Schwalbe Spicer Wire Bead Tyre - 700 x 38c

I have Trek Marlin 7 2018 Model MTB 29er that comes with a 2.20" tyre for off road. I purchase the bike for daily commute, hence, the factory tyre is too grippy on the road. I've purchased these two tyres to replace them along with CST inner tubes.

Fitment: Because my 29er uses the same diameter wheel as 700c road bike, the tyre fits straight on without any problem (size-wise). However, I do notice that it is a little bit difficult to make the wire-bead bite into the rim slot near the valve area after fits in the tube. I have to keep pressing the tyre down into the rim while inflating the tube. Once the tube inflated, the tyre fits fine.

Riding: The tyre pressure recommended is between 4 - 6 bar, I made it right in the middle range and found that the tyre is pretty hard already. Tried couple of days commuting, it rolls incredibly smooth without much effort compared to my old factory tyres. They are very good on the road, the only concern would be the resistance to punch is only Level 3. Hopefully, it lasts long.

Conclusion: If you are looking for a good-value-for-money slick tyre for your 29er MTB, this tyre is a really good choice. I love them. Besides, the reflective ring around the tyre is awesome, makes you more visible on the road.

The tyres seem good so far. No issues after a few weeks of commuting. Only issue was the plastic wrap packaging that the two tyres were delivered in was reasonably difficult to open.
