I purchased these tires for my Schwinn Collegiate. I am happy with the price and the quality of the tires. The Tires fit onto my Schwinn S-6 rims very well. These tires can also fit onto Schwinn S-5 rims as well. I did have to spend an extra couple of minutes to move the tires around on each of the rims with the tubes empty to get the tires seated correctly and get a smooth ride out of them. For 10 bucks each, these tires are great. I am glad Kenda still makes tires for my old Schwinn's.

This tire was the perfect fit to replace my original 1974 Schwinn Collegiate tire. I am so grateful to find this tire in the S-6 size without having to pay the steep price for a Schwinn tire. I was able to mount the tire by hand with no tools. Thank you Kenda and Amazon !

Honest reviews on Kenda S-6 Black Steel Tire, 26x1.375-Inch

Kenda makes the only tire that will fit my Schwinn 3-speed. Fortunately the tire quality appears relatively decent and has a vintage look to the tread pattern. Like the previous reviewer, I found setting the bead onto the rim difficult. My suggestion is to use window cleaner (such as Windex) to lubricate the tire and rim and over-inflate to around 80-90 psi. I found myself deflating the tire a couple of times to ~10 psi to manually move the sections of the tire that didn't want to bead properly. Then add some more window cleaner and inflate to around 80-90 psi. Don't forget to reduce the pressure to 60 psi!

I bought these to replace tires on an old Schwinn Tandem. I wasn't thrilled with how thin they are, but so far they are working well. There are not a lot of choices for older bike tires and the price is reasonable.
