Good overall tires, but inspect the bead for Q/C before mounting.
These are pretty bog-standard, basic tires. They're by no means at the level of Schwalbe Delta Cruisers, but they're decent and will fit an English Roadster with EA3/650A wheels where the tread and reflective wall of the Delta Cruisers just won't do.*However,* I highly suggest you check the bead on these for quality control before (and when) you mount them. One of the two tires I received back in September 2018 seems to have a casting flaw around the bead which has made the bead uneven and soft in one area, and prone to blow off the rim. A second replacement tire had the same problem.While this issue does not present a problem on hooked bead rims (e.g., Sun CR18s or the EA3 rims on second-generation Spin dockless bicycles), the majority of EA3 rims out there are old, straight-side Raleigh Westricks, like my own. The casting flaw caused the tire to blow off the rim a few months back. I remounted it and couldn't find any issues at the time, but I finally caught sight of the problematic bead working its way off the sidewall when reinflating the tires later on.The second photo attached shows the problematic bead seat: Not enough rubber has been cast around the wire bead in this area, exposing the nylon weave. From the mounting witness marks, it appears as if the rubber never made full contact with the seat of the rim, giving it wiggle room to slowly slide up the sidewall. The third photo shows what the rest of the bead seat looks like - and should look like.This might not affect a hooked bead as much if you're running CR18's or similar, but on straight side Raleigh/Sturmey rims, take extra caution.For the record, I checked and re-checked to make sure the rim strip had not shifted into the seating area where my tire kept blowing off. The rim strip remained perfectly centered. It's also the right size not to interfere with the bead seat.Keep this in mind when your set arrives. Inspect it thoroughly so you don't discover this a year later - when you can't bring a defective tire forward for a replacement.In the meantime, I am running these same tires on a second-gen, retired Spin dockless bicycle that's been converted to pneumatic tubes. I've had no issues on these hooked bead EA3s.

Classic Look
If you are into old English 3-speed bicycles like I am, you have probably seen cream tires. I restored a Triumph bicycle in black. I put black tires on it. It looked nice. After several years, I installed these cream tires. It looks so much better. They are the usual 65 psi tires pressure. I liked the Michelin World Tour tires because they can be aired up to 80 psi, but don't look as good as the cream tires. Since I am not riding it as regular transportation, the 65 psi is fine. That is, after all, what that size tires usually was rated.

QC lacking a bit.
Tires look great, but don't fit. Ordered 26" got 26" appear to be 28" but stamped 26" not sure how this happens. This isn't the first time I've ordered bike tires online, never had this happen before. Tried several times to get a return slip to no avail.

Happy with customer service.
I picked up these tires to replace the dry rotted originals on my 70's Peter Pan bike. I went with the red to try something different. When they arrived, the color was spot on compared to the website. After reading some comments on quality issues, I did inspect the tires well and everything seemed good and were a perfect fit on the rims. The only issue was that the wrong size was sent initially. After contacting Street Lowrider, they were very accommodating on resolving the issue and sent out replacements quickly.I've bought these tires 6 months prior to this review and probably have around 50 miles on at this time. No issues so far and very happy with the purchase.

Nylon with a wire bead. Cute!!
These are so cute! But alas they have scuffs all over. I’ll post the worst scuffs and talk to the seller but I still recommend these. They have a nylon interior and wire bead for a nice tight install.
