Great!!!

I have a 700c trek podium 9.9 nissan and radio shack eddition, and this tire was ok. I ride between 25-50 miles a day. I usually use bontager triathalon tires, but those were getting very very expensive and cost around 75.00 a tire or more, and only last 1-2 weeks. I needed a tire I could ride for leasure, not race, so i tried these. they lasted for about 550 miles before they were worn to kevlar. I would recomend these to anywon who needs a cheap tire for training, or leasure. They are alot heavier. These are good if you have coverd rims, because they grip. over all excellent

Review 2 for Bell 700c Kevlar Tire

Tire is flattened and rolled up for packaging, which makes it more difficult to mount on rim because it does not hold a shape to facilitate mounting. Tire is labeled as a 700cc or 27 inch tire, so doesn't correctly fit either one. Tire is 35cc but is advertised as fitting a 35cc to 45cc rim, so it really is too narrow for a 45cc bike rim. This tire tries to be too much so ends up being poor at everything. I would not buy this tire again.

I purchased two Bell 700c bicycle tires for my Cannondale bicycle. The tires were thin and so flimsy that they were literally rolled into a ball. After taking them out of the package they proved to be a totally inadequate product.
The tire did not stay round, it did not fit well into my wheel, it gave virtually no traction and it moved around on the wheel, even with a lot of air in the tube. I returned the tires and received a refund.
Take my advise, pay $5 more and go to a bicycle store and get a proper tire that can not be rolled into a small ball.
Walmart should discontinue selling such an inferior product and sell tires that cannot be rolled up!

Well that's called a "folding tire".
Posted 09/26/2012
I know they might seem like an inferior product at first, but folding tires are more expensive than a similar non-folding tire. That's because they lose some weight compared to the rigid ones. Folders use kevlar fiber instead of steel wire around the sides. Also many people consider it a feature to have a folding tire in case you carry a spare, or don't like riding back from the store with a big tire over your shoulder. I haven't used a set of these (yet) so I can't comment on whether they might have an issue fitting on 700c rims, but I have used a different Bell 700c tire that was a little thinner and it fit just fine. Is it possible that the tubes you were using were too small? If you go down more than a couple sizes (say using a 700x20 tube instead of 700x35) that can cause some problems like you describe. Due to their low price point, it's also possible that you got a faulty product with a larger bead than it's supposed to have.

Review 6 for Bell 700c Kevlar Tire
pretty deccent tire

Even though the box specifically says "not for mountain bike use" this tire fit perfectly on my Mongoose Deception. Much less rolling resistance than the knobby tires that came on my bike. Made riding my bike much more enjoyable since it doesn't feel like I'm dragging an anchor behind anymore, I still can't believe how much resistance the stock tires have. These seem to grip considerably better than the knobby tires under braking and turning on pavement, not sure how long they will last since the rubber seems pretty soft, they seem to pick up sand and tiny pieces of gravel I didn't even realize were on the road. As with any folding tire it was kind of a pain to install since it wants to stay folded and does not resemble an actual tire until you get it mounted.

Fit and Use are different.
Posted 09/27/2012
This tire will fit on any rim designed for 700c tire or 29'er (mtb). Even though it will fit on any rim this size, it will not fit on a racing bike because there's not enough frame clearance for tires this large. It will fit on any 29'er (mountain bike with really big wheels) but you shouldn't be using the bike to do serious mountain biking any more, cause you lost the traction and tire width you had with the bigger knobby ones. Good tire for street, packed dirt and gravel path use, bad tire for single track, regardless of what type of bike you have.

Mixed feelings

I bought a pair of these for my bike. I guess they get good grip I only spilled it once around a corner and I think there was some sand there or gravel or something.
Where I have the mixed feelings is about the tread wear. My front tire looked almost brand new after maybe 500 miles, however both my rims were bent so my rear tire would lock up very briefly sometimes. I didn't think anything of it until I looked at the tire one day and I had worn down clear through the tire to the kevlar layer in one spot. The rest of the rear tire looked great, just as good as the front. I never did get a flat
So I have mixed feelings about wither these tires have good grip and good wear life or not.

ya gotta fix those rims!
Posted 09/27/2012
I'll bet that these tires are bigger than your old ones, so they grab your frame a little more. Either that or your rims are slowly bending more and more as you ride on them in that out-of-round condition. A bent rim will never correct itself, but just get worse over time. Any tire subject to this treatment will wear through in that one spot where it skids when the frame stops it from moving for just a second but the bike keeps going forward. Try to name just one tire that if you skid in the same place over and over it won't wear through eventually! One made of steel, maybe? My best advice would be to get a spoke wrench (very cheap tool) and read up/watch some videos on how to use it the right way. It'll make your tires spin freely and won't mess em up any more. The fact that the rest of the rear tire looks new after 500 miles is a good sign that they are long-lasting tires and your bent rims are to blame for the worn spot. Tip: If one little spot one your tire is worn through or gouged out, use Shoe Goo to cover it. It works just as good as it does on your shoes.
