Summary:
Used to race in ironman and half ironman races. Never flatted and raced in rain hail and shine. Downhill I never get passed, up hills the legs are the problem. After racing I check the tires and have often pulled glass from both front and back. Tread is pretty thick.

Strengths:
Rolls really fast, corners well, nice and hard. You can often find these pretty cheap on Ebay. Great TT tub

Weaknesses:
A bit heavier than most racing tubs
