Strengths: CHEAPWeaknesses: CHEAP, bumpy, never fit on right, very weak, fails when you need it most, never makes you feel secureBottom Line: 4 flats in 10 miles, need I say more?
I hit a pot hole, small one, and heard my back tire explode. As I changed it my front tire exploded. 5 milesl ater my front blew out at 30 mph!!! I managed to keep my bike straight and stopped. as I changed that I noticed my tube in the back had just popped its head out of the tire! Then it exploded. I ran out of tubes. I walked home 12 miles...
not a fun day

Strengths: Smooth ride, probably low price, easy to remount after changing tubesWeaknesses: Pedal effort, puncturesBottom Line: These tires came as OEM equipment on my 2007 Cannondale CAAD9 3, but after a couple years transferred all the group + wheels to a Surly Pacer. They're reasonably smooth riding but prone to puncture and seem to require more pedal effort than the wheel/tire combos on my other bikes. Fortunately they appear to wear quickly so I can replace them soon.

Similar Products Used: Conti 4000, Conti Supersport Ultra
Bike Setup: Transferred these (on Shimano WH-R560 rims) along with a largely 105 group to a Surly Pacer.

Strengths: Comfortable ride. Reasonable grip. I always felt secure. The rear was 100% spent by 800 miles. The front still had some life. Only one flat on each tire in 800 miles.Weaknesses: Reasonably fast wear... but not bad for a $20 tire. This tire is designed to do most things "OK" - I believe it meets that mission.Bottom Line: Lets be honest... This is an OEM tire which most shops don't even sell. I believe the MSRP is only $20. I got 800+ miles on tires that came with the bike. It's unfair for people to compare these to $60 Contis or whatever. For the price of one GP4000 you could buy THREE of these. I had 2 punctures during the 9 months it took me to hit 800 miles. That's not bad.

Strengths: quiet? fairly light for an inexpensive tire, inexpensive tireWeaknesses: proned to punctures, weak cornering, soft compound wears fast.Bottom Line: I just entered the roadbike world (avid MTBer) and these came on my C'dale Synapse AL. I think these are garbage, I dont have alot of experience to speak of w/ road tires but just observing the other tires in the LBS and doing research on the net. I think I speak the truth.
My experience with these in 943mi. and 3 tube replacements is they pick up a lot of debri, the tread is fairly soft and flattens fast and they don't offer much confidence for fast cornering at speed.
I religiously use Maxxis tires in MTB, not sure where thier market is on roadies, but I am unimpressed.
Favorite Ride: one on 2 wheels

Strengths: Cheap, I guess.Weaknesses: After 550km, rear tire is squared. Also, I can observe many cuts to the tire rear tire.Bottom Line: Came stock on my 2008 Cannondale CAAD9 R5. They ride ok, but I am not happy with them and I am considering changing them soon. Durability is an issue.
