Q: What are SweetskinZ tires and what makes them unique?
A: SweetskinZ has developed a process to apply full color graphic images and reflective attributes to its tires. We manufacture and sell these tires with varied designs, sizes and treads.  The reflective features are also created to compliment the day look, providing a night look as well.

Q: Does the color wear off?
A: The color wears off where the rubber meets the road. The color of the underlying layer of rubber has been chosen to compliment the original tire design.  Other reflective and design properties will remain unchanged on the sidewalls and in between the treads.

Q: How do the tires reflect?
A: Light that is directed towards the tire will reflect back to its original source.  The reflectivity is similar to what you will experience from stop signs as well as other road signs.

Q: Do the tires glow at night?
A: They do not glow. They reflect light.

Q: Can I take the reflectors off my bike if I have your tires?
A: No. SweetskinZ tires add to the overall reflective properties of your bike. They are not intended to replace any reflectors.

Q: Do your tires weigh more than black tires?
A: Our tires weigh approximately the same as other quality tires of similar specification.

Q: What sizes do SweetskinZ tires come in?
A: SweetskinZ tires come in 12", 16", 20", 24", 26" and 700C. Several sizes are available in several widths.

Q: What are your bestsellers?
A: All 4 of the original designs continue to sell very well.  Rattleback, Nightwing and Scorch are about even -- Hazarea is slightly less. Based upon preorders for our new designs, we see a high level of interest in the new Digicamo, Hibiscus, Tribe and Eclipse designs. Check them out too.

Q: When are you going to produce road tires, downhill tires, high-pressure BMX, 16" tires, or 29'er's?
A: The popularity of SweetskinZ tires is outstripping our ability to make new sizes and styles. We have decided to make our technology available to other tire manufacturers. As we add SkinZ Application Partners a much larger selection of tread designs, sizes, colors and specification ranges will be available with SweetskinZ branded designs applied.

Q: How do you install these tires?

A: SweetskinZ tires install the same way as any other tire. Comprehensive instructions for mounting bicycle tires are published by our friends at Park Tool. See Park Tool's Website for instructions.
