Bontrager Select Kevlar

Price Paid:  $20.00 at City Cycle

Favorite Ride:
Wellington State Park

Bike Setup:
Raleigh Technium, Campy Veloce. Scott Liteflite bars.

Summary:
I have not gotten a single flat in two years of riding on these. I had a Select K on my rear, and when I needed a replacement for my front, I got another Select K! I ride on some bad Boston roads with lots of debris. These tires just fly right through it.

Strengths:
No flats in 2,000 miles. Outstanding.

Weaknesses:
I have blackwalls, which are not the best looking tires. The ride is not as responsive as some high-end Hutchinsons and IRC's I've had. I even favor the Avenir Kevlar as far as ride goes.

Weaknesses:

Favorite Ride:

Bike Setup:
Stock Schwinn Madison! (A great bike)

Summary:
I bought these tires a while ago because I had started riding fixed gear and I burned through the stock tires on skip stops (retarded, I know). I bought these because they were a decent price. I love them- I don't skid often and I never get flats. I do about 100 miles a week through some crappy Eugene streets, so....

Strengths:
Never get punctures. My other tires were getting torn up by the commute and these will get big gashes but never go flat. And I can keep on riding. I also like the 100psi- should I get a flat, my frame pump can handle that easier than 120 psi.

Weaknesses:
None that I've noticed...

Similar Products Used:
Hutchinson, Schwalbe, some generic ones? Do people keep track of the tires they go through?

Price Paid:  $20.00 at LBS

Favorite Ride:
Anywhere on the road

Bike Setup:
Zinn/Campy Road bike (16-18 years old).

Summary:
Bought a used bike and had to replace the rear tire. Put 750+ miles on it so far and not one flat. Replaced the front on last week and have 150+ with no problems.
Will probably have to replace the rear again before the century next month (1200-1400 miles) and will choose the same tire. I weigh 200 pounds and don't expect a tire to last forever.

Strengths:
Good wear, so far. NO FLATS, so far.

Weaknesses:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
