Strengths:
These tires stick like glue to the trail, they refuse to slip especially when out of the saddle hammering up steep inclines. The first time I rode these tires (at 30 psi) I couldn't believe it, I was waiting for the tire to slip but it just wouldn't. I have also been riding some super technical, rocky terrain and I have had no problems with pinch flats at all. Specialized really made a great tire, the tread is fast with low rolling resistance and the dual compound rubber sticks to everything, especially slippery rocks and loose trail. Ride them, there awesome.
Weaknesses:
Non so far
Similar Products Used:

Kick ass tire, I didn't think that such a simple switch could make my bike handle so much better.
