Favorite Ride:
Road

Bike Setup:
Vitus aluminum, Velocity wheels

Summary:
Very nice tire. They are stiff, but not heavy as previous review sugests. They are 230 grams at 700/23. Ride very smoothly- easy rolling and fast. I do a lot of miles and some climbing, but no real hard race cornering or all-out down hills, so I cannot talk about cornering, except to say they feel fine to me. I have not felt shaky on them in a turn I will say that. Very nice looking, and so far after 400- 500 miles, not much wear showing, no cuts, no flats.

Strengths:
Long wearing, tough and very fast.

Weaknesses:
Hard rubber.

Vredistein tri-comp. I quit these after 2 pair due to dry rot cracking and flats.

Price Paid:  $20.00 at Performance

Bike Setup:
cannondale, shimano m600

Summary:
Bought 'em cause they matched the color of my bike (blue & white and black ... try finding another thire like that!).
Ended up liking them very much ... they roll quite fast, & feel secure over variable terrain.
They have a stiff ride, though, and are fairly heavy (310g)
But I actually rode my old circuit 15% faster than with my used Conti SuperSport Ultras!

Strengths:
look cool
good roller
secure in rough terrain

Weaknesses:
rough ride
heavy
