You spoke and we listened. For the last two years, we at Air Free have been soliciting feedback from our current and potential customers to exactly what they wanted in a tire. People told us that although many of them were happy with the tires in our Legacy collection, they wanted more yet less. You wanted more performance, less weight. You wanted more selection and less cost. You wanted more safety and less difficulty in installation. We listened and the Open road is now finally a reality.

The Open Road is a simple street tire design for those who have been using a 1.25 - 1.5 type of tire and usually keep the tire juiced up to 80psi and above. This new tire fits the popular diameters of wheels in the market and is configured to fit the higher end rims whose interior widths tend to be on the thin side. Made with little mechanical lock devices the Open Road will stay on the rim like it was glued. The lower profile means lighter weight and lower rolling resistance. A unique cross hatch tread pattern gives the tire a distinctive look and our proprietary High Resilient elastomer ensures the performance you would expect.

All of the Open Road tires are available in two to five different bead widths. This means that just about every rim in each of the diameters will be able to use an Open Road tire. Of course you need to know the width of your rim so you can choose the correct tire.

Testing has occurred on a number of our High Resilient elastomer tires and when possible we will list the results on the website. The elastomer material has proven to be safe, durable and fast and has such remarkable low rolling resistance we felt compelled to make a new line of tires our it.  As an added bonus we have reworked our installation tool so that it will be less expensive and although these tires are sized 7% smaller than the rim they are meant to fit, installation ease has been greatly enahanced.

The Air Free Open Road line of tires is a win-win situation for everyone as you get the tires you want and we get more sales and happy customers. We at Air Free are glad we listened.
