Schwinn Hybrid/Kevlar Bike Tire 700c x 38mm, Puncture Guard and Combination Tread

Schwinn's 700c x 38 hybrid tire is a durable, puncture-resistant replacement tire built for smoother road rolling and added traction on light trails.

This tire combines a low-resistance center band with deeper outer grooves so you can ride efficiently on pavement while maintaining grip when the surface gets rough. Constructed with a steel bead and a reinforced flat-resistant layer (including Kevlar reinforcement), it balances toughness and ride comfort for comfort and hybrid bicycles using 700c wheels.

Will this tire fit my rim and bike?

This Schwinn tire is sized 700c x 38mm and is engineered to be compatible with rims that accept a 28" diameter tire and internal rim widths from roughly 17mm to 23mm. Confirm your rim internal width and tire clearance on your fork and chainstays before purchase.

• Size: 700c (approx. 28" diameter) x 38mm width
• Recommended rim internal width: 17mm–23mm
• Check frame and brake clearance for a 38mm tire

How does the tread perform on pavement and trails?

The design uses a smooth central strip to minimize rolling resistance on roads while outer shoulder grooves provide bite for wet or loose surfaces. This combination makes it suitable for commuting, mixed-surface rides, and light gravel paths without sacrificing efficient pedaling.

• Center band: reduced rolling resistance for efficient cruising
• Outer grooves: extra traction on corners and loose ground
• All-weather compound for traction in wet conditions

How resistant is the tire to flats and wear?

Under the tread there is a puncture-resistant layer plus Kevlar-reinforced elements that help slow down punctures from glass and thorns compared with unprotected tires. The tire also uses robust steel beads that keep the bead seated and contribute to longevity under normal road and light off-road use.

• Puncture guard layer beneath the tread for extra protection
• Kevlar reinforcement to reduce risk of penetration
• Steel bead construction for durable, secure mounting

What inflation pressure should I use and what riding feel to expect?

Inflate within the recommended 50–75 PSI range to balance comfort and rolling efficiency. Lower pressures near 50 PSI add cushioning and better traction on uneven surfaces; pressures closer to 75 PSI reduce rolling resistance for smoother pavement rides.

• Recommended PSI: 50–75 (adjust to load and comfort)
• Lower PSI: increased comfort and grip on rougher surfaces
• Higher PSI: firmer feeling and improved efficiency on smooth roads

Who is this for? Riders who use comfort or hybrid bicycles and want a dependable, all-weather replacement tire that performs well on pavement but won’t give up traction on light trails. It suits commuters, casual weekend cyclists, and anyone looking to upgrade from a slick road-only tire to a more versatile tread with enhanced flat protection.
