Strengths: Decently fast.Weaknesses: Horrible bead strength, horrible puncture protection, and very un-durable.Bottom Line: Don't buy these tires. I've used them for thousands of miles and have had several flats (almost every week, with Mr. Tuffy Tire liners!). The bead somehow manages to not cede correctly and pop off the rim catastrophically (happened to me twice, popping two brand new tubes). In fact, I have used cheap $8 tires that have performed better than this garbage. These tires are only worth less than the rubber they're made from. Do not buy!

Strengths: more than 5000 km trouble free on front and back.Weaknesses: Then the rubber started to peel off on the rear tire. Never inflated beyond a100 psi. Not clear why. The body remains sound. No signs of rubber coming loose on the front.Bottom Line: I will try a replacement as the tires have been puncture free and feel sound on the road .

Strengths: Puncture protection, handle abuse.Weaknesses: Have to be pumped up tight to get the rolling resistance down, tread peels of with age. Bit hefty in the larger sizes.Bottom Line: Been using these for 5-6 years at 100km week for most of the year. Surprisingly puncture proof, only realised how good they were when I tried other tyres and got lots of punctures. They have limits though - although carpet tacks and two inch nails you can't complain! They give a good life but they get to a point where the tread just gives up and peels off the underlying canvas. (Been like this ever since I have used them so not a once of case) Would go through 2 rears and a front in a years riding - definitly chew a rear out in a summer. Used 25 and 28mm liked the 28 as it let you go places 23 shod bikes havn't a hope (yes on a road bike!). I think they are getting dated there are tougher (gatorskins) and better performing (michelin pro's) tyres out there now that never use to be around. I think Bontrager needs to put a bit of effort into them if they want to keep the sales on these up.
