
