Strengths: No flats, no blowoutsWeaknesses: Outer layer comes off in one piece at high speed like a re-treaded auto/truck tire after 1000 miBottom Line: Used several of these tires because of their durability. Yesterday, on a 700x28 tire with about 1000 miles, the outer tread came off in one piece at about 30 mph and wrapped itself into the rear gear cluster. I have never experienced this before. Apparently, the adhesive holding the outer rubber to the Kevlar failed

Strengths: no flatsWeaknesses: feels like riding on concrete tires, even at 65# of pressure, these tires do not inspire confidence when cornering and rattle your teeth on bad roadsBottom Line: 700-26c, tough, long-wearing tire, a bit heavy for the size and feel hard/harsh even at low pressures; if you're having trouble with flats - try these, otherwise save the weight and get some softer tires, your teeth and lower back will thank you
