Strengths: Price, grip, speed - ok for their price.Weaknesses: Eat up gravel and puncture a lot.
Bottom Line: Purchased these tires for training in the Winter. While their grip and roll is ok, they keep puncturing, despite being brand new. Especially when it's wet. I've flattened three times in the recent five or six rides. Other tires have lasted hundred of kilometers without puncturing under the same conditions. Feels like these tires are made of margarine - they simply eat up little pieces of gravel and rocks, and embed them in the tire wall. The only good thing I have to say about them is that once you get a flat, they are thick enough so you can continue rolling until a safe stop to change the flat is found. They might do better in dry conditions. A classic case of "you get what you pay for". Though there are many better options out there. Comparably, I've ridden with Vittoria Zaffiro regular/pro's - While their ride is harsher, they are far more resistant.
Avoid these and invest in a higher quality tire.
Favorite Ride: Mt. Hermon
Price Paid:
$20.00

Similar Products Used: Vittoria Zaffiro, Vittoria Zaffiro pro, Vittoria Rubino Pro, Michelin Pro3 race and light, vredestein fortezza tricomp, Hutchinson fusion 3 (another product to avoid).

Strengths: They roll well.Weaknesses: Punctures.Bottom Line: This tyre came on the first and only bike I have ever had. I commute about 200kms per week.
I hope there are better types than this in the marketplace. Todate I have just rolled up 1600kms and I have had about 20 punctures. My colleagues have nick named me "puncture Pete". In desperation I went to a local bike shop and they suggested some tyre liners which have helped a lot. I have only had a few punctures in the last 600 ks.

Strengths: Grips the road well. Can take high pressure (up to 100 psi). Smooth ride.Weaknesses: Limited, if any, puncture protection.Bottom Line: I bought these tires to ride from Shanghai to Saigon. They're not puncture-proof (10 flats in 5000 km) but I've been surprised at how long they last. I would say they have at least another 2000 km in them, if not more.
Up to now, there is no evidence of cracks or any wear aside from the part that grips the road. The sidewalls still look like new.
Favorite Ride: Shanghai to Saigon
