Got SHOX G2 tires for 24" rims and have found them to be hard to fit (need tool) but once on are great. Good grip on paths and brakes, a bit rough on hands initially but they smooth off after a while. After about 8 months, hardly worn but still roll well - no puncture problems.

I have had tube tires for the last five years .flat after flat . best tubes bought. these are the best tire I have ever bought and will buy from now on .they are a little hard to get on but all you need is a pack of zip ties and a tire lever .and they roll as good as the 145 right runs I bought .with no more flats. these tires need a 5 star rating thank jimbo

Excellent tires! I have only been using them for a few weeks at the writing of this review. I have had no issues with them and they roll about the same as my pneumatic tires. Mounting the tires to the rim is probably a problem for some people but I used the zip tie method with tire mounting spoons and they went right on.
Advantages: No more flats from popped tubes and no more inflating every few weeks.
Disadvantages: Traction on ice and snow is worse with solid tires but the convenience is worth it in my opinion.

I'm a new convert to airless. I've used Brand S's best tire for years and got worry of inconsistent pressure and flats. Shox G2's are a welcome change.
Advantages: Consistent pressure/firmness, aggressive tread.
Disadvantages: Really tough to mount, a few tricks on You Tube, if I had to mount a bunch, I'd invent a special tool for the job. Best advice is to have the assistance of a patient buddy and keep working at it.

Great tire for everyday use. I've used them for 2 years now.
Advantages: Does not leave black marks on flooring or on hands. Reasonable price.
