Strengths: lets see... They roll. I have probably put 2500 miles on them and they are about ready to be replaced. I like the feel. It is my 1st carbon fiber high end bike so I am no aficionado. I am a northeast rider so they roads are um, bad. Pot holes, glass debris and such. They haven't ripped apart.Weaknesses: Flats, flats, and more flats. I guess the sloppy roads don't help. Also, sluggish in high heat conditions.Bottom Line: Overall a good value I guess. Keep spare tubes with you at all times, at all times!

Strengths: Grip, smooth.Weaknesses: No puncture protection at all.Bottom Line: This tires came with set of new wheels I purchased. After 150 miles I got my first flat tire. As others have mention, the tires are very soft which is good for grip but really bad for picking up crap from the road. The tires don't inspire confidence at all when so be sure to have a spair tube with you at all times. On perfectly clean roads the tires perform as race tires should, grippy, good rotation and smooth.

Strengths: Performance was good.Weaknesses: durability lackedBottom Line: Bought these tires as a cheaper alternative to the 4000's. Had no problems with wet/dry/cornering/etc. However, at about 200 miles the tire was squared off...this is a bad thing. I air up before every ride to 110 PSI and weigh 180lbs. At about 600 miles, the purple low tread indicator began to show through all around the riding surface of the tire. I ride on good enough roads and dont lock up the brakes. I honestly expected more mileage, as the front tire is fine. Maybe I should have rotated every 150 miles. On the bright side I never had a flat, fishtail, or any negative result. I am 30 years old and can hang with most ppl here in south FL.
Favorite Ride: South Florida is all the same
Price Paid:
$40.00
Purchased At: LBS

Strengths: Long lasting, smooth ride, flat resistantWeaknesses: None for a commuting tireBottom Line: Came on my new bike. Have put >5,000 miles on the original set. Tires ride smooth which is good for Northern Michigan where roads are so bad. Maybe not the fastest rolling, but they last. Ride 18 miles round trip to work almost every day (depending on weather) including winter; only 1 flat. Agree with other reviewers to keep the pressure high and that the tires do pick up stones.
Favorite Ride: Any that get's me away from work
Purchased At: OE on new bike

Strengths: It has a soft ride. Great for the horrible roads this spring in New Jersey. As good as riding on a 25.Weaknesses: The rubber compound is a bit soft and can hold on to pebbles or glass. I haven't had any flats, so I can't really complain.Bottom Line: I like this tire for recreational use. At 220 grams for the folding tire it's not too heavy. The recommended pressure is 110 psi. USE THIS PRESSURE. I put slightly over 120 psi in the tire and the bead started to rise. I let the air out and reseated the tire and all was well.
The tire feels confident in all the conditions I've come across.
Favorite Ride: 60 mile group ride
Price Paid:
$35.00
Purchased At: on line
Similar Products Used: Bontragger dual compound. Standard equipment on my Trek. The Continental gives a better ride.
