Dave Date Reviewed: July 2, 2012 Strengths: I bought these around 10 years ago to replace the cheapo nobblies on my cheapo mountain bike. They have been all round excellent in the urban environment I have used them in. Hard and fast rolling. I had NO punctures in all the years I used them until the one I had last year, which ripped the side of the rear tyre. I replaced it with a cheap Decathlon tyre for a year, which was horrible in comparison. This year I did the bike up a bit and put a new pair of Kenda slicks on. These were OK until I got multiple punctures in the back tyre over a couple of days. I had kept the old front Bontrager Invert and it is now on the back and everythings running fine again. Weaknesses: None. Bottom Line:

from Greenville Date Reviewed: May 29, 2011 Strengths: I've put on aprox 1000 miles on my bike and the tires are still performing as new. They grip well in the rain and in the corners. I commute about 7 miles each way during the week w/ these pumped up to 70lbs and yes, it's a bit bumpy, but they sure do roll well. I have only had one flat in the year I have had these tires due to a poor true job by yours truly. These handle packed gravel trails well too. If you're a commuter, to me, these tires are a viable option. Weaknesses: They might chunk a bit in skids - not that you should be skidding any. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Bike Setup: Trek 7100 setup for commuting to work. Fenders, rack, lights & pedals have been added to make the ride better.

from Boston Date Reviewed: July 31, 2004 Strengths: The difference between these tires and knobbies on the road are amazing. Acceleration is greatly improved and the bike feels much better than with the stock bontrager connection. I even used these on single track and could still keep up with my friends, just watch out for mud because you will sink right in. Weaknesses: none so far, few hundred miles and no flats yet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: 15.00 Similar Products Used: none Bike Setup: Trek 4300

from nanaimo, BC, Canada (residing in Japan) Date Reviewed: April 13, 2003 Strengths: smooth and fast on the road yet able to handle light trail riding if you are careful. The tread is great in the rain. I was even forced to use them with a light dusting of snow and some ice on the ground and had no troubles. The diamiter is big engough that they can take a fairly good hit without going flat in a second. Weaknesses: they don`t seat on my rims properly, making them one of the probably the most frustrating set of tires I`ve ever owned. Any other tire I put on the rim seats perfectly yet I really have to work at these to get all the lumps and bumps to go away. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything with dirt will do Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $15.00 Purchased At: Ken`s Cyclehouse Similar Products Used: Hutchinson top slick. Bike Setup: frame and wheels. what do you care, you`re reading this for the tires, right?

from Cullman AL USA Date Reviewed: July 25, 2002 Strengths: Very smooth ride for street. Greatly improved cornering over my OEM tires. First day out matched my personal best on a short 12 mile road circuit I ride. Tolerant of small road debris on street and not wet sensitive. Very resistant to wandering. Weaknesses: Wish it came in a 1.95. Don't buy if you are going to spend time in loose stuff off road.
