Great tire!
These are a great, light tire for the price... They lack some puncture resistance, but they are a heck of a tire at that price. If you use them for commuting I would recommend getting a tire liner of some sorts. I don't get many flats but it couldn't hurt.

Very good tire for the price
These tires are surprisingly zingy, I feel more road through the rear tire than on the Michelin Lithiums I used before. I have had several punctures and one tire was glass slashed and retired early in its life, too bad. If they made this tire with a kevlar belt it would be all I need in an all around tire.

Best white tire!!
If you have ever wanted white tires...this is the one to get. Will they get dirty? Yes they will! But they lean up easy. And how many people have white tires? Style baby! I've ridden about 200 mi on these and they have held up pretty good so far.

Reasonable price, sure footed
I bought one of these to carry in my backpack on 100 mile rides as a spare if destroy what I already have mounted. I tested it out the other day on my Motobecane Record and it worked great. Seemed fast and held the road well. It has some tread so presumably it will hold on better than a slick when the road is wet, but I don't yet have experience with that. I can't give it 5 stars because I don't think it is magical, but certainly happy with the experience given what I paid for it thus far.
