    Strengths:    wear as long as other race tires.
    lots of grip.


    Weaknesses:    tubeless set up is time consuming

    Bottom Line:   
    Very positive experience. I've used Open Corsa and Gran Prix 3000 & 4000s tires. I'm using with tubeless set up. No flats in >1000miles. Rear tire is starting to 'square off'. Front in great shape still. Tires have plenty of grip.

    Strengths:    Fast, handles well.

    Weaknesses:    Relatively short lifetime

    Bottom Line:   
    Overall a great tire. Very fast and has great handling. They do wear fast and after about 1000 miles I can certainly tell the difference from when I first bought them.

    Strengths:    Easy to convert/install, fast, comfy, lower psi

    Weaknesses:    Losing air over a few nights, but improving

    Bottom Line:   
    A bit early to write a review (<300 miles), but I'm very impressed with them. I'll have to follow up.

    This the first of my tubeless tire conversions that did not require an air compressor. Mtb and cross, I had to head down to the local gas station to fire them up. Just a simple floor pump and away it went.

    A few weeks into it and it still loses air over a couple nights, but I do see improvement. When you first install the tire, they look way small, like 19cm. But with riding, the viagra kicks in and they grow over the next couple of rides. Never seen it before in other tires, but this is probably how tubeless works with the stiffer side walls. It just needs time to break in.

    These were put on my Rolf Vigor RS wheels with Stan's tape. Took maybe a bit more than 20 minutes total time to install. I've run with 110 psi and down to 60+ and never felt any issues. Generally, when my tubed tires would get below 100 psi, I could feel the wheels slosh in the corners.

    Strengths:    Grip, Ride, Puncture Protection (especially when using hutch fast'air.

    Weaknesses:    a little lighter than ultralight tube+light clincher tire

    Bottom Line:   
    Previous review was for another tire. Performance never sold the tubeless Atom tire for $24.

    This is an excellent tubeless road tire - and now that there are some excellent tubeless road wheels, one should really give them a try. They ride as well as top tubulars, they get less flats than other tires, and they grip. I rode 3000 flat free miles on Fusion 2 tubeless tires and have yet to flat these in 700 miles.

    Strengths:    Fast, light, responsive. Corner well

    Weaknesses:    possibly not great in wet conditions- slick pattern

    Bottom Line:   
    purchased 4 from performance at 24.00 each. Figured uf I didn't like them, I'm not out much. These are great tires. They grip well, although i haven't tried them in the rain yet. They are quite light, coming in at 175-179g. they are very lively and roll very fast. they are however 21mm wide, which takes a little getting used to. You don't even have to open your brake calipers! I have taken quite a few corners, and found them predictable. They also semm very tough for being so light and with the high TPI count.
