Bike Setup: Trek 1000, Stock, changed pedals to SPD clipless
Summary: Good training tire, I have well over 1500 miles and have only flatted once. I am a big rider, 215, and have ridden over just about everything; rocks, glass bits, random metal pieces, nuts and bolts, and anything else you can imagine. I still had just one flat, and cannot attribute that flat to the tire, because there was no puncture or anything. I attribute the flat to my cheapo tube. Excellent training tire!
Strengths: Very few flats, strong as tank treads
Weaknesses: rolls like tank treads, heavy, ride is a bit generic

Favorite Ride: to work and back, well not my favourite but i do it every day
Summary: well i have lost count on the flats, they began at about 500 miles and have been a daily occurrence for the last couple weeks. Ok not that bad but they seem to go in spates of 5-10. So if bad luck comes in threes then flat tires must come in 15s.
Strengths: easy on and easy off
Weaknesses: flats^n

Summary: These tires came on my LeMond Reno, and I used them for ~1600 miles (although about 600 of that was on rollers). I never had a single flat, I'd always inflate to 110psi at the start of the week and just feel them before each ride the rest of the week. I'm replacing them because they've started to wear flat (especially the rear), but I think I'll keep them for use on the rollers in winter again. I am a light rider (150lbs), so maybe that helps keep me from getting flats on these.
Strengths: Lasted a long time with no problems, only replacing due to tread wear from long usage.
Weaknesses: Performs completely generically

Summary: I have flatted in all of my last 6 rides - all on my rear wheel. Just to be safe, I changed the tires, not sure that was the problem but when I read the reviews, "Wow".
Strengths: rolls nicely.
Weaknesses: Tire doesn't protect the tub from going flat.

Summary: These are completely awful. I have had 8 flats this week. 8. My front caused an awful wipeout in a turn when it went flat. I'm lucky I wasnt hurt. Mine are going to be thrown away. If you see these on a bike. run away. This is at 700 miles.
Strengths: good practice at fixing flats. Testing patience.
