from Portland, OR USA Date Reviewed: December 13, 2007 Strengths: Reflective strip works great. Seems to wear slowly. Weaknesses: Tread design seems to pick up every single bit of gravel, glass and other debris in the state, and most of the debris from neighboring states. Also, a very heavy tire, noticeably slower than the tires they replaced. In corners, the tires seem squirmy. Certainly not confidence inspiring. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Daily 22 mile r/t commute Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $19.00 Purchased At: biketiresdirect.com Similar Products Used: Continental Gatorback. Bike Setup: Fuji Crosstown 1.0 700 x 32 tires

from Norristown Pa USA Date Reviewed: October 17, 2007 Strengths: Cheap tires for commuting. Have puncture liners built in. Weaknesses: Picked up every tiny stone possible between home and work. Rear tire blew out after 5 months approximately 800 miles. Shouldn't they last longer than that?

from Denver, CO Date Reviewed: April 11, 2007 Strengths: Durable thread, reflective stripe which works great, thick. Tread works great in poor riding conditions such as snow or rain and even ice. I only had one flat so far 600 mi and it was my fault since I did not mount the tire correctly and it pinched my tube. I expect to get many more miles out of this setup since the still tire looks brand new. It survived many more bad roads with glass, garbage, thorns etc than I would have expected it too. Weaknesses: Thickness of the tire works good for protecting the tube but it makes the tire VERY HEAVY. They are even heavier then my knobbies that I use on my xc bike. The tread works great for traction but it also picks up a ton of road debris so you have to constantly pick out glass and sharp rocks that gets imbeded into the crevices. Its also moderately expensive tire around $20. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $18.00 Similar Products Used: Performance city tires which are much lighter, less expensive but are not very reliable. Bike Setup: Converted mtb into singlespeed commuter.
