Strengths:    Handling high speed turns

Weaknesses:    Durability, ride comfort

Bottom Line:   
These are good tires,especially when it comes to handling. I noticed that with these I do not have to leabn as much in turns as I do with Conti's or Vittoria. They get cuts like crazy. I don't like the feel of the ride compared to others i've tried. Hard to describe, but the ride they give feels less pliant/ supple than others.

Strengths:    Cornering, rolling resistance.

Weaknesses:    Durability

Bottom Line:   
These tires came on my 1999 Raleigh R700, slick with good tack, corners well and low rolling resistance. They wear after a thousand miles or so, but personally a tire is a trade off and I will take handling over durability. Only had one flat due to a goat head thorn.

Strengths:    Performance

Weaknesses:    $$, not durable

Bottom Line:   
These came OEM on my first bike purchase in ~2000 on a Cannondale. The tires performed well (low rolling resistance, good cornering), but the are prone to flats and wear out quickly. I had trouble keeping my tire more than 1000 miles. For whatever reason, I kept replacing with Axial Pros, but I am finally off of that habit.

Strengths:    Light, soft ride, low rolling resistance

Weaknesses:    Wear out quickly

Bottom Line:   
These are OK tires. They roll well, are light, stick well, and ride a bit softer than Conti's. IMO, they're a bit prone to premature wear. I get better mileage out of almost everything else I use.
