Strengths:    Fast, supple, good ride and handling

Weaknesses:    Only inflates to 110psi, much like the Michelin ProRaceII

Bottom Line:   
The Nokian Roadie Pro is a very good tire. I would recommend ignoring the other review as the rider overinflated his/her tire.
This is a fast tire, kind of a mix between a Schwalbe Stelvio and a Michelin Pro Race. Highly recommended.

Strengths:    It didnt't last enough to see any :)

Bottom Line:   
I bought this tyre for rear purpose. It is sold as 23mm but is narrower than that, so I inflated it to 9 bars, recommend. is 7.7.
It has done some 100km today, and 100km before. 3 rides total. At the end of the ride today I noticed smome strange feeling, like the rear end of bike is shaking. I thought that the road was bad and didnt pay much attention. At home I noticed rather big deformation that was the cause. It looks like some layer of casing cant't hold the air on that spot as strong as it can all around the tyre. Or maybe the threads got broken....I don't know but the deformation is there.
I did overinflate it, but that's what I do with all my tires and I don't think that 3 rides could do mauch harm to it.
I'm not sure how to rate it because it didn't last a single week.
I'll assume that something was wrong with mine and will give it 3 stars in value (not cheep) but can't give it anything more than 1 star in overall. Too bad, because it gave me a good feeling on the road...I had it only with GP3000 20cm before. Unless this is isolated problem, these are very good tires. I'm just sorry it didn't give me enough time to prove it.
