TPI means threads per inch. Inside every tire there are layers of cloth that form the actual strength of the tire, much like rebar in concrete. A low TPI count means that what's inside the tire will look a bit like burlap, while a high TPI means that it'll be more like cloth. High TPI often means better quality, but not always.

TPI stands for Threads Per Inch.

Inside the rubber casing there's a cloth layer to provide strength, and TPI tell you how coarse or fine this weave is.

Generally speaking a higher TPI will give a stronger and smoother rolling tire.
