Strengths: Nice looking tire.Weaknesses: Not enough milage for a $40.00 tire.Bottom Line: The only problem I have is for the price of $39.99 I would think that I could get mor than 3000 to 4000 miles on them.

Strengths: I have had only one flat due to glass in the rear tire. I feel comfortable and confident haulin butt through turns on the bike.Bottom Line: These tires came on my first road bike in over 30 years, a Trek 5000 that I bought 18 months ago. I weigh 180 lbs and keep the tire pressure up around 120 psig. The with 2500 miles on them the back tire is showing it's age. There are numerous small cuts in the tread and it appears the threads are getting close to the surface in one spot (I have locked up the rear wheel a couple of times). The front tire looks very good. I plan on buying 1 new tire to mount it on the front wheel and move the front tire to the back.
Favorite Ride: country roads
Similar Products Used: My 4 year old hybred came with Continental CountryRide tires. I got 2000 miles out of them with no flats but the sidewalls cracked. They were replaced with Continental SportContact tires that have 1600 miles on them with no flats.

Strengths: None that I can discern.Weaknesses: Tire is smaller than it's stated size.Bottom Line: I was given these by a friend who didn't have a use for them anymore. I didn't even ride them before I found them unsatisfactory. The tire is labled as a 700x25c, but it actually measures out to a 23mm wide tire. My contintental GP4000 tires (which are advertised at 23mm wide) are the same width. Bike tire manufactuers will do this so that they can say "My 25mm tire is as light as XX's 23mm tire!" Very deceptive and just makes me not want to purchase anything that says Bontrager on it.
This is consistant with other bontrage tires I have experienced (the Bontrager select 700x28c) as it was also 2mm narrower than what was stated.
Favorite Ride: anything with no wind

Strengths: No flatsWeaknesses: None, so farBottom Line: Have almost 800 miles on Oregon Coast winter roads. No problem when wet roads or cornering. I keep between 100-110 psi which may partially account for my not having any flats yet.

Bike Setup: Madone 6.5
