Strengths: Cheap(er), high pressure, rolls wellWeaknesses: DurabilityBottom Line: I would say these tires are neither good nor bad. I would put them right in the middle. I bought them hoping to find something more durable than the Open Corsa Evo II tyres and cheaper than them and the 4000s. Well, they were cheaper. As for durability? I would say nay. They lasted about 1400 miles, just a few hundred more than the Open Corsas. They roll well, hold incredible amounts of air and corner predictably. I wouldn't say they hold a corner better than the Vittorias though. They certainly handle better than my old Michelin Open Pro 2's. They are pretty much in the middle. Not the best, not the worst.
They did a great job until the end of not allowing anything to puncture. After that, it was game over. Not as bad as the Vittorias or Michelins but probably not as strong as Contis.
Would I use them as a race tyre? Probably not? A training tire? Maybe. Would I buy again? Probably not. I'm sure there's better things out there. I'll keep trying something until it meets durability and price standards. I'll let you know when I get there.

Strengths: Ride quality, handling.
Super stable for crit corners.Weaknesses: Can be hard to find due their popularity and dealers being constantly sold out.Bottom Line: These are easily the best all around racing tire I've come across in my 20 years of racing. You'll notice the difference right away. I did even as I was pedaling out of my driveway. Every friend I've turned on to them has the same experience. Plus, they last longer than any other high performance tire I've used. They feel very similar to the popular Vittoria Open Corsa CX but will last much much longer. I've used the Open Corsa and liked it but, it was very expensive and didn't even last 2000 miles.
It's really hard to go wrong with this tire.

Strengths: grip, durability, cut resistance, soft "feel".Weaknesses: a bit pricey at retail.Bottom Line: love these! as i get older I keep finding better and better products. I'm a big believer that tires are REALLY important when considering the balance of durability, "feel", performance, and value. These are sensational everyday tires. The improvement these tires have provided vs Continentals GP4season, 4000, Michelin Pro 2, Krylions, Hutchinson fusion comps, is significant. if these are avail in tubeless soon, I'll be psyched.
This is the tire that kept me from going tubeless for the past year or so.

Strengths: Very light, very fast and very puncture-prrofWeaknesses: Maybe it's me, but the tires feel slightly sleepery under wet conditions.Bottom Line: Excellent tires. Good grip and smooth and fast ride. I changed the tires after 4,000 km and used the new pair for another 2,500 km. During this time I had one puncture in my rear tire and another one in the front tire. Better than any other tires I've used.

Strengths: Smooth, long-lasting, durableWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: I put Tricomps on front & back May 2008 and never rotated the tires (had I done so I would have gotten a lot more wear out of the rear tire). I put just over 5900 miles on these tires with no flats before the rear tire wore through to the threads & the front tire still has good tread.
