Good tough tire September 3, 2008

I have had these tires through a riding season, and like them. They are a good compromise for a hybrid/commuter bike, as they have some grip but still ride smoothly. They are also good at resisting punctures.
 Like A Virgin July 27, 2008

These tires are like virgins in that they have yet to be penetrated. I've logged over 1,500 miles on these tires and extricated numerous pieces of glass and other road debris from the tread but have yet to endure a flat because the tire integrity was compromised. The kevlar belt that is installed with the tire (along with another tethlon belt that I place inside the tire to protect the inner tube) is worth every penny when you are out on long endurance rides. Yes, I've endured several pinch flats but never due to a foreign object. The reflective white walls add a rather classic look to your bicycle in my opinion (I have received numerous compliments on the tires alone). What is more, the reflective white walls are an excellent augmentation to have for night time riding esp. if you have no reflectors or your rim doesn't have a silver finish. The only thing I didn't like was that my old tires had a max psi of 85 and these have a max of only 75 psi, I enjoyed having that extra 10 psi of leeway. I believe the absence of that extra 10 psi is why I seem to experience more pinch flats than normal since changing tires. But overall this is an outstanding tire to ride upon, she will be rather chaste when it comes to road debris.
