Strengths: great grip , very predictable/controlable in a slideWeaknesses: didn't last longBottom Line: They came on the specialized Allez Elite I bought new. First road bike. I promptly put 1500 miles on them within 4 mounths , until the rear had a flat spot 1/2 inch wide. I never got a flat (wow!).
Favorite Ride: Allez

Strengths: I haven't screwed them up yet. Look nice. Dual compound is very good in my opinionWeaknesses: The softer outer compound does get cuts in it.Bottom Line: The Specialized Mondo Pro II came on my 2010 Tarmac Comp. This is my first road bike ever and these tires have given me zero problem. They are quite nicked up from rolling over sharp stones and glass but I have never had a flat. Didn't even carry a extra tube or patch kit for the first 6 months I owned these. I weigh 185 and inflate these tires to 125psi. I hit a car once and broke my fork, but the tire was no worse for the wear.

Strengths: None. It protected the rims from the ground.Weaknesses: Poor resiliency. I will not buy another Specialized tire - ever.Bottom Line: Second worst tire I have ever owned (first being the one I replaced it with - a Specialized Armadillo Elite - it exploded with <150 miles on it). This tire exploded during a low stress training ride on a smooth, clean road. The tire had less than 300 miles on it and was inflated to 120 psi. I am glad that I was not cornering as I would have done down given the immediate deflation.

Strengths: Nice looking with color match to the bike.
Good handling.
Zero flats or problems.Weaknesses: none in my experience.Bottom Line: Lots of comments about this tire blowing up and such. Can't believe its the same tire I have. Came stock on my Tarmac Expert. Maybe there was a bad batch out there, or I lucked out with a good set.
I've put 4500 km on them with zero problems. I am over 200 lbs and run 110-120 psi. After a full season there was only a little wear in the middle of the rear tire, and a couple of tiny cuts. I could not find stock of the same color to replace the rear only, so I will run another type next season. ( Using the winter bike now )
I ride in a city and there is plenty of glass and debris. On my previous sets of tires I averaged about 6 flats per season. So I figure these are well above average.
Handling is good, easy turns, no slipping. I am not a racer, but descending a mountain road at 70 kph was fine.
If I could have replaced the worn rear with a matching new one I would have.
