CST Czar

Price Paid:  $36.00 at Ebay

Favorite Ride:
Chicago lake shore

Bike Setup:
Cannondale R700

Summary:
These cst czar tires were nearly unmountable . It took me half an hour a broken quick stick tire lever and a lot of grunting to mount one. I never did ride it. I immediately removed it which took another twenty minutes damaged my rim and punctured my tube. I know that there can be some times tight rim and tire combinations but this was beyond the pale and I know how to change a tire. I've contacted CST hoping my pair are just defective and that the entire line are not this bad.

Strengths:
cheap if you can get them to work

Weaknesses:
unmountable, heavy

Summary:
These tires are garbage. No advantage in puncture resistance, ride like baby's solid tricycle wheels.

Casing/thread peeled off in +/- 1 inch sections on both tires, in several places. All w/less than 1k miles.

Junk
