Strengths: inexpensiveWeaknesses: cheap
puncture magnetBottom Line: Maybe I should wait till I have more than 40 miles on these tires before reading the riot act on them.
I bought a bike online that was equipped with these tires. Actually thought it a plus that the bike had Michelin tires But I’ve ridden the bike only for a total of 40 miles. First 20 over a couple rides were fine, but I had a rear flat about 4 miles into my third ride. I know better than to ride without a tube and pump, but I’m a little disorganized right now. Rode home on the rim, found the hole in the tube – looked like a small piece of glass made it. Next day, new tube, still no spare and flatted 4 mi. into ride.
Put a new tire and tube in and tried my third ride. I am still disorganized so no spare tube. I did buy a pump and patches which was at home. Another flat, this time on the front because I’d already put a new tire on the back. Rode home on the rim.
Fecal material happens and I’m rideing on the shoulder that has winter’s trash on it, but I’m convinced that one star is way too generous.

Strengths: NoneWeaknesses: Durability and puncture resistanceBottom Line: These are terrible tires...came stock with my bike. I've had it for 6 weeks and I've had 5 flats already. Frustrating when your 30 miles out on a 50 mile ride and you have to stop and patch the tube twice. I've they come with your bike change them immediately

Strengths: Comfortable ride, reasonably quick.Weaknesses: Over a dozen punctures before 1000 miles reached, and no confidence in the wet.Bottom Line: These tyres came as standard on my bike. Really disappointed with their puncture resistance, especially given the surfaces they run on were pretty good. Can't wait to get the Continental Ultra's on. I certainly wouldn't recommend buying these, and would advise anybody who gets them as part of their bike package to buy some patches!
