Favorite Ride:
any

Bike Setup:
2004 TCR2 full ultegra

Summary:
Great set of tires for a very good price. The rear lasted only a few months when I ran over something very sharp on the road which slashed the tire. No tire would have survived that. Overall, they are pretty fast and appear to be long wearing as I have mounted the front tire on my commuter bike.

Strengths:
Rolls fast, mounts reasonably well, and is pretty light, and a great price.

Weaknesses:
None that I can think of

Bike Setup:
Rain - GT Force
Wife - Specialized Roubaix

Summary:
This is my second set purchased. Liked the great value I got for my rain bike about four years ago. Got this pair as replacements to original Specialized Pros for my wife's 2005 Roubaix.

Overall, well constructed, mount easily, roll fast and ride well. Much better than expected mileage and handeling.

I expect that I will buy them again given their great overall value and service. Hard to beat a nice pair of everyday trainers with three ligtweight tubes for a hair under $50 delivered in 3 days.

Strengths:
Best value I've seen in everyday tires
Excellent quality
Lightest tire for the price I've seen
Nice choice of colors
Ride very nice at 105-110psi (120max)

Weaknesses:
None for me but I do ride on good, cleans roads. Not a heavy weight tire and may not be a suitable "armadillo" replacement for extremely poor conditions. Liked them even more when they were $28/pr!
