Road Bike Flex Bead Tire Protect+

one of the best puncture resistance tire

Good folding tire that promises durability. May be slightly heavier than other tires but comfortable to use. Very good for general riding conditions but was able to use it in a race. What's best is that It's offered at an affordable price.

The product is good, smooth riding , no more Punctures

Nice item, very affordable and quality.

Brought the tyre 4 months ago and the sidewalls are cracked, both sides. Great tyre for a easy fix but it's worth investing in a good tyre as I'm now needing to buy another.

I bought a pair of these in March 2018. Initial impressions were that they are a great tyre. I had to exchange one of the tyres in May 2018 as it had a split across an internal seam right across the contact surface. It looks like I will now have to return the other one too (2 year warranty right?) as it has developed cracks right on the edge of the contact area/sidewall. I went into the Milton Keynes store this afternoon to discuss this. The chap I spoke to explained the cracks were probably due to the tyre's hard compound. I think he didn't realise there is a 2 year warranty on these as he suggested I wouldn't be able to get a refund. (Am going with Conti Gatorskins now.) Finally, I think I may have had a bad 'batch' as the replacement tyre i got in May 2018 is still OK. Both have worn very little and roll nicely so it's a shame there have been apparent manufacturing/material problems.

Seem ok. Descent rolling resistance and seem durable for the terrible Sheffield cycle lanes

I returned my Resist 9 tyre to the Wandsworth store after the sidewall ripped after approx. 11 months use. Roberto (Senior Mechanic at Wandsworth Decathlon) informed me “the changes in humidity in London” affect the materials in this tyre to the extent that its effective lifespan is on average 4 months. He pointed out my tyre was cracked along the sidewall which he stated was evidence of wear and tear due to atmospheric conditions. The description of the Resist 9 on Decathlon’s website states the product is extensively tested for “resistance to wear” and “longevity”. I have been cycling for quite a few years and have never experienced a tyre wear out in this way at this rate. (I use my bike to commute on 3 – 4 days per week. The tyres are always inflated to the appropriate pressure and the bike is stored indoors at home.) The Resist 9 is supposed to come with a 2-year guarantee. The refusal to honour that guarantee by a Senior Mechanic at Decathlon as he wouldn’t expect the tyre to last more than 4 months (presumably in most of NW Europe), in my view, completely undermines the comments made in the “Our Commitments” section of the web page. Notwithstanding the puncture resistance on the tyre which was quite good, based on my (and Roberto’s) experience I would not purchase this poor-quality product.

Had replaced older tyres on bike and bought a spare after first blow out ( side wall) I made mistake and bought same tyre again. Lose another to a side wall blowout (side wall again). Third tyre just went and that was most recent one and was another blowout but was at the tread of main bead ( when going to fix I noticed it was coming away at mor than one place. Poor quality but I must say never had proper puncture.

economical pricing

Got these to put on my commuter bike, previously had continental and schwable. These are cheap and have good levels of grip, not fast rolling but not slow either, not much feedback but for a 5 mile commute not a bad tyre. I was sold on the puncher protection aspect and so far no flats which is a plus. But my main issue is the sidewalls on both tyres are badly cracked and splitting after about 6 months use. It's only a matter of time before the sidewalls fail so will require changing soon even though the actual tread hasn't worn much. Think I will return to a premium brand.

Compared with other brand names, this is a very good priced puncture-resistant tyre. However, from the start, I noticed that it felt a little lumpy when I used it on the rear wheel. Not a major problem, but I was disappointed when it exploded with a very loud bang last week due to internal de-lamination. It was 19 months old and had done 1700 miles. This is much less than I have come to expect from a tyre.
