Review by CRANKANDSTEIN
The rubber is softer than any tire I've tried. It was transferring to the trainer roller when first put on. That may be due to the intricate micro-ribs in the tread pattern. The design looks intended for sheer traction under bad conditions. Dragging a thumb across it makes it obvious how well it'll hold the road. The fibrous sidewall reminds me of Gatorskins, but the lower overall weight makes my choice of which to buy real easy. They do only come in skinny, though.

Hard to find a deeper tread pattern in a 700x23 and the ride seemed fine, including cornering. One other viewer had the dickens of a time trying to fit them on his rims. They were a little tight but not to bad, I just use a little tire wet on a rag and crimp it over the bead of the tire, works every time. Never do that on non hooked rims. Also were on sale at purchase for a killer deal. Thanks much-------------Mark

I've changed my share of tires in my cycling life, but never encountered the challenge I faced trying to put these tires on my 2007 Cannondale Synapse with Mavic rims. They were so tight it literally took a couple of hours of fussin and cussing and multiple tire levers. No complaints now that they're on, but sheesh don't want to go through that again

I ride the streets of San Francisco and the nearby roads and these tires have changed my enjoyment. Great grip and full confidence on wet pavement. Soft and very fast. I replaced some Bontrager all purpose tires that came with the bike and these are much better. Enjoy them on your bike.

I replaced a set of Specialized All Condition tires with this set and I'm very happy I did.
They are fast and smooth. The main reason I bought them is for the tread/grip and they delivered. The streets of San Francisco are sometimes wet, usually bumpy, and often feature shattered glass. No problem for these tires.

These are some of the best tires I've ever rode on! A smooth ride with just the right amount of tread to make handling a dream. I would definitely buy again, but they're wearing so well, it won't be any time soon. Great quality... very satisfied!

Really good tire puncture resistance and ride well in the rain.
