    Strengths:    Nice fat and extreme fast rolling tyre.Looks good on youre bike and the withe is 2.2 actualy (its fatter than my Schwalbe 2.25-ers)Can drive them with low presure also for the bumpy ride. You also can use them for the beach.

    Weaknesses:    None I can think of

    Bottom Line:   
    These fatties role like no other tyre I use on the road plus good cornering.This tyre is super if you use it on the hard road like asphald and concrete.

    Date Reviewed: March 19, 2009

    Strengths:    Super slick, very low rolling resistance (for a mountain bike), slow tread wear. I like the tual tread design, smooth in the middle and more aggressive on the sides (for cornering).

    Weaknesses:    Can't really think of any.

    Bottom Line:   
    Nice fat super smooth road tire for your mountain bike. It won't keep up with the road bikes but it makes riding on the road so much nicer!

    Date Reviewed: April 12, 2008

    Strengths:    Good slicks, soft, fast. Dual compound

    Weaknesses:    None

    Bottom Line:   
    These slicks are pretty good for the road. I run low pressure and a 80lb bike. I run about 18-20 psi in front and 26 psi. I have the 26 x 2.2. They are 26.5 inches tall and about 2 1/16" wide on skinny rims. They soften the bumps pretty well. Pumped up to normal levels, they become easier to pedal but ride gets bumpy at higher speeds. I have 1700 miles on them but I don't pedal much. They will wrinkle on big ledge type bumps if not aired up to like 26, but I don't care about that. They have a thin sidewall but the corners are thick and the center section slick is about 1 inch wide. The softer rubber on the corners is not a slick, but textured rubber. I really like them.
