    Strengths:    They are round. Apart from that, didn't have much in the way of redeeming features.

    Weaknesses:    No puncture resistance whatsoever. Used them a couple of times after Ironman, but ended up throwing them away in disgust after continual punctures

    Bottom Line:   
    I purchased a pair of the ProLite 2 tyres, much to my regret, for use on the NZ Ironman 2007. Despite only 500 kms these tyres punctured twice during the event.Definitely not suited to the hard roads of New Zealand, and enough to put me off this brand

    Strengths:    Rolling resitance, weight

    Weaknesses:    Not long lasting, puncturing

    Bottom Line:   
    Fastest tire I know, seems to be without rolling resistance. Grip in corners is adequate but there are better tirers around. Grip in wet is bad.
    Does not last long, and punctures quite easy.

    But if you want the lightest and fastest this among, if not the best
