Strengths:    Price is right. Smooth which is great for indoor trainers. Durable.

Weaknesses:    Difficult to mount onto rim

Bottom Line:

Great, strong, bald tire. The only problem is getting them on and off rims. They are "incredibly" tight-fitting. There is no way you will get these on your hands or even basic blastic tire-irons. You will need heavy-duty plastic ones. Be prepared to struggle, seriously.

Date Reviewed: August 2, 2011

Strengths:    DURABILITY AND FLAT RESISTENT.

Weaknesses:    NOT A SUPPLE RIDE. NOT A TIRE FOR A RAINY DAY.

Bottom Line:

This tire wears like iron. After 2000KM plus the tire shows hardly any signs of wear. The downside is you feel every little stone and pavement ripple between the road and rubber.
THIS TIRE DOES NOT PERFORM WELL ON WET ROADS. THE TIRE DOES NOT GRIP A RAIN SOAKED PAVEMENT WELL AND DOES NOT INSPIRE CONFIDENCE IN SHARP TURNS.

Date Reviewed: June 27, 2011

Strengths:    Durability; plush ride in size 700x25c

Weaknesses:    True size larger than advertised; can be slippy in the wet

Bottom Line:

Hi all: Got 5000 km out of the tyres in size 700x25c. First two flats after 5000 km (big thorn in the front tyre; chip in the rear) on horribly bad scottish roads around Edinburgh. Can see through to the carcass on the rear tyre after 5000 km.

Good tyres worth the price.

Good compfy tyres in size 25mm. NOTE: real size on my Fulcrum R5 rims: 26.mm wide and 25mm high. Check tyre clearance ob your bike.

Rating only 4 though due to not perfect swerve in the wet.

Strengths:    good looking
soft ride

Weaknesses:    cuts
tread separation

Bottom Line:

wife's bike tire...matching color....good reviews...bought them...
Experienced numerous small cuts with no flats until last week...rear tire delaminated a section about the size of a dime in the center of the tread...no known cause...usual riding area...nothing different...less than 700 miles on them...never but them again...going back to Conti's = no flats and excellent wear...

Strengths:    ZERO

Weaknesses:    Sidewall too weak

Bottom Line:

This tire is a POS. It split the sidewall in 4 places after 3 weeks of commute-to-work riding
