Strengths:
Durable and easy to mount, low rolling resistance, surprisingly good traction in dry, dusty conditions
Weaknesses:
no good in gravel or mud heavy

Bottom Line:
These are a great urban tire as well as a good bike-path and dirt trail tire. I've ridden these on slickrock in Moab and they worked great there as well. The twin rail does its job of contributing to low rolling resistance while still providing some directional stability. On the back, if you keep the pressure lowish, the waffle tread will still dig in enough to provide good traction.
