Strengths: Super Light, good grip on the cross country trails and fast as heck.Weaknesses: They go bald pretty fast and the compound is a little hard, but for that price I'm not crying.Bottom Line: These are great tires, great weight, great price. Put them on your cross country race bike and you will be greatly surprised.

Strengths: Very light and cheap. 120 TPI for $13 is pretty darn good.Weaknesses: Won't last forever, but who cares at $13? Probably not real puncture-resistant, but no flats so far.Bottom Line: Great tires for enjoying the drought! Here in SoCal the trails are dry and dusty after 3 inches of rain in the last year. One benefit of the drought is there are lots fewer goathead thorns this year, so I decided to ride lighter tires after a couple years of having to be totally thorn-proof on Specialized Roll-X Armadillos (totally puncture-proof, really heavy). I'm very happy with the FastTracs. They're nice and light, cheap, and ride pretty damn nice. Not so good in mud or deep loose stuff, but I don't expect them to be since that's not the job of a low-tread XC tire. Seem to be a very good value for 13 bucks.
Favorite Trail: The one no one else rides

Strengths: Light, easy to mount, does not wash out in the turns, good traction on medium to hard surfaces, low price, low rolling resistanceWeaknesses: Does not have enough grip for soft surfaces and sand. Sidewalls are thin and could be a concern in rocky terrainBottom Line: Good value for the money if you ride on medium to hard trails or streets.
