Panaracer HP406 20x1.75 Skinwall Tire

Quality Japanese Tire from a Quality Brand

The gum wall sidewalls are quite attractive, and add a classic look.  The colored tread had me worried that it might not have the same adhesion as a black tread, but it feels identical.  The 85 psi rating gives the tires extremely low resistance, and the tread pattern is adequate for wet roads, without compromising rolling resistance. All in all, an excellent tire. The excess mold flash was a minor inconvenience, requiring an hour of snipping with a nail clipper to remove it all. It was ugly, and in theory the flash would add to air resistance and rolling resistance (not measurable, of course - I'm just a perfectionist.)

Old school BMX

I’ve been buying the Panaracer HP406’s for some time now on all my old school BMX builds. Honestly there isn’t another tire I’d use. Great tire with lots of colors at a great price. Hard to beat.
