Strengths: Snazzy colours.Weaknesses: Punctures, punctures and more puncturesBottom Line: Heed the words of others. These tyre puncture real easy. Hey, they look great with those snazzy colours and fancy tread but they crack and puncture like no other tyre. Those who praise these tyres must use really smooth and clean roads.
Favorite Ride: Colnago
Price Paid:
$24.00
Similar Products Used: Michelin Dynamic, Michelin Tracer, Maxxis and Continental Gatorskins. All better tyres.

Strengths: Excellent wear and responded well on corners.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I bought these tires because of the cheap price and after 2700 miles, of which the last 500 miles were on rollers, these tires worked great and wore very well over the last two seasons. All my riding has been on smooth roads and I try to watch out for objects, glass, etc when riding. I did have one flat from a sharp piece of metal, but other than that they responded great. I used the tires in the rain on one occasion when I got caught in a downpour, and they responded well. Changed over to my new set of Vredesteins only because of the wear on my rear tire and for safety since my rides are generally 10-20 miles long. However, I was overall very pleased with the construction and the value of these tires.
Favorite Ride: Anywhere with beautiful scenery
Price Paid:
$20.00
Purchased At: Nashbar

Strengths: Price.
Easy to put on and remove by hand.
Better than Panaracer
Nice ride (initially)Weaknesses: Poor wear.
Easily cut.Bottom Line: Looked and sounded like a good buy initially. Rode well for the first couple of hundred kilometers. Now after about 1400km the read tyre has worn very badly and the sidewall has bulged. Only had one flat (only because I have kevlar liners now). They seem very soft and prone to cuts. My conti's lasted about 4500km till the rear tyre blew. Would be lucky to get half that out of these.

Strengths: puncture resistant, cheap and cheeryWeaknesses: no grip, vey hard to changeBottom Line: These tires are very puncture resistant and they wear very well, have done about 3000 miles with the back tire, on the down side these just dont have any grip on wet roads as i have found out to my expense, the metal bead in them is very hard to take off not much fun trying to remove these in driving rain and have broken at least 2 tire leavers. if you want a good puncture resistant tire for slow speeds these are good, other wise look some where else
Favorite Ride: Any big Climb
