Strengths:    cheap, light, durable, smooth riding, nice cornering, and puncture resistant

Weaknesses:    none

Bottom Line:   
When I first got these tires, I was afraid they were going to ride rough, because the rubber feels quite hard. Well, I like the way these tires ride better than conti 4000S's. They also last alot longer than Michelin Pro 2's. I rarely flat, so most tires seem puncture resistant to me. I push them pretty hard in corners every day, and they feel very nice to me. They're pretty well a perfect tire for me.

Strengths:    Don't tear like the old ones

Weaknesses:    Don't grip as well as the original Lithions

Bottom Line:   
The original lithion tyres had a real problem with tearing. Michelin have solved this problem by using a slightly harder compound but at the cost of grip. The tyre still performs reasonably well but not as grippy as the originals. I haven't used these in the wet yet so I can't comment on that. They have a slightly higher pressure rating than the old ones (115 psi instead of 100 psi) which is good for rolling resistance. All in all it's a reasonable training tyre.
