What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the title says tubeless ready, the tyre-type field says Tubeless, and the width is given as 6.35 Centimetres alongside a 29 x 2.50 inches size. The listing does not confirm a precise compatibility or fitment interpretation, so check the selected tyre's sidewall and your rim requirements before purchase. The material field is listed as “Andere”, which is not a specific material description.
