at THe Bike Spot, Fort Favorite Ride: Panaracer RiBMo Bike Setup: Fuji Touring with Brooks Swift Saddle, Look A5.1 pedals, Shimano Deore components, Garmin Edge 205, Blackburn lighting Summary: I bought these tires for my Fuji Touring bike. I use it to commute to and from work (34 miles round trip). I found that the 85 PSI tires from the factory were just pinched too much with all the weight. I run 2 suntour panniers and carry a lot of stuff (laptop, clothes, etc..) The immediate difference is the efficiency of the tire and the smoothness of the ride. I've had no problems riding in the rain and they corner very well.
I highly recommend these tires if you need a lttle more speed and can sacrifice the lower pressue "fat tire" feel from the factory originals.. Strengths: Kevlar bead - reinforced tread design and 100 PSI. Weaknesses: I was not a big fan of the lettering on the tire or the hardness of the tread material, but it seems to work. Do not buy these if you don't like some road feel or vibration. Similar Products Used: I've tried almost every available commuter and touring tire out there.
