Weaknesses: traction not good in corners, slide sideways
Bottom Line:
replaced my conti ultra 3000's - bike shop was "out" of them and recommended these saying that i wouldnt be able to tell the difference, i can. these feel pretty stiff and go sideways in the corners. dont handle any way near as well as the contis i had before. will let you know how they wear IF i keep them.
