Strengths:    Look like tyres

Weaknesses:    Punctures, Flats, Wear, Cornering

Bottom Line:   
These tyres came with my new bike and as a noob I knew nothing about bikes and even less about tyres.

For the first five or so months I was either incredibly lucky or the wear on the tyre was not enough to let any debris through. Since then I have had a litany of punctures until last week when I managed to get 100 % failure rate.

I suppose as they came with the new bike you could argue they were reasonable value as they were free with the new bike. Or you could argue the bike was free with them in which case they are a total waste of time and money. They are destined for the bin probably by next monday.

Strengths:    Price, road feel, longevity.

Weaknesses:    Weight.

Bottom Line:   
I bought these (in 700x25C) to use over the winter on my rollers as they were cheap.
Ended up putting them on a month before the end of the season because I needed to replace a damaged tire and I wasn't expecting much from them due to the price.
I was pleasantly surprised by the road feel and performance of these tires. Surprised enough that in the spring I replaced the squared-off rear with another UltraSport and rode the rest of the season on them.
Obviously the wire beads and the level of grip (compared to a race tire) mean they aren't race tires but for anything else, especially if you are on a budget I'd recommend them.
They've been good to me as far as flats go too.

Strengths:    Ride quality, puncture free, good looking, comfort, grip. Came with tubes.

Weaknesses:    Other reviews.

Bottom Line:   
Have a pair on my fitness bike, 700c x 23 on the front, 700c x 25 on the back. No punctures yet after a year on back roads. I rode the bike down through the woods today for a shortcut, still had grip on dirt. On road they're a nice feeling ride, good grip from soft compound. When they wear out, I'll probably get another pair. Good for me, out in the sticks but the other guys seem to pick up debris. Rear also works well on my trainer, nice and quiet. Very happy with these.

Strengths:    Cheap

Weaknesses:    Very weak and punctures easily

Bottom Line:   
I weigh around 140 and only inflate these up to around 95-100psi. No joke, these puncture EXTREMELY easily. They lasted 1 collegiate season (500 miles) then when I was merely WALKING the bike in a parking lot, the back tire punctured. Switching to gatorskins.
