Strengths:    Thick tread, tough construction, never a problem running 85 psi for 3+ years.

Weaknesses:    2" versions a wee bit heavy, but that's to be expected.

Bottom Line:   
I've used these tires for the last 3 years plus, and only now are they beginning to deteriorate due to age.

They have ample tread thickness to deal with the usual bits of broken glass, rocks, goatheads etc. on my daily commute.

I've put over 6600 hard street miles on these tires, and while they are heavy [the 2" wide ones], they rock.

I'll be buying the narrower 1.5" versions this time around.
