Strengths: Cheap
Folding
DurableWeaknesses: Plain looks
Heavy
Bottom Line: Bought these as a cheap, folding and durable tire - I have definitely had my money's worth! They held up well for over a year of commuting/training on some really harsh road surfaces and during some nasty weather. The only flats I got (4) were experienced during wet weather, bits of glass and 1 inch pieces of wire etc. I could not imagine any tire doing much better for the price but I had to hold my breath in the wet. Grip was OK but not remarkable, they got cut up pretty badly towards the end.

Strengths: Cheap as chips - £6 each!Weaknesses: Very weak tyre that is prone to punctures.Bottom Line: 5 punctures within 600 miles - says it all really. Terrible tyres. Cheap tyres are a false economy (you've got to make this mistake once to appreciate why good tyres cost a lot). The grip is lacking in anything but dry conditions and they don't inspire any confidence. Handling is 'wooley' at best.

Strengths: The price mostly. Cheap. A lot of value in this one. Very smooth rolling.Weaknesses: Not light enough to be a race day tire.Bottom Line: I've ridden lots of different road bike tires over the past several decades and keep coming back to the Speedium. No, it not a race day tire. As far as bang for you buck goes it's realativly speedy, puncture resistant and durable. I just can't seem to beat it for recretional/trainging rides.

Strengths: Flat resistant, great wearWeaknesses: Not exciting in turns and slippery when wetBottom Line: Bought these to replace Hutchinson Fusion 2 tires, which wore out way too fast. The Speediums were great training tires.

Strengths: The yellow matched my bikeWeaknesses: Magnets for nails, glass, and thorns.Bottom Line: My friend gave these to me because the bead kept popping out of his rims. Soon after I started riding with these tires, I started picking up nails. Its like the tires were magnetic. I had to throw the back tire out after only a few months and several nails, shards of glass, etc. The front tire lasted almost a year, but I wouldn't recommend these to anyone
