We got this item in pretty quickly and it was packaged well. The tire has a lot of weight to it believe it or not I'm surprised it does say in the instructions that they do not recommend folding the tire back up once you unfold it so keep that in mind. I recommend keeping this in its folded state and packed away in your car or in a little sack maybe fasten to your bike in case of an emergency. It's not something that I would use as a full-time Tire but it's something I would use if I were to get a flat it needed to get my bike home it would be easy to unzip a pouch pull it out and have everything I need in that pouch then put it on and get my rump home real Tire. It seems like a good quality tire at first and it is for what it is but I don't know that I would trust it as a full-time everyday Rider but you make the call. All the instructions are very clear and legible all the warnings are legible and understandable. It comes with everything that you need including the tube which is nice you can never have too many of those the tube seems like it's of a thick sturdy Rubber and would take a patch very well. I hope this helps you make your mind up not only as to why you would buy it but as to whether you will buy it.
