Strengths: good in the wet!!!good road surface absorbtion, not heavy very light tyre.Weaknesses: no reflective band on the side wall so cars drivers see you as they come in to an intersection at night.Bottom Line: From my experience daily commuter of 60k's per day and 300 k's sometimes on the weekend with my bike in full touring pack mode, front and rear panniers atleast 30kg's, they are just so good,soft but light I run mine at 75-80psi they carry a lot of weight and they at times take a real hiding.they have the ability to absorb the rough stuff but when back on the bitumen light enough to put the pedal to the metal and get back into top gear, punctures are part and parcel of cycling it's just bad luck nothing to do with the tyre and from my experience there is no discernable difference unlike some others I've had in dry road or wet road handling.I love these tyre,that's why I sought this web page to say to michelin how impressed I am with them.

Strengths: None so far other than the fact that they were free.Weaknesses: Puncture resistenceBottom Line: I have used these tyres for commuting to work (11 miles each way) and have now had 3 punctures in the last month (700 x 23 tyres). The tyres came free with my Giant TCR 1 and are brand new. On my previous bike (Specialised Tarmac which was stolen) I had Gator skins and didn't have a sinlge puncture in a year. Do not buy these tyres.

Strengths: I'm assuming the price is pretty good.Weaknesses: Well, couple hundred miles and it's flat.Bottom Line: Just rebuilt my old schwinn, thought I'd save some money on the wheel/tire combo, so these came with the rims. This is my first experience with higher quality parts on my ride, but I have a feeling these things were meant for smaller riders. I weigh about 210 and I just beat them up on some rough road. I ride to work 16 miles one way and they've been fine, but the first time I went out on a Saturday on an unfamiliar road the rear went flat. I've still got the other on the front and I'm getting more and more motivated just to go ahead and replace it.
Favorite Ride: Anywhere the sun's out

Bike Setup: 80's Schwinn World Sport, mostly ultegra. 105 crank and bottom bearing. Old School roadie.
