"I used these tires for training miles. They held up well despite exposure to winter sand on the road. Must use a protective tire strip to prevent flats. Must inflate to correct pressure based on rider weight. It's an average tire in its class. I'm going to try the Krylions. Buy if they are on sale."Six000MileYear

Use soapy water on the bead to help mount.

Value

Flats easily. Extra tubes increase total cost of ownership.

(5)

Appearance

Many colors available to match bik.

(4)

Performance

I never cornered hard, so I don't know how grippy the shoulders are.

Strengths

Light tire. Variety of colors. 2000 miles before the casing became visible in the center of the tread.

Weakness

Flats easily. Rider limit of about 80-85 kg (176-187 pounds).
