Strengths: Supple, handles well.Weaknesses: It is a race level tire, so it of course cuts and is susceptible to effects of road debris. If ya can't accept this, ride a Rec tire instead.Bottom Line: Went through 2 sets of these tires. They are low milage tires, and do cut fairly easily, but they are race level tires and are very supple. Road them to the casing and while I had a couple flats, they were no worse than other tires and had no catastrophic failures. I even had a screw go through the sidewall on one pair, booted it, and rode it as a R. Tire another 800 flawless miles until the cord hinted it was going to show.
Favorite Ride: Look 381i
Price Paid:
$31.00

Strengths: Very light, and I love the ride. Fast and have been through rain, dirt and gravel.Weaknesses: Have had over 10 flats alone just on the 3 sets I have had. I have to keep changing them because they just don't last. I built this bike from scratch and have had the pro lites on exclusively and I am tired of the hassles. They are also a pain in the butt to mount.Bottom Line: The last 3 set of tires have been the axial pro lites, but mostly because I got a pretty good deal on them. After this last flat, I won't buy Michelin for a while. Less than 200 miles on these and a rock made the rear tire look like it had been through the war. I'm sending them back tomorrow.
Favorite Ride: where the roads don't stop

Strengths: Light
Great AccelerationWeaknesses: They flat ALL the time!Bottom Line: These tires were great at first. They are super light and you really do notice the difference when you try to accelerate. However they flat way to easily and are easily punctured. One day I hit a small rock on the road and that led to a "snake bite" and another day what looked like a small thorn went right though the tires like nothing. While they are marketed as race day tires, I would be wary to use them, for the flat rather easily.
Favorite Ride: any place with clean roads (no glass) and few cars

Strengths: smooth ride, great gripWeaknesses: too expensive at full priceBottom Line: Super tire. replace the 700x25c dura-skin and Vittoria Courier TT with the world championship color 23c's. They ride superb, handle great in the corners, and after running over glass 4 times today, still perfect.
I should have bought another set.
