Although it would be tough to lug into the bed of an old truck, it will also very rarely loose traction on account of the weight, and the wide tires. These tires provide extra cushioning, making for a comfortable ride on rough terrain. Additionally, their width allows for better grip on loose surfaces like sand or snow, making the Deer a great option for exploring the great outdoors. They’re not just functional, but they also add to the bike’s overall style, making it stand out on the road or the trail. These tires truly are the cherry on top of an already impressive bike.
