Weaknesses: Hard to get onto rims the first time. The skin sidewalls are not my first choice (I prefer black sidewalls), but that's a personal peeve and not an actual weakness.

from London, UK Date Reviewed: February 3, 2005 Strengths: Looks? Weaknesses: I think it is a horrible tire. In fact Tioga should be banned from producing it along with Kona that puts them as standard on its Smoke ( which is an excellent bike for the price ) In short - this tire may be dangerous for your life!!!( I refer to 26 x 1.95 version ) When you try to corner at relatively high speed (or at any speed for that matter ) it starts producing this scary whistling sound and then you just fall. I had fallen 3 times on completely dry road, once almost loosing my life to a London double decker bus!!! Falling on a dry, smooth surface is something that has not happened to me since I was 6!!! I am actually not a risky rider though I want to think an experienced one. I then switched to Continental's City Contacts 26x1,5- what a difference! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: London streets Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: came standard on my Kona Smoke Similar Products Used: various 1.5 slicks by Continental Bike Setup: Kona Smoke ,for commuting. Hasn't changed much on the bike.

from Bristol Date Reviewed: April 5, 2001 Strengths: I thought I ought to review these again as I have a few things to add. They are still good tires, light with good grip on the road and corners etc. Weaknesses: The side walls. I have gone through several pairs now some damage was due to the brakes rubbing after wear but the generally seem to degrade with use and the side walls are thin anyway. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $22.00 Purchased At: Bike Bristol Similar Products Used: I have just bought a pair of Specialized Armadilos. Bike Setup: Timberline GT (my ride till it fails run around)
