Description Turn the corner more quickly and with more confidence
weave through the competition faster than anyone else
because of a marvelous new material based on the highly
regarded Silica ZSG compound.
Summary: Have had good luck and bad luck with these. Got a set of them. The rear tire was cut by glass after about 200 miles and was unrepairable. Front has gone for about a 1000 miles with little wear except for some nicks.
Strengths: Lite, mount easy, feel fast
Weaknesses: Pick up debri, seem to be cut easily by glass

Bike Setup: Scattante 650R triple will full Ultegra
Summary: The corners were squared off at about 600 miles and I'm only 160 lbs. I would think tires should last at least 1000 miles. I got what I paid for. I'll spend a little more next time.
Strengths: Good cornering and low rolling resistance.
Weaknesses: Low mileage

Bike Setup: Trek 5000 / dura ace wheels. PBS regular presta tubes. I weigh 160lbs.
Summary: I admit I buy cheaper tires but these aren't worth the work I've been through fixing flats. Since I've had them on I've had 4 flats in 5 rides, 2 in one day. One bit of glass was so small I was amazed it made a hole.
Strengths: These tires roll easily, I pump the front to 125 and back to 135. They have great traction.
Weaknesses: Might be fine for roads without small pointy rocks or bits of glass or thorns
