Strengths: Grip, cut resistanceWeaknesses: Price and availabilityBottom Line: I have used variations of this tire since 2001 and absolutely love them! They stick like glue, roll smoothly and are more resistant to cuts/flats than Michelins Pro Race & Conti tires. I have never had any problems with the beads. I run these at 110-120 psi. Found better price on the net recently, $34. Highly recommended!
Favorite Ride: Lakemont (Winter Park, FL)

Bottom Line: Do not buy these tires. Even for free don't use them. Will not stay on rim at even low pressure. 3 blowouts on first & last ride with them. they should be recalled. Dangerous...... They suck!

Strengths: Low rolling resistance, corner well, smooth riding.Weaknesses: Too early to tell on second set, but nothing to complain about so far.Bottom Line: This is my second review of this tire since 2003. True, the older pair I had cut a bit easier than other tires I have used. However, I have a new set purchased 6 mos ago and no such cut pattern has presented. I do not think they are as sticky as the older pair, but more than adequate and low rolling resistance.

Strengths: Seems grippyWeaknesses: Loose bead, not round, has lumpsBottom Line: Hey,
I wanted to love this tire. Light, not too expensive, and according to the "testing", very grippy. The only problem was, the bead is so loose, that it blew off the rim at about 100psi. I replaced the tube and got it up to 120. The problem now is that it is so lumpy and out of round that I am not going to run it. I rode it this morning and it felt stable in the corners, but I just don't trust it. I just put on a Conti Attack and it is so smooth and true, and I know it is not going to blow off the rim. I have worked in shops forever, so I do actually know how to mount a tire.

Bottom Line: These tires suck, I flatted after only onehundred miles (which can happen with any tire)but the tire looks like somebody sliced it with an x-acto knife! I have to throw it out! After 100 miles of riding!!
I don't know what to say...considering how expensive they were, I think it's a bit of a joke!
