Strengths: Cheap, easy to install, relatively lightWeaknesses: Cheap, rear wheel drift on wet surfaces.Bottom Line: These tires came with my Tommaso Volo, bought 16 months ago. I've ridden the bike for 4,800km with these tires in Vancouver area, Palm Springs and the back roads and hills of Tuscany. I had low expectations for them, given their low price and generally poor reviews. But they held up well and probably still have several hundred miles left on them. I had three punctures (two near Palm Springs). I think I've been lucky, but am not tempting fate - just installed Gaterskins.
Favorite Ride: Tuscany
Similar Products Used: Continental Gaterskins (folding)

Strengths: bad tiresWeaknesses: worst tiresBottom Line: i set up my wife's bike on hutch equinox. she used it for about 10 short rides totalling less than 100kms. most of the time, it was hung at the rack. when i prepped the bike in the evening, i noticed the front tire was flat. when i examined the tire, the carcass gave way and there were huge cracks on the sidewall. i read the bad reviews but ignored them. do not buy this kind of tires.

Strengths: Decent wear, weight, rolling resistance and price.Weaknesses: Don't have cool factor.Bottom Line: I can't agree with most of the reviews I have read. I have used these tires for about 2000 miles and have been extremely pleased with them. The weight is less than what I have seen claimed (210 gm) and do not have good cross experience with many other tires. The previous tires I used on the bike where Maxxis Zenith, also decent tires. These tires roll as well as they did. I have had only one flat with these tire. The only reason I gave them a 4 on value is because I bought them from lbs and paid more for them, they can be purchased very cheap on the internet.

Strengths: looksWeaknesses: weak, too thin, low max psi(110)Bottom Line: I had a straight through puncture in 5 miles on a ride I've done countless times with other tires. Fail. look good, but not for the road!!! I have used Continentals for years without problems, gashes have never even punctured a tube, these are crap. Buy them if you want your bike to look good, and you only use them on a trainer or rollers. They are not road ready.
