Summary: I liked the tire, but its durability sucked. After 600 miles, I finally needed to retire them. My last flat occurred 4 miles after the previous flat.
Strengths: Good looks. Nice ride.
Weaknesses: Poor durability. Many flats.

Summary: I am a clydesdale (6’1” and 215lbs) and I rode these tires for several seasons and thousands of miles because I liked to ride 'em at about 140psi. They have a max psi of 150. I couldn't find another tire that would handle that much pressure, so I continued to ride these.
Well, I couldn't figure out why I was always having more flats than everybody else. I thought it was because of the high pressure and my fat ass, etc. I just continued to change flats several times a year and continued to get frustrated. Probably had a flat every 300-400 miles or so.
Then I needed to replace a set and could not readily get the Panaracers, so at the urging of a few friends, I bought some Continental Grand Prix 3000s. In 5000 miles, I've only had one flat and that was because the valve stem broke off. I’m able to ride the 3000’s at about 125psi and it works out just fine.
Long story, (no so) short - Unless you like to fix flats, stay away from these tires.
Strengths: Inflatable to 150psi.
Relatively comfortable ride.
Weaknesses: Lot and lots of flats. These things flat so easy and I can't even beleive it.
