Strengths: Smooth, comfortable. Nearly like a tub - but then nothing compares to a tub.Weaknesses: Slightly soft tyre walls. A bit susceptible to punctures at proper riding pressure. Bit stiff to put on the rim at first.Bottom Line: Bit tight on the rim, but once you have removed it a few times it gets a lot easier.
I used to ride Michelin High Lite Road which I never really found a replacement but they were soft and with high mileage did'nt last.
I ride the Michelin Race tyres around some very bad roads in this area. they are 23mm profile but i do not ride them with high pressure as they would be very susceptible to punctures (2 punctures in one year is not bad considering the roads and cattle grids around here). I only ride them at 75-85psi. My next tyre will be 25mm for the rear, 23mm at the front. Then I can ride them at full pressure and still get the comfort. A lot of my friends have gone down the 23F 25Rear set up.
Favorite Ride: Barrhill to Ballantrae

Strengths: Weight, looks, ride quality.Weaknesses: Cuts very easily. Mounting is almost impossible w/o help. Broken tire levers. Cost.Bottom Line: I love the ride of these tires, however, they cut very easily. I have to be very tenacious about cleaning the tires everytime I run over anything that I might fear to be a flat "causer". So, rather like riding on eggshells.

Strengths: Soft Ride
WeightWeaknesses: VERY easy to cut and punctureBottom Line: I put these on my lightweight wheel set about 2 months ago and have only used them on clean and smooth roads. I got such a great deal at my LBS, I thought I couldn't go wrong. Since the racing season is slow in the winter I have less than 100 miles on the tires and yesterday I picked up a piece of gravel that completely cut through the tire, and it's ruined. That was the second flat I'd had in less than 100 miles. I love the Vredesteins on my training wheelset, I'm going back to them. I know I got a deal on the Michelins at 35 bucks a pop, but there goes 70 bucks down the drain.
