    Submitted by Travis D. a Cross Country Rider from Culver, IN
    Date Reviewed: May 31, 2007
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $12.00
    Purchased At:bike ship
    Strengths:Great all around tire providing surprisingly smooth ride and grip because of the soft rubber. Solid performer on small gravel pea size and smaller.
    Weaknesses:Tire will kick to side to side with larger gravel but this is obvious because of the tire design.
    Bike Setup:I ride a Mongoose mountain bike now converted over to a hybrid rider with use of these tires.
    Bottom Line:VERY smooth tire that will give you plenty of off road grip on trails containing packed dirt and small pea size gravel. Smooth ride on country roads that use chip and seal for pavement. Smooth as silk with a brrrrr sound when traveling in town on the smoother pavement. Soft rubber providing excellent grip and traction. Great hybrid tire that provides an excellent on road ride and surprisingly off road performance.

    Date Reviewed: November 10, 2006
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $17.00
    Purchased At:Bike Gallery
    Strengths:- Inexpensive
    - Long life (tire is over four years old). Have over 1500 miles on (front) tire with significant tread life left. I believe I will get 2500 - 3000 miles on front tire.
    - Good tread design for urban commuting. Provides good traction, including wet weather conditions, while maintaining comfortable ride.
    Weaknesses:None from my standpoint, but if someone's looking to minimize weight, while this is not an excessively heavy tire, it's not a low weight tire, either. Also, not designed for serious trail riding. (Fine for greenway type trails.)
    Similar Products Used:None
    Bike Setup:2001 Raleigh SC40 hybrid bike with original gears, brakes, etc. Outfitted with mirror, bell, lights, and rear metal baskets. Intended purely for commuting and recreational use.
    Bottom Line:Very economic tire for urban commuting/recreational uses that provides good traction for less than optimum road situations (e.g., rain).

    Submitted by Craig a Weekend Warrior from Manchester, NH, USA
    Date Reviewed: August 10, 2006
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $15.00
    Purchased At:Jake's Bike Shop, Manchester, NH
    Strengths:Excellent general use tire. Low rolling resitance and smooth turning/cornering for street & highway use. Enables a mountain bike to hang with road bikes and walk away from other mountain bikes on pavement. Tread pattern provides reasonable traction on trails. Tread thickness provides reasonable protection from road hazards. They're durable. I've put over 1000 miles on my first set. I like them enough to already have purchased a second set. But it'll be many more miles before the first set wears out. Fantastic performance for the money. Yes, they're comfortable to ride on too.
    Weaknesses:None. It will only reveal its' off-road limitations in deep sand or mud. But considering its' general-purpose design, this is only a limitation and not a weakness.
    Bike Setup:Balance, model AL450, mountain-bike.
    Bottom Line:Awesome tire for fast rolling street performance and reasonable performance on trails.

    Date Reviewed: July 26, 2006
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $15.00
    Purchased At:Johnny Sprockets
    Strengths:Great traction on anything short of a full on dirt trail. I have used these for commuting year round and have never had a problem. They even got me home one day in about 3 inches of snow -- a little slippery but they worked.

    They're also extremely durable. I have about 1500 miles on them right now and haven't even worn the texture off of the center treads.
    Weaknesses:None really. For the price it's hard to beat these tires.
    Similar Products Used:Random mountain bike tires that were on sale or already mounted to used bikes I've bought.
    Bike Setup:Old Trek 850 Antelope with fenders, lights, rack and panniers.
    Bottom Line:Great tire for anything from road to gravel conditions. Long tread life and a bit quicker than full on knobby mountain tires.

    Date Reviewed: June 8, 2006
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $12.00
    Purchased At:bike shop
    Strengths:High pressure tire turns my mountain bike into a cruiser/speedster for bombing through town with confidence. Greatly reduced roll resistance in comparison to knobby tires.
    Weaknesses:None. I love these tires. But, if you are hardcore singletracker, these probably are not for you.
    Similar Products Used:This is everything I wish my roadbike tires could do.
    Bike Setup:old Trek mountain bike (18 speed) and an old Raleigh cruiser.
    Bottom Line:I originally bought these as a replacement tire for my wife's Raleigh cruiser bike last year. I loved them so much that I had to throw a pair on my mountain bike. I ride primarily in town. I'm not a hardcore singletracker, I'm a tired old roadie looking a better city & trails ride.

    Did I mention I love these tires.
