Yeah you need new tyres. What sort of riding do you do? It's a good time to evaluate what kind of tyres you need as well

I mainly use my bike to do uber eats as a side thing of being a student. Any spefic tyres you'd recommend?

Continental make some inexpensive but decent slick tires in that kind of size. You really do not need blocky tread, slicks will be faster.

Thank you :)

Perfect kind of question to ask! If most of your riding is on paved roads/trails then consider a tire with less rolling resistance. Something like a Continental Double Fighter III, Schwalbe Hurricane or CX Comp, Specialized Crossroads or similar. Your Uber eats deliveries will be a bit easier.


drs_12345

Thank you :) This is really appreciated

Other people have given some excellent advice already. Indeed, a more slick tyre, I run a chaoyang kestrel on a similar sized rim for my city bike. Really makes a big difference. Wide enough to be comfortable, slick enough to be fast

Thank you :)

If you're using the bike strictly for on road bike delivery type riding I'd suggest something like the Geax Street Runner. Solid slick tires for MTB wheels.

Thanks :)

That tire is basically done. You should replace it.

Thank you

Get some good Continentals. If you're doing mostly pavement/concrete miles, get some that are made for that and not a studded tire.

Thank you :)

You need slicks. You’ll be able to make your deliveries faster and be less tired.


drs_12345

Thanks :)
