Price Paid:  $15.00 at eBay

Bike Setup:
BH G4 (Dura-ace).

Summary:
Very happy with this tire. I race MTB mostly, and use WTB. I thought I'd give WTB a try on the road bike, especially with the screaming deal that I got. Turns out that these tires are just as good as the Michelin Krylion.

Strengths:
Very grippy, yet low rolling resistance. Great crit tire. Puncture resistant (I've ridden over glass several times).

Weaknesses:
Take this with a grain of salt; the tires wear quickly, but I ride on chip seal roads (tar with gravel poured on top), so any tire will suffer with these road conditions.

Similar Products Used:
Michelin Carbon, Michelin Krylion, Bontrager Race, etc...

Price Paid:  $35.00 at Where ever i can get

Favorite Ride:
my commute to work

Bike Setup:
Lemond Sarth, 105 everything, crank bro pedals

Summary:
I ride these tires on my rode bike that I commute to and from on. Its 20+ miles each way, i use them rain or shine, and have yet to find anything wrong. Last longer than any other tire I've used

Strengths:
These tires last and protect. I ride over whatever you can think off on my way to work. I go into corners fast and hard and come out smiling. Great in the rain, best in the summer, great with high milage rides

Weaknesses:
They come in one color, or at least that is what I've found and that's black. So if you like colored tires, i would try and see if they come in other colors.

Similar Products Used:
so many, most only last a few months. these last 6-10 months
