Strengths: Amazing ride quality--nothing short of transformative
No flats w/sealant
Great traction in dry or wet
Comfortable
Hardly look used after 1200+ milesWeaknesses: Price--a bit steep, but will come down with more adopters
Difficult to mountBottom Line: Moved to Road Tubeless after getting tired to flats. The difference in ride quality from the Conti, Vittoria and Michelin tires I'd used before was amazing--almost like moving to a new frame or bike material. Road feel was better than tubed tires, and traction was plenty good in the rain or dry. These aren't true 25mm tires, but they are more comfortable than 700x25 tubed tires by far. And, riding the same roads with lots of road debris, I have not had a single flat--using these tires and Caffelatex sealant. I am sold, and never going back to tubed clincher tires. They are really that darned good!

Strengths: Smooth rolling, durable casing.Weaknesses: Premature tread deterioration; not really 25mm wide.Bottom Line: The tire casing is indestructible, but the tire tread develops splits and cracks easily. This happened to two out of four Intensive tires I have had. Most recently, after only two weeks of riding. I ride them at 100 PSI on Campy tubless compatible rims with Stan's sealant. I only got about 1000 miles out of my most recent front tire, and I typically get 5,000 miles out of Conti GP 4000 and then fusion tubeless front tires.
