Strengths: "Budget/competitive priced"
"Reasonable wear-ressistance and sidewalls"Weaknesses: Heavier than speicified 220g (actual weight 230g)
Skid-accident prone
Poor road adhesion
Carcass weaknessBottom Line: Cyclist @ 69kg + roaf bike @ 9.0kg + accessories @ 3kg = 81kg
Installed 700 X 20C onto front wheel only and travelled less than 3000 km
Now have to re-install the old Vittoria back for safety reason (avoid another skidding: year-end raining season approaching)
Skidded once on wet tiled floor. Only take bend/corner on paved road with rear brake applied due poor road adhesion at front wheel
Fine cracks noted on sidewalls after a tube failure never happened on (Vittoria tyre replaced)
Your life worth more than to risk it on such tire
Let us hope PANARACER stop making such dangerous product(s)

Strengths: cheap, cheap, cheap.Weaknesses: flat at the drop of a hatBottom Line: worst. tire. ever. These were my cheap "emgergency reserve" tires in the spares box. So far, I've been through 2 tires in 2 days. Both lasted less that 15 miles before flatting, both times a piece of glass sliced right through the middle of the contact patch.

Strengths: Cheap, durable tread, high pressure, 26C widthWeaknesses: A bit of a harsh ride due to the low thread countBottom Line: Been using these for almost a year now and they have shown to be very durable. I've suffered a couple of flats, which in one year is not all that bad. I have about 1000 miles on them an they look great. My only complaint is that they ride a bit stiff due to the 26tpi casing...but you get what you pay for.

Strengths: Light, low resistance, cheap.Weaknesses: Bad casing structure, not durable.Bottom Line: Currently, this is the worst tires i have been using. I'm using this tire no more than 20km and it blown suddenly. Initially, i thought that i have hit chip stones and causing the tire blown. But, after checking thoroughly, it is manufacturing defect, the casing cannot support the recommended psi as shown on their website. I can see a deep crack in the center of the casing and causing the tire to break. Anyway, if I'm not the "lucky" person, this is a very low resistance tire, good for training and group riding and it is relatively light as well, roughly 240 - 245 grams.
