Strengths:
Fast when going straight

Not high enough PSI for street riding, slides out on asphalt or concrete when cornering too sharp

Bike Setup:
Street singlespeed with PIKE at 90mm. Dual 24"s
Bottom Line:
Slid out too much when cornering. K-rads much better and really light with higher PSI rating. Nokian XXX heavy but best street tire I've ever ridden, Better than hookworms because they felt lighter.
