Strengths: Low rolling resistance
Puncture resistantWeaknesses: Squirrelly on muddy/wet asphalt
Tough to mount on rimsBottom Line: I have ridden about 1000 miles of various roads from urban/industrial areas to rural roads and highways on the 700x32 RibMo. I bought these to replace a set of Specialized Borough CX that were very prone to punctures. I weigh about 175 and I am running 75 psi in both tires. The RibMo is smooth, fast, and I haven't had to repair a flat since I mounted them.

Bottom Line: I seem 2 agree that the tires have a tough side wall and good flat protection making them reliable and hassle free. how ever, they may not b the best for ease of rolling, they do hold up to the name, if your riding situation condition allows , you may b able to go ahead with maximum air pressure for assist w/ the ease of rolling down the road.

Strengths: Good rolling resistance for commuter/touring type tire. Very puncture resistant, and light for their tread type. Handle very well with lots of loaded weight and fast turns. Had punture through center of tread after maybe 4 months and 500 miles on a crappy beat up gravel trail!! The piece of glass the was able to make it through the tire would have destroyed many other tire casings via a large rip in casing, but managed only a small hole in these!! Still riding them and love them!Weaknesses: Nothing so far ecept maybe a little stiff on the initial mounting to wheel,but with sidewalls this strong you kinda have to expect it.Bottom Line: I (and my wife) have the RibMo's on our Giant's in 700x32c These tires are a personal favorite among many top BRANDS!

Strengths: Rolling resistance and durability.Weaknesses: Cannot ride these tires on ice or snow.Bottom Line: The best touring/commuter tires I have used. Very puncture resistant and roll nice. The contact area is narrow and the casing is much wider. The only time I got a flat was when I had to remove a nail. These get the highest rating because I don't know of a better touring tire that exists.

Strengths: Doesn't get flats on the commute.Weaknesses: Ridgid, ride is a little bumpier.
I'll sacrafice a soft ride for a ride without flats.Bottom Line: 1,000 miles so far and zero flats. That is a record for me. The streets of Queens, NY are not the kindest to bike tires.

$36.00
Purchased At: NiagaraCycleWorks
Similar Products Used: Kenda Cross (absolute crap). Got two flats on first two commutes (both from tiny pieces of glass that went right through the belt).
Bike Setup: specialized hard rock
