Strengths: Flat resistant and fast.Weaknesses: I had the tire blow the bead at 120 psi while just getting underway for my daily ride . It is probably more Of a rim issue than a tire issue?Bottom Line: I had 2,200+ miles on them before my first flat!!!!! I was amazed they were so flat resistant considering they roll so fast and are pretty light weight.

Strengths: Good rolling resistance, grippy enough for me.Weaknesses: Just like any tire it can get cuts from the road debris.Bottom Line: These came stock on my Allez Elite and despite the other ratings I had not had any flats. But after almost a year ont he tire I did get a cut in the tread so instead of waiting for an issue to arise I replaced it even though I probably could have gotten away with it longer if I just slapped some Shoe Goo over it. But I'm over cautious at times so I just bought an Armadillo tire. I'd still recommend getting them if i hadn't gotten a deal on the Armadillo's.

Strengths: Nice feel. Fast. Handle well.Weaknesses: None so far, but some may become evident as I put more km's on them.Bottom Line: These came stock on my 08 Specialized Tarmac Elite. I had read reviews on here and was initially worried, but so far they have held up well. I've done about 750km so far without a flat. I make sure I have them at 120psi for each ride.

Bottom Line: This tire came stock on my Specialized Tarmac. I got my first flat on the rear at 785 mils. Now at 800 miles, the bead on the front tire just popped out form the wheel.
