    Strengths:    grip

    Weaknesses:    price, bad buncture protection

    Bottom Line:   
    The worse tire ever. I run this tires for 3 weeks and everyday i went for a ride i've got a flat. Ride with a tube only would be more safe and enjoyble.

    Strengths:    Fantastic grip and smooth ride. Absorbs road vibration.

    Weaknesses:    Cuts easily, sidewalls started to crack.

    Bottom Line:   
    An excellent tire for racing and even training rides. Great ride and grip. Cuts easily and picks up road debris. Sidewalls on rear tire started to crack under my 185 pound weight. Decent mileage expectations.

    Strengths:    Fast and comfortable. Very predictable when cornering.

    Weaknesses:    Maybe some premature wear in the back, but nothing worth crying about.

    Bottom Line:   
    Great tire with very few flats. Now that they are discontinued I am at a loss of what to replace them with. I don't anything else will combine the speed, ride feel, flat protection and longevity of this tire. I may go for the Pro Race 3's but it doesn't sound like the same quality and the price is higher.

    Strengths:    Ride Quality
    Looks (mine are red)


    Weaknesses:    Cuts easily
    Wears quickly


    Bottom Line:   
    Love the ride quality of these tires. Roll very smoothly and handle corners nicely. Very few flats after about 750-850 miles. I plan on trying something racier (Vittoria Open Corsa CX) just to see what's better. I have a good number of cuts in the rear and a noticeable flat spot in the center ridge. Mind you, I'm barely 150 pounds and I ride about 200 miles a week on above average roads. The front is still fine.

    Strengths:    Comfort and durability. Better resistance to surface cuts than the Axial Pros; FAR better puncture resistance than the Pro3Races.

    Weaknesses:    Only that they're discontinued!

    Bottom Line:   
    It took 1K miles with the Pro3Race to remind me just how great the Pro2Race is: fast, comfortable, and very reliable. I've had no more than 10 flats in 18K miles of riding on these tires. If only Michelin would keep making them!
