Favorite Trail:

Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Purchased At:
LBS
Strengths:
Good commuter/around town tyre also usable on dirt roads or when there is a little snow
Weaknesses:
not glass proof (what is?) not suitable for "real" off road riding (neither is my commuter bike) does not look as cool as some slicks
Similar Products Used:
The tyres that were on the bike in 1992
Bike Setup:
1992 Specialized Hard Rock Sport
Bottom Line:
This is a good tire for getting around town and riding areas where real off road capability is not needed. It rolls well and keeps going on dirt roads or a bit of snow. I'd stay away from mud and rocky trails.

Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$20.00
Strengths:
Low rolling resistance
Weaknesses:
Broke from inside. After one thread had broken, more and more threads broke (during one hour in Vätternrundan) and finally inner tube popped out. There was still plenty of rubber left after one year and 6000 km.
Similar Products Used:
Conti GP:s (sidewall too weak), Nokian City Runners (sucks glass), Primo Racers (slippery on wet surfaces)
Bike Setup:
Vision R40 LWB
Bottom Line:
Ok, but cannot be trusted for long trips. Maybe i'll use these in the future and carry foldable spare tire.

This is a MTB compatible tire, but it is not meant to soft or muddy terrains. However it works very well on road and city conditions. Rolling resistance on asphalt or any smooth surface is in a road race class. Before you buy this product, think what kind of a biker you are. If you ride mostly on roads, this may fit your bike well. For my use this has proved to be a good tire. For that reason I give it full five chilis.
